Default Sudden Electrical Gremlins – 2017 XE R-Sport

Hey folks,
Looking for some insight before I take the plunge at the dealership.

I’ve got a 2017 Jaguar XE R-Sport (2.0T, around 65k miles). Just recently, I’ve started experiencing a wave of electrical oddities — nothing catastrophic, but enough to get me nervous.
  • Infotainment screen sometimes boots up blank or lags badly
  • Rear camera flickers or shows "Camera Unavailable" intermittently
  • TPMS warning popped up briefly, then disappeared
  • Interior lights seem to flicker for a split second after unlocking
Battery is less than a year old (AGM), and I did a hard reset (disconnect and reconnect battery), which helped for a day or two… then it came back.

Is this a known grounding issue? BCM? Or are we talking full-on Jaguar gremlins here?

Anyone dealt with something similar? Hoping it's not the start of a slow electrical unraveling.

Appreciate any ideas before I let the dealer run up the bill.
