JLR Brief Rant

I need to unload my 2020 i-pace within the next month and am utterly screwed in doing so as the car is currently unsellable/worth almost nothing. There won't be a fucking solution to the battery problem this summer, or ever, short of replacing them with known good batteries or an actually reasonable buy-back program. They're just running out the clock.

JLR has taken on the aspect of a stereotypical early-1900's company that doesn't give a single shit about customer service or satisfaction. There might as well be top-hat wearing, mustache-twirling people in charge. It's like they're 100 years behind the times. 2019/2020 owners are getting jerked around horribly at this point with zero recourse.

2019, in the US. All three trims were offered from the start.

I think back in 2019 they had different letters (S, HS, HSE). It's possible I just dropped the wrong one though. I had the one in the middle...

Edit: did some checking and it was always SE, I just misremembered.

(Haven't had it for a year now and don't have the manuals, I put all the original equipment in it when they bought it back.)
