Not bad.

Yes however the car was "Totaled" by JLR. No fault of ours. JLR is forcing the market value sooner than we planned and this increases our cost by at least $20,000

Right?, we should be sooo thankful that JLR likely knew about these battery faults early on (Sharon Joyce V JLRNA), have done an abismal job at handling the situation, are leaving people in the dark & in potential danger (don't come at me with %s; their deplorable tactics are based on a risk assessment of a death/injury being less than making class owners whole), and are banking on enough people settling for their oh-so generous pittance.

They know the cost to replace the packs, and they know they wouldn't have the physical capability to replace them [as LG recalls are setting fires across the board]--why not screw people in the name of trying* to save money (Diesel Gate, Chevy Bolt). Aversion bias 101. And they think* they'll actually pull-off upscale EVs lol

The value is certainly much higher than $0. Do a quick search. There are still plenty of used 2019 I-Paces for sale and they are selling. I just bought one 3 weeks ago. The value of the 2019 I-Pace is comparable to the value of a 2019 Tesla. All EVs have depreciated heavily. Most used car shoppers and used car dealers are unaware of the recall.

I bought mine because I want to try out an EV with low risk of losing a ton of money to depreciation. After the $4K used EV tax credit, I will likely make a few bucks when I sell it back to Jaguar.

Also, based on what some have indicated, it seems the offers are more than fair. You could probably buy a similar 2020 I-Pace with the buyback check if you want to stay in an I-Pace.

Me too, I am in Michigan. I told the 3rd party I would go the lemon law route if the offer is subpar. He said lemon law won't apply. I thought to myself this can't be right. I actually bought CPO used not new, but lemon law should still apply. It's a vehicle not safe and not doing what it is advertised for, and mine spent significant time in the dealership waiting for battery fix. So I think it's a coercion tactic.

Lemon law applies to used vehicles if it had factory warranty left. Also you can sue for breach of contract like I am. Easier to prove. They refused to fix my car under warranty.

Not a ton of info but here is what they said.

Those Who have had the latest update will be first in line.

Notices should go out at earliest end of this week but most likely next week via email, Phone, and mail.

They are going to ask you to take your Ipace to the local dealer

You will be assigned a mediator as part of this process for negotiating purposes.

Lets all stick together and share during this process to make sure know one is taken advantage of.

The UK owners were offered the option of a new set of batteries or repurchase. It seems that deal is not on the table in the US. I had the recall completed 10 days ago, and total silence on any repurchase.

At this point, I'm not planning on going back to Jaguar. This whole thing has been so pitifully handled. If they did offer a new battery, I'd likely say yes.

I agree, I'd rather keep it. I totalled up the money spent under the warranty, and a minimum of $29,000 went into my iPace. One new drive motor, several new batteries

Different recall. H514 is US only (all 2019 I-Paces) and a buyback only solution while H484 was for certain I-Paces worldwide where the options were buyback, buyback with sweetener for new I-Pace or replacement pack.

FYI ...
This is the email I received last night.
The person who contacts you might not be Scott... I X'ed out his last name to keep some privacy.
No NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) here, so I will share it.
For those who wan to keep their I Pace, there is an "out" to do that at the end of the email. But I and many will fore warn that if a person takes that avenue, and the car burns up and your home, do not go crying to JLR about it or asking for compensation.
