We're now at 47 miles on the car and a little over 50% battery power left. Of course this includes a lot of hot rod starts and zipping on and off the freeway. Love it, Love it, Love it. The braking takes some getting use to but I'm getting better. Unless someone stops suddenly in front of you you very rarely need to touch the actual brake pedal. Most of our 30 miles since yesterday have been around the Belmont Shore area where there are lots of people walking around. So far zero folks have noticed that the car is anything special. There are tons of MINI Coopers in our neighborhood and without the stickers on the side, it just looks like a regular MINI. We've ordered the stickers and it will be interesting to see if anything changes once they're applied.
Some folks have asked if the car cover in the post below comes with the MINI E and unfortunately not. It might be available for sale however.
Looking forward to hearing from other folks as the cars appear to be rolling out on a daily basis.
More to come!

I was looking over the manual for the MINI E and it says the car has auto-folding side mirrors. I was told at the NY Auto Show that it wouldn't. Can you verify this one way or the other?

Hi Stu, no auto-folding side mirrors on our car. They do turn in manually. I grabbed one with both hands and it turns pretty easily.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Thought so. My guess is that most of the power accessories mentioned in the manual were dropped. I had a feeling that heated mirrors were too much to hope for, too. The good news is that I might be able to go a few more miles on a charge.

BTW, are you paying for the stickers?
