The 2024 Jaguar I-Pace EV400 (20-inch tires) comes with 246 miles of EPA range, 100 kW fast charging and a 85 kWh battery, and a do-not-drive recall is in play, so VIN status comes before everything else.
Score read
A 65/100 makes this a records-first inspection. Do not let the composite hide this split: software and driver-assist score is 89/100, while range and efficiency score is 37/100. On Reddit, owners keep flagging the same two issues: range and battery degradation. Documented completion matters more than the recall count itself.
Price context
This trim started from $72,000 new. Used examples have come down since launch, but pricing varies by miles, condition, and how the model is moving right now; pull a current KBB Fair Purchase, an Edmunds True Market Value, or an active dealer listing for this exact trim, and anchor your offer there. Walk if the seller will not move off new-car-style pricing.
Who this is for
✓ Good for
- ★ Weekend driver Performance, fun, low mileage
✗ Avoid if you are a
- ⏱ Daily commuter ≤50 mi/day, predictable charging
- ☷ Family hauler 3+ kids, cargo, towing
- ↦ Road tripper Long trips, needs DC fast network
Gotchas
- Serviceable Recall paperwork has to match the exact VIN.
Mitigation Use NHTSA and the automaker lookup, then require repair records instead of a verbal promise.
- Built in Range is the easy place to overbuy this trim (37/100).
Mitigation Check your commute, winter margin, and fast-charge plan before you assume the EPA number fits your use.
- Verify Current market pricing is not confirmed well enough for this trim.
Mitigation Compare KBB, J.D. Power, and live listings for the same trim before treating price as a buying signal.
Pre-purchase inspection
- 1 Run the exact VIN through NHTSA and the automaker recall lookup before discussing price.
- 2 Compare the dashboard range estimate with the EPA 246-mile rating after a full charge.
- 3 Confirm how much of the 8-year/100,000-mile battery warranty remains and whether it transfers.
- 4 If road trips matter, run a short DC fast-charge session and watch whether speed tapers normally.
- 5 Map your normal highway route and winter margin against the EPA range before you treat it as a road-trip car.

Source & disclaimer
Dealers make ~$10,449 on the average car loan.
After the price is set, the finance manager runs four plays to rebuild margin. Every buyer without a pre-approval is a target. Here's exactly what they run — and what stops each one.
78% of dealer loans carry a hidden +1.13% markup above what the lender actually charges. You never see it — it's buried in the contract. · CFPB
Dealer must match or beat your lender — they can't add margin invisibly. The markup play is dead on arrival.
Once you answer, they stretch the term to hit your number. Median result: $4K less off the price, 12 more months on the loan. · Industry avg
Financing is done. Only the sale price is on the table — and the dealer knows it.
Back-office F&I profit averages $1,975/vehicle, up 8.5% YoY. These products exist — but dealer markup is 4–10x what you'd pay elsewhere. · Dealership Guy
Dealer GAP runs $500–1K. Your insurer sells the same coverage for $100–250 over 5 years. Now you know.
"Your loan fell through — come re-sign." This pulls your APR up +5% on average. It's legal. It works because you've already driven the car home. · Ctr for Responsible Lending
A lender commitment letter means the deal is final. "Pending dealer approval" doesn't apply. You can't be yo-yo'd.
That's 19 months of your car payment — handed to the dealer's finance department for nothing.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation to use it — but you'll walk in with all the leverage.
Pre-approval is a soft credit inquiry — no score impact. FICO treats all auto-loan hard pulls within 14 days as one, so you can still shop rates at the dealer.

How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? On multiple occasions, the vehicle crossed solid white lines during active traffic, made illegal turning maneuvers at intersections without yielding properly, and consistently camped in the passing lane at speeds below the flow of traffic. This forced other vehicles to pass on the right and created unpredictable merge scenarios that increased collision risk for surrounding drivers. Did emergency crews respond to the incident? No emergency crews responded to these specific violations, though they represent ongoing safety concerns during routine operation. Were there any warning lamps, messages, sounds, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning indicators were present. The vehicle operated normally from a system status perspective while committing the traffic violations. The illegal maneuvers occurred without any passenger notification or system alert. Was there a collision or impact with another vehicle, cyclist, pedestrian or stationary object? No collision occurred, but the illegal maneuvers created near-miss scenarios with other vehicles forced to react to unpredictable behavior. Was there a traffic violation? Yes. Multiple traffic violations including crossing solid white lines, illegal intersection maneuvers, and improper lane usage (camping in the passing lane).

