The drive was amazing, very fast and sporty, felt a a fair bit quicker than my car, a Merc C400, which is no slouch. I much preferred it to the Model S I drove a few months ago because it felt more sporty inside and it has a very nice Jag interior with lots of wood and contrast-stitched leather. It has tons of room for passengers (2-row), but the trunk isn't huge, nowhere near as big as a Model S. I really think Tesla are in trouble now. Hope this will be my next ride!

I-Pace is getting great reviews indeed. However, it will do nothing to Tesla's chances to succeed. Tesla never planned to be profitable off S or X. Their future depends on Model 3. I-Pace is priced much higher than any but the top level 3.
