That's your personal opinion and that is great. Just don't generalize your views on the rest of us.
I know rational / objectivity is out the window, with cars in the pricebracket of 70k+. I get people wanting to justify their purchase to themselves and other but Tesla is objectively the better car and value proposition. It's the reason they are benchmark.
But you are generalising your views on the rest of us and trying to justify your purchase.
I drove a Tesla s 90D and loved the drive. The car isn't anything special looking, lower to the ground than I like, poor quality interior and has reliability issues.
I drove the I-Pace and loved the drive. The car is pretty stylish and I especially love the front end. It sits a bit higher which I like, the interior is vastly superior.
I have an SUV if I want to transport larger items and my current daily driver (Audi Q3) has less room than the I-Pace without issue.
My longest trips are to an airport around 120miles away and if I was to go further then I would factor in stops. I don't drive a long distance for work. It's actually been a few years since I have driven further than 200 miles in one day and it would be an adventure.
I have a Jaguar dealer within 30 miles. The closest Tesla Dealer is around 90 miles but the one I have been to and would have used is around 120 miles in the direction I would normally travel.
The Jaguar is cheaper and has a better quality feel.
Can't you see why I would favour the I-pace?
I never understand why people would go onto a car forum for a certain car and try and tell them they are all making a mistake and should buy the car that you have.