We told a driver with Waymo months ago when he was mapping the pickup route for the Waymos NOT to have them come in our very busy driveway. He did not do as we requested and from that point on they have been coming into our driveway which is private property. If you could please advise them not to enter our driveway that would be great. I have witnessed them beep their horns repeatedly when there's traffic in the driveway which disturbs our guests and they've also backed out of the entrance of our driveway on several occasions which is very dangerous. They used to pickup on the street which was working out just fine before they started coming into our private property and we would like them to go back to picking them up there please! Thank you!

It almost drove into a semi truck with trailer making a turn. It then stopped despite multiple cars behind it and obviously having a green light. It was also near an intersection and if things were busy this might have caused an accident. It was the smart and calm defensive driving of multiple people and the truck driver that prevented an accident. It shouldn’t have to require that and my city streets shouldn’t be used as an experiment using vehicles that could be deadly. NHTSA should not wait for a great tragedy and loss of life to take action on these vehicles with nobody inside them. I have the video of it stopping for no reason but only after the incident began.

I rode a Waymo for about 5 miles in Burlingame, CA today. On [XXX] near the intersection of [XXX], at approximately [XXX] on [XXX], I witnessed a safety incident. The car was driving west on [XXX]. The road is one lane in each direction. The right-hand lane was closed for road work. As my car approached the lane closure, a road worker waved at my car to indicate it to stop. This was because only one lane was open to traffic and was being used for alternating two-way traffic. The car did not stop or even slow down much and shifted to the left (oncoming) lane and continued driving. Thankfully there were no cars coming in the opposite direction but this was a very unsafe maneuver. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Waymo ran a red light at [XXX] on [XXX] in Santa Monica, CA. It was traveling probably 20-25 mph (less than the speed limit) and could have easily stopped after the light turned yellow at [XXX]. Instead it continued through the intersection while the light turned red. I was a pedestrian waiting to cross and was delayed by the Waymo. I could have been hit if I entered with the walk signal. Please see video here: [XXX]. I reported this to Waymo. They refused to acknowledge the mistake or explain what specific actions they were taking in response. While this situation was not exceptionally dangerous, that was partly because I took caution. A human driver may slightly misjudge this sort of situation, but I cannot understand why an autonomous vehicle would do it. It was not a challenging driving situation for a computer to solve if it is generally trying to operate within the rules. I am concerned that Waymo is cheating a bit on red lights on purpose to save time. I strongly support autonomous vehicles for safety, but they only help if companies take the rules seriously.

The contact called about failures with 2024 Jaguar I-Pace vehicles. The contact stated that on four separate occasion had experienced failures with Waymo powered Jaguar vehicles. The contact stated that while exiting a one-way circle, a Waymo vehicle started driving towards her vehicle in the wrong direction. The Waymo vehicle eventually stopped right before crashing into the bumper of the contact's vehicle. The contact then stated that the Waymo reversed independently and parked in the corner of the circle. The contact stated that in another incident, a Waymo vehicle failed to stop at a 4-way intersection and drove through stop sign. In addition, the contact stated that while driving in her lane at a slow speed, a Waymo vehicle entered the contact's lane and cut the contact off. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at a moderate rate of speed, another Waymo vehicle stopped far beyond the stop sign line and was in the contact's lane. The contact was forced to drive around the Waymo vehicle to avoid crashing into the vehicle. The contact expressed grave concerns about these vehicles and believed that these vehicles were a danger to public safety.

