21:27 Good advice, but someone has to stand up for the Mini Cooper SE. :) Mini Cooper SE is so much fun!!!!! It's GREAT on the corners, surprisingly comfortable, has more range then most of the other options, is pretty reliable (one year in, and 20,000 miles, no service visits except for tires), all sorted out (evertthing works like its supposed to), and feels rock solid (solid door thunk) and again SO MUCH FUN!
I think the Polestar 2 design is timeless, just like the i3, but now the P2 comes with 500km real world range here in Australia and 200kw charging with 300hp RWD power. Just lovely!
The MY 21 and newer also has faster 11 kw AC charging and slightly improved DC fast charging. The software update to pivi pro is great with much improved dynamics, SOTA updates.
We just bought a used 2022 Tesla Model 3 from Tesla CPO, 33,000 miles, FSD, extended warranty for $25,700 USD before tax. We already had purchased the same model in 2022, now with 65,000 miles and have had no issues. One weird fact, the price to insure the used 2022 we bought was 20% higher than the new one we had purchase two years earlier. And we've had no claims or speeding tickets.
The answer to "Should I get an i-Pace" is always"NO". Speaking as a former i-Pace owner, it'll need service regularly...and notice that I said it would "need service", not that it would be "in for service". This is cuz getting service is so hard on a Jaguar because every other Jaguar is also in for service, so you will never be able to get an appointment. So the warranty doesn't add much value.
I 1,000% agree!! My husband had an older Jaguar and he hated how unreliable it was and always in the shop! Just because it’s an EV that doesn’t mean it will be better than their ICE vehicles. Thank you for your story!
Story is no different with the Etron. The car is prone to electrical and drive malfunctions...requiring a replacement front engine and battery modules wait time is over 5 weeks. Loaners are impossible to find. Check out Audi forums for this and see what I mean. Mine is with the dealer right now waiting for parts. Without mentioning this, this is automotive malpractice!
Only thing I don’t like about this podcast is they go more by looks and not by practicality for customers! I sure hope people are looking at reliability of say Jaguars and BMW’s! I would NEVER buy any of those makes because they are “Affordable” but know that there would be maintenance on both when these “deals” are probably out of warranty. My husband loves his BMW 5 series but says I should never get a used BMW if out of warranty.

Good morning gentleman
Good morning to you, Jim!
A great episode guys!
Great Idea, but no way can you get a lightning used for 50k unless its a XLT, There are some Mack E's for 59k EV's are expensive in Canada!
I wasn't sure how the Canadian pricing was. I see used Lariat here with the ER for low to mid 50's. That's a super deal.
Jaguar I-Pace 💙
I think the Jaguar is a screaming Dale specially with that warranty my warranty for my E tron $3000 4 years

It's a really competitive product now, spec-wise.

The last person should get a Mach e.
That would work. I'm just not sure if they feel it's luxurious enough. It sounds like they are looking for something upscale a bit
Agree, I’m hoping Lincoln makes a Mach e version in 2025 with the charge port in the “correct” position.
Thanks lads. Food for thought.

I had an Ipace for a 3 year lease. Great car! Only 1 problem and the dealer fixed it and provided a loaner waiting for the part.
Ontario = $0 incentives (since the wicked Tories got involved)
