Since I'm still selling my wife the I-Pace idea, I ran down to tell her about the window feature as soon as I saw it!I didn't know about the windows either. We had some car in the past that would roll down the windows with a continued press of the remote, but I don't think it would also roll up the windows. Cool.
I sell the I-Pace by the unique looks of the exterior, hood intake, low roofline, lines that form factor that can only work on a ground up EV platform.Since I'm still selling my wife the I-Pace idea, I ran down to tell her about the window feature as soon as I saw it!![]()
I tried all those, but she wasn't convinced! I think I got her on the windows though......I sell the I-Pace by the unique looks of the exterior, hood intake, low roofline, lines that form factor that can only work on a ground up EV platform.
Build quality, fit, finish and materials. I ask them to touch the leather, observe the glass roof.
Pièce de resistance is the launch, handling and performance of the car. The one peddle driving, no turbo lag, no transmission or gear shifting makes the experience superior to other automobiles
Haha. Yes, those cool factor features seal the dealI tried all those, but she wasn't convinced! I think I got her on the windows though......![]()

Ah I thought it was just me.Global closing via the fob is not enabled in the US and you have to continuously press the door handle button to lock the car and close the windows. Global closing has been added to the i-guide phone app but the owner's manual may have not the information (I haven't see a recent edition).
We have lots of lawyers in the U.S. so closing windows on little fingers can result in big $$$ payouts.Ah I thought it was just me.
Global opening works from the fob though, go figure ....
I see. So one must be there to watch the window closing. Then it should stated in the manual that this function is disabled in us due to ....We have lots of lawyers in the U.S. so closing windows on little fingers can result in big $$$ payouts.![]()
If you get a recommendation, Ken, I hope you'll share it with me. We, too, have lots of issues with the Voice Recognition on our '19 HSE. Our XJL that we traded in for the I-Pace had no such problems. Nor have our previous Lexus's or our current and prior Mercedes SLs. Interesting that our Service Rep and one of his assistants tried entering some of the same locations our HSE couldn't find and it couldn't find those for them, either. Yet the Service Manager (who speaks with a noticeable accent, could enter those. Amazing! I've gone to Jaguar Corporate in NJ and although they've said they would call me back to discuss this issue they haven't . . . even after my making a 2nd request. That's not good. In any event should you get your problems solved, I will certainly appreciate your letting me know how.I laughed when he got to the voice recognition part. I still have a dismal success rate using the voice recognition for navigation to a named POI. I can search the database via the keyboard for a restaurant like ‘Anthony’s by the Bay’ and it will come up immediately. But if I try a voice search for the same POI, it gives me the most bizarre results, not even remotely like what I asked for. So it’s in the database but not properly understanding the voice. Yet my wife’s Lexus responds accurately and predictably to the same voice search.
The I-Pace’s voice recognition is OK for very simple things like ‘Navigate to Wendys’, but beyond that it’s really poor for me. I did change the voice to American English, so it’s not that and my diction is good, so it’s not that either. Maybe I should try Mandarin?
Anyone have any ideas to improve the hit rate?
Joe, I wish I had the answer. As recently as two days ago we tried it with no success. I used the exact phraseology suggested in the manual when searching for a POI.If you get a recommendation, Ken, I hope you'll share it with me.

Probably. I’m still waiting for the wireless Car Play/AA device to be available and out of testing. Call me stubborn, but I just hate physically plugging and unplugging the phone in to the car.I don't bother with the oem infotainment. It's all bluetooth, most of the time, and AA, on long trips. All cell phone. Have I saved myself a substantial number of cycles of frustration and wasted time?![]()
