No love from Newport Beach JLR. I'm pretty sure my car arrived in port the 15th, but they haven't been very forthcoming concerning anything. I might order a Tesla on the 30th (last day to get the full rebate). I picked the wrong dealership, and now I'm being punished for it. NB JLR is one of the few JLR dealers in the area who have not received an i-Pace. I think they are in financial trouble.
Southern California Orders
Just an FYI that I was told by a reliable source that the next ship is due in to port on November 20th. Still don’t know if my car is on this ship, or not (but, I am trying to find out).

They had an I-Pace last week - I drove it. I understand it should still be there. They also told me they had a couple others in earlier this month, sold.No love from Newport Beach JLR.

I think the Tesla would be the best thing for you. If I recall correctly, in an earlier post you had said 200 mile range would be a deal breaker. Unless you are driving the I-Pace like a grandma drives her Prius, you’ll never reach 200 miles ?No love from Newport Beach JLR.

I have a hard time believing Tesla can deliver in 4 weeks even in CA unless it’s in inventory.
I would not wait another day if the Tesla $3,750 reduction in tax credit is important to you.
I'm getting the carrot tied to stick. I went down in person, and did see a MFR Photon Red, but no other i-Paces. Their website has only listed i-Paces from other dealers.
But they said they put my car on a truck today. That's <5 hrs away with bad traffic. We will see if it's there tomorrow.
$3,750 cash beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. But I need to buy something this year for tax reasons.
In SoCal, I'll be surprised if the i-Pace gets under 200 miles in the winter. There is radar on the 241, and the other freeways are normally congested.
To put it in perspective, the shop Volt has an EPA of 53 miles. I routinely do a freeway loop to a customer that is 58.4 miles with juice leftover. This is at 11 am, not rush hour.

Good for you! I haven’t heard what folks down that way are getting for consumption numbers. Have you heard any real world numbers?I'm getting the carrot tied to stick.

Many reports from Europe of a 350 km range. That is 220 miles. In mild weather, it should be able to do it.
Yes, they made me comfortable enough to plunk my money down. However there are others who are seeing consumption like mine, so there seems to be a wide range and everyone seems to have the same software (14.2). However when I asked one Norwegian (who is reporting fuel economy much better than our EPA) what his software version was, his screen for version number was blank...?Many reports from Europe of a 350 km range.

Not sure if there have been other ships in the past couple of days, but the Tugela did arrive today at 4pm. Pretty sure that South Bay Jag has five vehicles on board (including mine). So, I would have to imagine that there are similar numbers for the various other dealers in the LA basin. My guess would be 5 to 7 days before they are ready for delivery to customers.
I have been following this thread as my car has been 'lost' at the port in Zebrugee, Belgium after a build date of 11/3.
After posting a DHL letter to Dr. Speth in the UK, I did receive an immediate response; car found and apologies for it being lost.
How many days does it take the ship to go from the port in Zebrugee, Belgium to Port Hueneme, CA?
The reason I'm asking is because I have have been told wide ranging numbers. You guys have been following your cars closely so I believe you will have realistic numbers. My dealer is 450 miles from the port in CA.
Thanks

IIRC, about 3-4 weeks. There is a ship name and code on your status sheet, that will tell you when the ship hits port. Make sure you locate a 'car carrier', ship names are not unique.
You can call them and get a LR RWD next day if you're in the Bay Area. From reading the TMC Model 3 forums, it seems North American demand has been exhausted for a few weeks at minimum. Their logistics is such **** though I still expect a raft of year-end deliveries in points farther east even for cars that were built weeks/months earlier.I have a hard time believing Tesla can deliver in 4 weeks even in CA unless it’s in inventory.
Just got word from Cerritos/Penske Jaguar that my I-Pace is built (with an updated order sheet with status "Despatched" I sure they meant "Dispatched") and is waiting to be put in a ship. Expected delivery date at dealer is 1/11/19.
That sounds pretty much like out of inventory if its rolling off the line or is sitting somewhere. But yeah I can't imagine they could ship it anywhere else. I guess if you really want it you can fly out there, take delivery, then they may ship it to you.You can call them and get a LR RWD next day if you're in the Bay Area.

Who knows...
Yes, they seem to have a lot of inventory piling up, in CA and around the US. Their problem is delivery logistics. They are sometimes able to deliver a working car in a day or two after order. But in other cases, they cancel delivery four times, and then deliver something with lots of defects. Seems to be a real crapshoot with them these days.I have a hard time believing Tesla can deliver in 4 weeks even in CA unless it’s in inventory.
And Finally! Ordered May 30, 2018. Received November 28, 2018 at 8 pm. Newport Beach JLR delivered it with 30% charge. They had no CCS or L2 capability at their shop, and it had arrived yesterday afternoon. They didn't want me to take delivery with under 80%, but I talked them into it. 22 miles on the odo when sold.
The Steering Assist does work, even though three different JLR people told me it does not. Very relaxing drive down the 241 with Adaptive Cruise and Steering Assist.
At 65 mph, the 'guessometer' was about spot on with AC and stereo on, driving through hills up to 6% grade and climbing 800' altitude total.
But that's not scientific at all. Need to do a loop, and measure the electricity.
With 9% charge remaining, it first estimated 11h30m to charge using a Juicebox 40. Odd.
This will be interesting to play with. So far, very happy even though I paid full MSRP which is something I don't do.
It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! WOO HOO!

Woohoo!! Congrats Man! Keep us posted!
You'll love it, I think!! I have a much happier tale of how I got mine, but I don't know if I should share it now after reading through your struggle here. It might not be politic.
In the end, all is OK, but the dealer I selected is not a good choice for EVs. I knew more about the car than anybody working there, and I went through 4 different points of contact. Perhaps I would have gotten my car a month earlier if I picked a different dealer.You'll love it, I think!!

The ironic part? We found we could have picked up the exact same car in our area right off lot fully charged yesterday. No ordering necessary.
