Anyone been for a test drive in a Jaguar i-Pace yet?

All roads lead to Tesla 
I went to the launch event at Guy Salmon in Ascot in April and was told they would have a demo car in July. Put my name down for a test drive and have heard nothing since. There was a lot of interest at the event - I'm sure it wasn't just for the warm fizz and M&S canapes.
The Autocar head to head with Tesla gave it to the i-Pace by half a star which is well within the bounds of personal choice.
Fairly certain my next car will be electric but think it will be at least a year away until I change.

I got my (shortish) test drive this afternoon. It was a First Edition model, so had all the toys and a the mega wheels. With the suspension in the comfort setting I thought the ride was OK. In Dynamic mode it was definitely crashey.
I really liked it although it was lacking some of the noise drama (I do have an XFR-S, admittedly) and I can imagine that some people could find it quite one-dimensional. It does go like a scalded cat in the 'mid-range' though. I think there could be a few people getting points on their licenses because it really does go between the main speed increments very quickly and you have to watch what you are doing very carefully.
With the settings on full-regen it really is almost a one pedal car to drive.
Space wise it is fine for me (5'9") front and back with a decent boot.
Definitely looking forward to getting mine next April!