What Owners Are Saying
"for context: pre-pandemic i used to drive 800 miles a week, mostly motorway, twice a month and go on 300+ miles holidays a couple of times a year. i don't drive fast. #2· Aug 20, 2021 I wrote this in another thread here recently in reply to a report of car review accuracy (or the lack of it): > Jeremy Harris said: > > Don't want to take as gospel whatever the professional reviewers spout forth. IMHO. I switched from having owned a Tesla Model 3 LR for 16 months, to a new I-Pace earlier this year, fully expecting to see a major range reduction. In reality it's no big deal. I've never seen less that about 220 miles, and usually get around 240 miles. Sure that's a fair bit less that the ~280 miles I used to get from the Model 3 LR, but not enough to make the slightest bit of difference to the way we use the car or places we stop for a break and a charge at all. > > To get under 200 miles you'd need to have a pretty heavy right foot, and spend a f"
"As another example, I charged last night, car was showing 252 miles range when I went out this morning. Drove a round trip of 46 miles, mix of B roads and dual carriageway A roads and got home with 224 miles range remaining. Didn't dawdle, apart from being in a traffic jam going past Stonehenge, and actually booted it quite hard once the A303 was clear of traffic again. That's pretty typical for this time of year, with the aircon on and not being particularly careful to save energy. #3· Aug 20, 2021 I've had mine for nearly two years. Real world actual driving range is about 240 miles summer and 180 winter. Charging. Home charging at 7kW or if you have three-phase available, 11kW. Public charging on rapids (DC) - the very best you'll ever see is about 105kW that's only for a short time under ideal conditions (warm battery, very low SoC). More likely to be about 80. Tails off rapidly as the SoC rises. It's a strategy to manage the battery for long servcie life (good) but it's a pain on long"
"Jaguar Issues Fourth Battery Fire Recall. Park Your I-Pace Outside. Again. # Another 2,278 I-Pace EVs face battery overheating risks. Owners must charge outside, limit to 90 percent, and park away from buildings. The permanent fix doesn't exist yet. Jaguar Land Rover issued its fourth battery fire recall for the I-Pace on February 5, 2026, affecting 2,278 electric SUVs from the 2020 and 2021 model years. The high-voltage battery packs may overheat and catch fire due to folded anode tabs that can cause short circuits, according to NHTSA recall number 26V067. This recall replaces three previous I-Pace fire recalls dating back to 2019. Any vehicle repaired during those earlier campaigns must be serviced again under this new action. "Vehicles have experienced thermal overload which may show as smoke or fire, that may occur in the high voltage traction battery pack," the NHTSA filing states, per reporting from CarComplaints, The EV Report, and [Fox Business]("

"#5· Mar 21, 2022 Insideevs must really hate Jaguar Land Rover for not advertising on their site. They publish this crap "70 mph range test" testing it unlike any other such test they've published for other cars (especially their beloved T cars). The idiot writer is unaware that the range boost update actually came out for the 2019-2020 models so it will be in the 2022s by default. Jaguar stated that they did not recertify the new range with the EPA due to the costs involved. I also saw a different review of the 2022 I-PACE that was mostly positive. The odd thing was a statement that it has a EPA range of 222 miles. The 2022 Jaguar I-Pace Is Still an EV Worth Considering (msn.com) Fact check: The EPA has not published any range figure for the 2022 I-PACE. ["
"> Ayepace said: > > Insideevs must really hate Jaguar Land Rover for not advertising on their site. > > > Click to expand... I'm not sure JLR has advertised the I-Pace on any EV sites in the USA recently. I don't think I've seen more than 1 or 2 ads about I-Pace this year and I read all the EV media I can get my hands on. One could also question JLR's judgement in providing a tester with 22" wheels to a man who planned to do a 70 mph range test..... That said, they actually discussed the I-Pace on their podcast a few weeks ago and had good things to say about it. Namely, the handling, styling, fit and finish were all fantastic. Their main beefs were charging speed and efficiency, which I think are very valid points. My I-Pace gets 2.98 mi/kwh (based on 253 miles range and 84.7kwh usable) which is not much better than our F150 Lightning arriving next month that will get 2.44 mi/kwh (based on 320 miles range and 131 kwh usable). The charging curve was outclassed when it was only competing with the E-Tron SUV and it's only gotten worse. I still love my I-Pace and don't see myself trading it in"
