Mini Electric

Has anyone pre-ordered a Mini electric? Looks like a cracking car and will cover my commute with the range on offer. Not unreasonably priced either. Checking in to see if anyone else has thought about them.

Very interested in test driving one. I had an F56 Cooper a few years back and the interior and drive quality was spot on. I'm yet to find a car that matches Mini interior wise for my tastes.

What does it offer over the i3S?

it is arguably much better looking and has the right badge and for most of the people who will buy it that is enough.

I think we forget just how much cars are a fashion and status statement over and above real considerations like range and performance.

It looks like an ordinary car.

Apart from the nasty looking alloys.

It doesn't cause embolisms of the eye. Probably has some level of build quality too.

You don't have to have the alloys. There are a few options. And yes absolutely, it looks like a completely normal car

There are a bunch of normal ones to choose from.
