A warranty companies worst EV-nightmare!
I’ve had this Jaguar I-Pace for about 4 years after buying it for £38k as a company car for a member of my team when it was nearly new. It’s now worth all of £9k, but I’ve just had to spend £4600 on a new converter, charging port part and auxiliary battery!! I can’t remember the last time the bill was HALF the car’s value!
The sad thing is these drive and look so well! I’m just in two minds now if we should keep it as a cheap EV or move it on…
Santi told Lewis on the radio that you are faster than Charles in the corners, you're only losing on the straights. When you look at the data, Lewis had absolutely no power there to fight.
If we go back to China, when both cars had power, we saw what Lewis did that day.
@MotorsportiveHQ Even some team could optimize the battery charging deployment that could overtake others in the corners, it would look synthenic. Us fans wouldn't understand most racing motions on first sight.
@slergang12 @SkySportsF1 Not to mention the suspension is linked to the gearbox cartridge which could also give a lot of performance and could change geometry according to chassis or aero dynamic needs. A HUGE innovation that other teams only just discovered it decades ago!
@GazzettaFerrari If those mediocre engineers try to act like they know a lot about real world racing or they don't even think real world driving is important, they're an absolute laughingstock in the racing industry.
@GazzettaFerrari@Auto_Racer_it To be brutally honest, Lewis had no alternatives already when he left Mercedes for Ferrari. Mercedes and everyother profit-driven team see him as a picked on target. Only arrogance-driven team like Ferrari would sign him and screw him at the same time for vanity project reasons.
@FanaticsFerrari Thousands of ways to screw your own driver over. Car guys with slightly good eyes can see what the prancing donkey's doing. They are sabotaging their own name also. Everyone knows Ferrari no longer represents victory decades ago, it represents stupidity, weakness and arrogance.
