It’s great you’re enjoying the Mini SE! Tire rotations are typically recommended around 5,000-6,000 miles.

Yeah sometimes, the key fob’s signal can also cause interference if it's too close to the boot. I’d recommend checking the latch and sensor alignment, and if that doesn’t work, try resetting the fob.

Yep, it happened with my 2022 Mini Cooper SE too, I noticed a faint noise from the speakers when I powered off too. Turns out, it's likely related to the car’s electrical system or a quirk in the speaker system itself. I had a tech check it out, and they mentioned it could be related to the...

So far, the Mini Cooper SE is her favorite...The small size and quick speed makes it ideal for driving in urban areas. I love the fast charge feature

Yes this is brilliant, thanks

Thanks. I’ll look into the smart plan. Charging at night sounds like a great way to save even more.

That’s great. I’d recommend experimenting with charge times based on your energy usage patterns to maximize savings during off-peak hours.

I’ll try a reset and see if that helps restore the settings.

Hi! For the range, it could reflect driving habits, temperature, or battery health. As for charging, slower speeds near 85% are normal to prevent battery wear. Have you checked Cooper's estimates for your model?

Thans for sharing

The Mini Cooper EV's boot might need an adjustment. Yes, the rubber stoppers on the edge could be too tight. Loosening them slightly might help it close more smoothly.

Do you recommend any specific timer switches or brands that are reliable for managing the charging process without risking damage to the surge protection circuitry?

Thanks for the advice! I’ll avoid cheap extensions and consult an electrician for a proper solution. Safety’s key with high current, so upgrading to a longer tethered cable sounds like the best option.

yeah right, fixing rates has really helped with rising costs, and switching to the lower gas rate was a good call.

I’ve got a wall charger with a short tethered cable that came “free” with the car—not my first choice. It works if I back right up to the garage, but I’d prefer to park further down the drive. I’ve considered an extension lead from Amazon or eBay, but reviews are mixed. My DIY 32A welding...

Thanks, the range and safety aspects sound great, but the cost of the new model is something to consider.

The savings and peace of mind with the warranty definitely make EVs more appealing.

I am sure it is an issue with your car’s locking system, as it should stay locked when charging. You could check the settings or consult the manual for more security options.

Hmmmm EV-specific warranties can be rare, but some providers focus on battery and EV components. You can check for options tailored to electric drive systems for better coverage.

Using the footbrake occasionally helps prevent rust and seizing. Try braking lightly every few drives to keep discs and calipers healthy.
