Does your wife like the X? Will you guys keep it or return it?
My wife loves the X, but she didn't drive the I-Pace much. Since it will be her car in about a year, that works for me.
The driver's experience is far better in the I-Pace, but the MX is not all bad. Here are things Jaguar should consider:
1) You can drive with the rear camera running. This is a nice blindspot monitor since it's super wide angle. And you can see through the back passengers or cargo.
2) It has a 2" hitch receiver, with a 7 pin round connector.
3) There is a "Feel Lucky" navigation button. You hit it, and it pops up an adventure destination at random. All cars need this.
4) There is a built in DashCam. While it could use some refinement (you can't play the videos back without a computer), it is nice.
5) The stalk control Tesla uses for ACC and AutoSteer is way better than what other people are using. The Jaguar control is good, but the Tesla is better.
What Tesla could learn from Jaguar (other than handling):
1) Tesla needs another trim level, say HSE or FE. Get this, there is ONE open USB port in the front. The second one is taken by the inductive phone charger. The center armrest has no storage, nor do the seat backs.
2) Needs a setting to "Present" door handles.
3) You should not HAVE to look at the center of the dash for anything. Ideally, put in a HUD option so you can keep your eyes on the road.
4) Don't shut off autosteering when the driver makes a minor correction to the AP. I could not understand why it kept turning off. It was because when AP was getting too close to a threat, I'd nudge the car over, which shuts off the AP.
5) It's $85,000+, spend $100 on some sound-proofing! A Prius has lower noise levels. Our 404HP Caddy is much quieter, and the I-Pace is quieter than that.
6) The year is 2020. It's time to integrate a cellphone correctly with a car. It's seriously primitive. Our 2006 pickup has more cell integration (it has a 2008 JVC stereo in it).
7) Some seat options would be nice. The seat is OK, but the Jaguar seat is very much superior.
