So I was lucky to do a test drive including taking the car home. But when I tried to charge the ipace at a Fastned supercharger (max 175kw) at two location I received the message "communicatiefout" and charging stopped.

Anybody successful charged at a supercharger?

What kind of super charger was it ?
U can't charge on Tesla superchargers.

I have read that sometimes you better call the operator and ask to help. Most of the time it should be a communication issue between car and charger. In all of the test reviews there were no issues with superchargers (not Tesla superchargers indeed)

IT was a fastned ccs charger on the a2 highway. Nieuwegein and Breukelen . For sure not tesla

Hmmm... Breukelen is a 175KW fast charger, the newer ones. Breukelen is Allegro if I'm not mistaken. A 50KW charger.

Demo cars are not production like, I've read supercharging was limited on the portugal fleet.

Its a 1 month old car so post pre production

This is true, spoke to Jag at 2 different locations and both said demo cars were limited on what they could charge on. In fact I'm sure some were only type 2 and the ccs didn't work at all!

Can the demo cars be upgraded?

Need to be careful here ... pre-production cars can't be upgraded and will be destroyed once they are replaced with a production car - told this by Jag at Brentwood.
Demo cars that are a production model won't bees upgrading.
