I am withdrawing from this event today as I cannot get there in the Leaf because of chargers not working on M4...

I should have been there
My biggest concern about the car is not the price... it is with the doors. I don't know how practical they are. Could I still get in and out when some plonker has parked too close? At the moment it has to be a very narrow gap before I can't get in. Could I still get in with the same minimum gap? I doubt it from what I have seen.
Will it be a success? No idea! But I'd have one (if I had the dosh) if I can be convinced of the practicalities of those doors.

Well, perhaps I am expecting too much practicality from a £100k car.
Having said that though... the Tesla Model X has similar doors doesn't it and who knows... the Model E might have too. That would be a deal-killer for me if the Model E had those doors so I think my comments about the doors are more about upward opening doors in general perhaps rather than just this car.
