Jaguar woos Tesla owners with $3,000 I-Pace EV discount

Jaguar I-Pace review: A luxury EV that can tackle anything
A gentleman in a field peeks into the car and asks me to raise the height of the red First Edition I-Pace I'm driving then gestures towards a few feet of water ahead of me.

Now I'm about to drive the crossover on a "surprise" off-road course and sure, why not. Let's do this.
