Jaguar delays select I-Pace all-electric SUV deliveries, citing ‘prioritization’ efforts.

Jaguar delays some I-Pace all-electric SUV deliveries, automaker says it is ‘prioritizing’
SHARE

This year, Jaguar is introducing its inaugural all-electric vehicle, the I-PACE, which is poised to be one of the most highly anticipated electric vehicles of the year. But many homeowners are now expressing frustration as they’re experiencing delays in their deliveries, with some waiting an additional several months for their possessions to arrive.

The dispute centers on whether the shortage stems from “manufacturing bottlenecks” or “order prioritization”.

At Electrek, we’ve been eager about the I-Tempo since its unveiling, and our enthusiasm only grew after putting it to the test last month.

Given the overwhelming interest in their latest model, Jaguar’s assertion of a high demand seems entirely plausible.

Pioneering customers who pre-ordered Britain’s inaugural all-electric vehicle were assured a priority delivery by year-end when they reserved their models early on.

Some Ioniq 5 owners have contacted Electrek, citing significant delays in their deliveries, with their local Jaguar dealers attributing the issue to manufacturing setbacks.

Despite addressing concerns with Jaguar, the company remains committed to commencing production by late summer, albeit acknowledging that certain customers are facing setbacks due to prioritization.

While prioritization may have a significant impact in certain situations.

A UK-based reservation holder disclosed to Electrek that they had placed a £1,000 deposit on March 5th, 2018. At the time, we lacked detailed information about the car, yet the salesman was transparent and well-informed; he explained that placing a deposit promptly would secure a 2018 model.

When In could revisit his local dealership, he was extended an invitation to explore the automotive offerings firsthand, specifically configuring his desired model: a vibrant metallic pink I-Tempo SE, equipped with a standard metallic roof, conventional coil suspension, enhanced Matrix LED lights, heads-up display, and comprehensive driver assistance bundle.

Initially, he was allocated a construction start date of August 31 and a supply deadline to the vendor for September 28, 2018, in accordance with the original agreement.

On July 20, the deadline for altering the order arrived, but he declined to do so; instead, he contacted the seller to confirm everything was in order, only to be informed of a “manufacturing delay” and receive a revised delivery date of February 6 – a staggering four months beyond his original schedule.

We gathered insights from potential customers who have ordered an I-Tempo SUV, expecting delivery within a timeframe of three to four months.

Jaguar confirms that initial customer deliveries of its electric vehicle are now slated to begin “late this summer”.

“nonetheless

The automaker failed to verify prioritizations, yet none of the delayed orders pertain to the initial version, priced from $86,895, a significant increase over the standard model’s starting point of $70,495.

According to a reliable source, Electrek was informed that Jaguar’s supply of Matrix LED headlights has reached a literal constraint, prompting the company to prioritize orders for non-first edition vehicles and potentially redirect them to meet demand for first edition cars, which are 2019 model-year models.

Jaguar has announced that it will outsource the assembly of its inaugural all-electric vehicle to a third-party manufacturer. Magna Steyr assembles the I-PACE for Jaguar Land Rover at its manufacturing facility in Graz, Austria. Manufacturing for customers is expected to commence in the near future.

The highly anticipated I-Tempo has confirmed our long-held suspicions: it will join the ranks of manufacturing-constrained electric vehicles, with demand significantly outpacing production capacity for both Jaguar and its manufacturing partner.

Delays in production have emerged as a major challenge for Jaguar’s I-PACE, with the automaker struggling to meet surging demand for its high-end variant, much like the initial model, prompting the need to reschedule multiple orders.

Unlike the Model 3’s rollout, where Tesla started with the premium version, the current situation won’t mirror that.

As Tesla ramps up production to meet growing demand, the automotive industry will be closely watching how Jaguar responds if the I-PACE becomes as ubiquitous as expected.

While the British manufacturer hasn’t been particularly prolific in terms of output, it has consistently produced more than 100,000 vehicles annually.

The production volume of the I-Tempo has reportedly surged, with estimates ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 units annually.

As Waymo has already placed orders for 20,000 units over the next few years, it’s crucial that Jaguar steps up its production capacity to meet the substantial demand from partners and customers alike?
