At this point I am just keeping mine and driving/charging normal. Maybe two to five more years.

 

Who will do the servicing if you run into problems and JLR declines to fix it for you? Curious, because I've considered the same thing, but after running into a need for some invasive work, realized that not just any mechanic will be able to work on an EV safely.

 

I will say that there has been some concern about whether a good balancing of the traction battery is occurring when it is being kicked out at an unexpected 72%. After I had 2 cells replaced, I was able to charge to 100% again, but my range was way down for about 2 weeks until it apparently balanced out at a normal 100% with a longer range.

 

In the world of DIY battery assembly a very slow charge to the top will definitely help the balancer work.
May as well use the included charging cord if the charger cannot be set to low power.

 

Following several post streams, add another to the list. My situation has been posted in several different streams. Like you Im an original owner of a 19 that I ordered in fall of 18. Despite all the trouble she’s been I still love her and really don’t want to sell her back to Jaguar, especially at 30K, if that’s even the figure.

 

Im not doing the buyback either. 2019 first edition owner. Happy with the ruling on Monday that Jaguar lost in the jersey class action suit.

 

30k is unacceptable. I'll start the lemon process once I get my taxes done.

 

Oh, nevermind. My leftist California representatives allowed passage of a bill that shortened the lemon law to six years. I'm fucked.

 

Speaking for me only I would appreciate if we keep political comments out of discussions about our cars. Its hard enough to participate in the public sphere in the US lately, I enjoy places like this where I can still engage on topics in an appropriate and topic appropriate context.

 

I received an email from the company Morley today. They asked for documents and said that "This correspondence serves as confirmation that Jaguar Land Rover will repurchase your vehicle at the market value of your vehicle from October 2024. Over time vehicles depreciate and utilizing the Kelly Blue Book market value from October 2024 ensures a fair offer for all our customers. ". Their bold. I wrote back that my idea of fairness was having a similar car and suggested a new battery or that we follow MA Lemon Law math (1% off per 1000 miles)

 

What’s that formula work out for you, the 1%?

 

Buy Back for H514 is going to happen. Although I traded in my 2019 FE for another EV, I received a recall H514 notice dated 3/5/25 stating that JLR's final remedy is "to arrange re-purchase of your vehicle from you." See highlighted text in attachment. PS: I love my new EV and don't miss my I-Pace.

 

Can you tell us which EV you got as a replacement? I am looking at Lucid or the EQS

 

Keeping it is definitely a realistic option, especially if you're fine with the 80% range and don’t want another car payment. The biggest downside is resale value—it’ll likely keep dropping, and future trade-in options may be limited.

Legally, as long as the recall isn’t mandatory, you should be fine. If it meets your needs and is in great shape, sticking with it seems reasonable. That said, if Jaguar’s buyback offer is anywhere near $30K, it might be worth considering before values dip further. Waiting for the formal offer first is a good move

 

I considered doing exactly this, but realized that if I refuse a buy-back and Jaguar says it will no longer service the thing at all, who do I get to service exotic 400V accessories like AC, blowers... The local tech showed me the moon suit and special equipment Jag requires him to use. Your local shade tree mechanic won't have such advantages or know how. But I do wonder if a cottage industry servicing orphaned EVs might spring up over the next few years as a result of failed companies and abandonment by manufacturers.

 

I feel so privileged I already have a complete new battery back.
I am really sorry for you all...

 

Will more than likely trade into a Gravity in 2026.

 

But what if Gravity fails..
