totally normal! The range display on the Mini Electric can vary quite a bit based on driving conditions, temperature, and recent driving style. It’s pretty common for it to show less than the full potential range, especially right after charging. The range tends to settle after a bit more...

Love the idea of showing off mods. Mini owners are the best at making their rides unique! You gotta see them in car shows and meet ups. I went all out with mine and installed a performance chip. It made adjustments and variable difference in acceleration. I also put in some LED interior lights...

70% more for your insurance? that's shocking! 😳 I've heard that a lot of other EV owners are also having their rates go up. Sometimes it feels like insurance companies are only responding to the market and the fact that repair costs are going up. I really hope you can find a better deal soon...

Totally feel you on missing that auto-dimming mirror. Really feels like it should be standard by now! 🤷‍♂️ I haven't done it on my Mini, but I've done similar swaps on other cars. If you've already got the map lights and rain sensor nearby, there's a good chance the wiring is there. Might be...

😮I’ve been looking into this too! I haven’t pulled the trigger on a dashcam yet, but I’ve seen a few people mention VIOFO models that look super sleek once installed, especially if you can get a professional to tuck the wires. Curious to know what others have found in terms of models that...
