OK after literally one day with the car the Center Displays (both of them) went out. Looked on the European Jaguar Forum and folks started reporting this earlier this month: https://www.ipaceforums.co.uk/viewto...cked+out#p9398

Be aware that initial fixes didn't take suggesting, if you have this problem, the dealer should do a couple of test drives to make sure the fix takes. If it were just software this would be fixible remotely, I'm guessing some faulty control units made it into cars recently. I'll bet they either changed suppliers or that they did some kind of in-line update that caused problems. My car is going on a flatbed back to Jaguar Portland (who has been really helpful about resolving this, nice folks). Hopefully I'll have the car back by week end.

Be aware that Jaguar Roadside Assistance has issues with our VIN numbers (it will take a number of times and the full VIN to identify the car), apparently doesn't have the right information about towing in Portland (their screens come up blank but according to the dealership we get up to 500 miles), but the folks are really nice and I figure this will give me a nice winter story to tell. (I'm off on the road for the next few days anyway and the dealer agreed to put on my Snow tires which will save me a trip to he tire shop, so, assuming this gets fixed I'm good). I'll post updates as I get them.

 

 

yikes ! no issues here. but good to know.

 

Fingers crossed for you, and hope your dealer is closer than mine is. 160 miles made this a PITA.

 

Just got word from the dealer in Portland (they've been great) that the problem was in software. If true this should have been fixable remotely but without the center screens, I can't initiate a patch and Jaguar seems to not want to patch remotely. Given this car apparently is running embedded Windows I'm guessing the concerns surrounding the software update screen Windows has is giving them pause. I do expect a future software update will be better able to address this. But with computers screen failures are always problematic even when they are caused by driver or OS updates. They tell me I should get the car back again next week as they wanted to address a few more things and given the EU forum indicated the problem could recur they are making sure it doesn't.

I'd shared my I-Pace issue with the Sports Car club I belong to, they have a Tesla X that has been in the shop for 3 months because of an inability to get parts. So it really could be a ton worse.

 

Update, still don't have car back, once fixed I requested the dealer keep it for a couple of days to make sure the display stays fixed. It didn't, they are now working with Jaguar to see if they can craft a perminent fix. (Don't want the car going back and forth to the dealership every other week given the trip goes from 160 miles to something like 250 miles this time of year). When you pick up your cars you might ask if the dealer has checked for this problem as it is a PTA to deal with from home.

 

My center displays just gave out tonight. Tried turning the car off and on several times but no luck.
Guess I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow.

I have the Genius walk through Friday so may wait for the rep to show up and discuss this issue....

Will send an update if I find a fx.

I'm told the patch to fix this is due tomorrow so fingers crossed for both of us.

 

Patch took yesterday, car was delivered back to me today and is working fine. Given this was a software issue everyone else will likely get the patch with the next over the air update. Whew...

 

Wonder if this is why my First Edition has been delayed since 12/5. Dealer was told that Jaguar was at the Brunswick port in GA since 12/12, but that they were waiting for a "software" update.

 

That would be my guess, I'll bet they held delivories until this patch was in place. It looks like a prior patch was the problem. Mine continues to work fine but I know they had issues getting the car to accept the patch. There is a clear learning curve to doing over the air patching right. Apparently/sadly Jaguar is still at the front end of that curve. Good news is that the eventual fix is all software and process so it isn't a design issue.

 

 

I just experienced this yesterday.
Powered on the vehicle, backed it out of the garage and noticed the center displays were dark.
Turned it off and waited a few minutes. Powered back on, center displays were still dark.
I really needed to be somewhere so I started driving. Halfway down my street the displays came on.

When I returned home I connected the I-Pace to my WiFi but the firmware updates screen indicated no new updates were available.
Is this something only the dealer can update?

 

Yes, I think so. Mine had to be patched by the dealer, at least . . .
