Jaguar I-PACE Sales Hit Just 140 In August: Sign Of Production Hell?
The Jaguar I-PACE sales ramp-up is more than a bit disappointing
Introducing a new all-electric model on the market isn’t as easy as some might think. Jaguar in August sold just 140 I-PACE, according to industry analyst Matthias Schmidt (schmidtmatthias.de).
Total sales of the I-Pace in its first few months on the market now stand at 558.

It’s hard to say whether Jaguar is experiencing some Tesla-like production hell, but there is an urgent need to ramp up production as in the Netherlands alone, 3,500 I-PACe are needed to satisfy demand ahead of tax changes.

Additionally, it seems likely Jaguar will delay the launch of the I-Pace in other markets now (like in the U.S.) as it attempts to fulfill a mounting backlog of demand over in Europe.

Is Prince Charles in the 558? If not, it’s 559. So, there. #Teslakilled
As long as Tesla reigns supreme, all is right in the world. Anything non-Tesla is a waste of time. Tesla Tesla Tesla.
That is some weird fanaticism…
It is, but it’s clearly from a Tesla hater doing a bizarre impression of a Tesla supporter.
It is just the latest example of the same hater troll(s) jumping in with a new username to try and divert away attention from the facts that EV sales are way up and this is being led by Tesla.
Pass the bong. Oh wait, CEO decided to keep it.
It was a joint, so maybe don’t Bogart that joint my friend.

Thanks for that!
Production up, Sales up, time to smell the …Roses?
😱
why are they not able to build more, did anyone have a serious idea?
Look at every major EV launch in the last few years. They all start slow due to production ramp up, especially for a new platform and drivetrain. Not surprising.
I would wager it was built as a marketing piece and their preference is to sell highly profitable ICE.
Its being built by Magna Styer who have their own capacity contraints.
Just curious, when does the “SCORECARD” get a row for the Jaguar I-Pace?
As soon as they sell 1 or more I-Paces in the US. The Scorecard shows US delivery numbers.
When does Waymo take delivery of their first batches? I know they have at least some in the Bay Area.
Are you planning to get one and will you change your handle to “Eight Electrics”?
“Eight Electric Toothbrushes”
I am considering it. My X lease doesn’t end for two years, though, and to be honest, I need the extra space of the X. I might not get to eight until I replace the 3 with the Taycan.
Right…keep lying about your pretend Tesla’s you love to hate.
Do you have a blog of your seven electrics
I though an experienced auto manufacturer was supposed to be able to hit the ground running and start pumping out EVs at full production pace quickly. We are three months in and they should be making 1000 a month by now.
Yes, that was the equation, except no one was able to calculate the variables.
Though blowing smoke seems to something they have mastered quite well.
As i expected, production constraint, same would be for BMW, MB new babes, because they are not serious about EVs
Jaguar or any other brand without charging network, where customers going to charge on long trip ? or they think it’s customers problems not theirs.
EA, EVgo, ChargePoint, Blink, level twos. Make a deal with Tesla and get supercharger locations
Tesla is good but I still prefer traditional car manufacturers
