On the Road

edit

I saw the 'prototype vehicle' (it was marked as such) on the M42 today, wearing a 67 plate. It looks awesome. mentioning that it's on the road would count as OR I suppose? Stub Mandrel (talk) 20:09, 28 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

What type of car is it?

I've started a discussion on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles about this. -- DeFacto (talk). 10:28, 8 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Problem: The name of the car is actually I-PACE not I-Pace.

edit

I learned this directly from a senior JLR employee, and if you visit any of Jaguar's properties, the spelling is consistent end-to-end. I think I should throw a global search-and-replace on the article and make a new one under the correct name and turn this into a redirect. (Never done that before, but how hard can it be?) (Yes I agree that I-Pace is much nicer typographically, but that's the way it is.) Does anyone disagree? Tim Bray (talk) 22:53, 26 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

@TimBray: the MOS says basically that, unless it's an acronym or the letters are said individually, not to, regardless of how the trademark owner prefers to write it - see MOS:TMRULES. It's a similar case for BMW Mini. -- DeFacto (talk). 23:07, 26 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the clarification. FYI, I've now added a note to the article saying that the name is "stylised as I-PACE" - similar to what was done for BMW Mini. Ross Finlayson (talk) 23:39, 26 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Opening Paragraph "British automotive company"

edit

"The Jaguar I-Pace is a battery-electric crossover SUV produced by British automotive company Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) under their Jaguar marque." This opening paragraph is bulls**t, Jaguar is a wholly Indian owned company, referring to it in the opening paragraph as a "British" is incorrect and misleading. By all means play on the British heritage of Jaguar, British design (if so) or even British manufacture / production (though historical car production is hardly something to brag about). Perhaps Jaguar marketing can play with it's branding, to customers who think they are buying into history - Wikipedia should not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.109.73 (talk) 09:07, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Lunacats, can you give details of which parts of the article prompted you to add this tag please. -- DeFacto (talk). 16:53, 3 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Production dates

edit

An IP editor, User:90.186.224.104, continues to insert 2024 as the end date of production. However, this source and others indicate the I-Pace will be in production until December 2024. As it is only July, the vehicle is still in production. Also, Template:Infobox automobile indicates that "The end date should remain "present" until production has ended." To stop the IP edit warring with me and User:DeFacto, I've created this topic for discussion. Bahooka (talk) 21:03, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree, we cannot enter a production end date until production has ended. We do not know when it will be until it has happened. -- DeFacto (talk). 21:13, 21 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
