I’m growing desperately impatient waiting for mine and the delivery date has slipped to late December. It will be a comfort to know when someone in North America actually receives one. Please chime in!

I’m in the UK with a 22MY on order, the build is for October. Had a call from the dealer yesterday to say Head Up Display is no longer being fitted to any new Jaguar.

Whilst not entirely happy, it’s just the way it is. Did anyone else get a call with this information?
I was at a local JLR dealer last week. The salesperson mentioned he could not order any Jaguar or Land Rover with HUD. I said that would be a deal breaker for me. Once you have it, you'll most likely always want it in all future transportation products.

I checked the Canadian build site and the only choice is the HSE which comes standard with the HUD. Interestingly, although they indicated in that article the price would be lower, I configured a 2022 HSE with the same features that the 2019 First Edition came with and it is coming out at $10,000 more expensive.

Prices were lowered significantly for the USA market, but no such change for Canada, so prices are about 13% higher in Canada after adjusting for the difference in the dollars. A year ago they were a bit lower after adjusting for the dollar (and the exchange rate is more favourable to Canadians now than it was last year).

Notwithstanding what you see on the Canadian configuator, judging from the previous comments I'm guessing that Canada will not see HUD on a car ordered today. With so few cars sold in Canada I don't think that Jaguar is very attentive to this market or the Canadian configurator.

That First Edition came with a lot of options which I would not want. In fact, when I configure the MY22 with all of the options that I want it is a bit less costly than a First Edition. But the absence of HUD will be a deal-breaker for me.

To be honnest, this HUB has been designed for an ICE car, not an EV. I don't find the useful info I usually look at when I drive (instant consumption, average consumption, estimated range, distance, etc). I need those info to validate if I can get to the next point on long distance. I am back from a 5000km road trip and I barely noticed the HUD....

Agreed. Just had a chance to go to the Santa Monica JLR website. The grey I-Pace's window sticker clearly shows "Heads- up Display" as the last feature of the Comfort and Convenience section of the standard features.
My guess is that the features offered in different locations reflect JLR's marketing expectations, and features/chips that are in short supply are only allocated to specific markets.

Real bummer for the UK customers who pay more to start with.🙂 Come to the US - we have our problems, but overly priced I-Paces is not one of them.

I called today about them :) Our salesman there...we have bought 5 JLR from him...greatest guy. Yeah, the blue one sold immediately and the gray one did too, but their financing fell through. They were asking $10k over, but they said they would take $5k over.

Isn't crazy how there is a markup on the I-Pace now? I got $14k off my 2019 and $20k off my 2020.... :-O

I was speaking to JLR Pivotal in the U.K. yesterday as I’m due a replacement I-Pace HSE next month. Seems car availability isn’t too bad at present (they had 50 plus cars on the system to allocate) but numbers will dwindle as the months go bye. Discussed chip shortages and JLR are not making high spec cars like the Autobiography as too high a chip count as they can make 3 lower spec models. They have even had to stop supplying 2 keys with cars, so just one physical key at moment. Forgot to ask if they will later supply the missing ones.

I placed an order for '22 I-Pace mid-August from local JLR dealer. They had reserved a slot for mid-December. Order came back with one item missing - Surround Cameras! JLR wouldn't say when camera would be available. As I didn't want a "blind" I-Pace, I asked them to look for cars that had already been built before the camera shortage.

Dealer went to order database and found one similar to what we wanted (Santorini Black instead of Farallon Black) that was arriving in September. Dealer tried to negotiate a "swap" with the other dealer, but gave up after a month. Dealer told me where car was located and I called them. They were reluctant to sell to me as I am out of their market, but finally agreed to sell it to me at MSRP.

Truck containing the I-Pace should be arriving in 7-10 days. A long, complicated process but well worth it.

If you want an I-Pace with Park Assist and 360 degree Surround Camera your only recourse would appear to be finding one built before the shortage.

JLR lowered prices significantly in the States, but forgot to do so for those of us in Canada. Of course, dealers won't sell to non-residents, so my best option would be to find someone in New Hampshire (no sales tax) to buy one and resell it to me as a used car. By the time I paid the import duty and brokerage fees I would still be about $5,000 ahead :p . (It's not going to happen).

My friend in Massachusetts just purchased one for MSRP today. His previous iPace was the victim of a hard hit&run. Fortunately no one was hurt. He tested a F-Pace SVR which he stated was jaguars attempt to make an SUV into a sports car. The fit and finish was beautiful, but the ride was very jarring.
He then tested an RS Q8 after a friend suggestion, I found the ride to be even more unpleasant! “It’s as though you were undergoing lithotripsy the entire time while driving.” (To paraphrase).
Ultimately he returned to another iPace.
Happy to share more details soon: curious about the new infotainment system. And if you notice the model designation S, SE, HSE is no longer of visible on the door. As a previous poster commented, maybe the USA truly is getting everything HSE.

Very good to hear. Ride comfort is my priority.

That would make sense, but I can't fathom some of the choices that dealers make. The market in Canada is tiny, so I would have expected dealers to (for example) stick with interiors which were likely to be popular (such as practical charcoal or tan leather rather than Oyster or Mars Red). A local dealer wants to sell me car which lacks adaptive dynamics and adaptive surface response (collectively $920 worth of upgrade) but which has a suedecloth headliner (a $1020 upgrade). I'm looking for a car which is a pleasure to drive, and I pay no attention to the headliner. I rarely carry a passenger, and if I do it's likely to be my wife of 45 years, who will not be impressed with $1,300 worth of carbon fibre dashboard trim so long as I want her to believe that we can't afford that new stove that she wants ;)

Here’s some notes about the 2022 model:

all but two of the USB ports have become USB-C. Both rear are C, one center console is C. One center console is A and one by the glovebox is A. The driver side under dash one is gone. I presume it became the power source for the wireless charger.

the rear storage cover is just a cloth pull tab now instead of the nice plastic release n lift handle. Trying to decide how disappointed i am about this living in a world where people have actual real problems.

if you don’t have configurable ambient lighting, dynamic mode doesn’t turn the interior red. Also the silver gauge bezels are gone in dynamic mode. What the heck?

whenever i open a door, it pauses charging. That seems dumb. And a PITA when your re at EA since you basically have to start a new session.

dunno if the 20 has this but there is now a stop charging and release charge button inside the charger door. It has a bright white sticker on it.

you can no longer have media on teh bottom screen, as far as i can tell. It is climate only.

the updated nav is actually pretty slick. I only have one drive to judge it but let me tell you what it did. I routed it to my destination, it said are you sure, you will arrive with 8% charge and i said yes. Then it clearly updated the range meter (GOM) with the anticipated usage for that trip! So what was originally 240 miles of range instantly got reduced to 190 when the destination was set (it was a drive averaging 70 mph with some elevation changes). And the delta between miles remaining range and miles left to go trip stayed the same the entire trip. As i drove and it had actually usage data, my charge remaining crept up from 8% every 15-20 minutes or so until eventually it was 15% when i arrived. So it plans on the conservative side of reality. Really nice. Actually planned better than the ABRP app. Was it a fluke? I don’t know but that was behavior very much like the TESLA nav works. So really happy there.
