EVGO buys Plugshare, Rivian ABRP .. seems we have a trend(s) (sort of) forming! Guessing maybe Rivian owners would have free access to the subscription version of ABRP or something like that vs restricting App features to Rivian vs public.

Not sure if posted already somewhere else but also does not add much re info!

Apparently they were going to give it to me in their early 2021 version of Volcano Grey Metallic on the configurator :)

In part why we are waiting on the Mini SE 2024/5 edition - despite still being a small vehicle, it has more 'presence' imo on the road vs the 500 and here in Houston that truly is a concern - the Fiat too close to a 'SmartCar' size for us - that and as mentioned, my wife's a diehard Mini fan :).

Thx - guessed this might be the setup and indeed if that light in Normal prob quite acceptable. I've poked around a bit on future Mini SE reviews/specs but cannot recall actually if BMW has a 'coasting' capability (i.e. region off) built in? Don't wart to turn this thread into a Mini vs 500...

Man I both hate and love when they do this - hate the fact I'll almost certainly never be able to afford such a car and love it because it's' ridiculously awesome :)!! I'll go drool somewhere else now.....

Profess ignorance as actually do not know if our Porsche batteries are LG sourced (realize they setup CellForce and also use Draxlmaier Gp. to manufacture but do they still source LG tech/materials)? Obviously with VW named there is a chance that they are? Fairly sure someone on the forum...

Great info - thx for sharing - saw one in Germany on our visit a week or so ago and indeed stepped up the design imo too. We are still holding out for the next gen Mini E as the wife is a die hard fan and I actually prefer the aesthetic over the Fiat also - but never say never :)! I may...

Having since been up close and personal with one I can readily say you couldn’t pay me to have one - some specs def interesting but Taycan design just in a different league.

Interesting - I'm guessing those that focus on software function (probably quite good) over (external) form!

New owner sent me a pic of my prior M4 convertible at Red Rocks - def pining a bit for this car - 8 years, a daily driver and not a single issue (seriously!). Design-wise light years ahead of current crop. In Houston: Now in Colorado:

OMG that is truly BUGLY (butt ugly :)) - really enjoyed the design ethic of my prior M cars (other than bangleisation!) but agree entirely they are now lost to the (Chinese market) wind!!

No, you specifically addressed the aesthetics interior and exterior so entirely on point for me - I too have read extensively on their engineering and battery design innovations etc which indeed are impressive but the other has to be present for me to ever consider it as an option and a number...

Good to get an unbiased viewpoint on this car - have not bothered viewing as TBH I also cannot get past the exterior but this review puts a nail in it for me! Thx for sharing.

Great car and a classic color choice - ours - I am both embarrassed and amazed to say - is now just on 18 yrs old (2004) and still goes like a champ with next to nothing but basic service done in all those years. My wife won't let go until the 2024 electric comes along :) These pics from 4+...

Yeah this is my feeling too - I want to like the look of this car, it is an amazing piece of tech, but the design just falls short for me - the 2023 optional stealth 'matte' roof top look helps re color combos but it's the overall exterior design that for me can't match the Porsche. This...

Forums can be both the best and the worst in respect obtaining useful and accurate information :). Invariably there is a bias towards folk reporting issues vs. the usual majority of those that just drive the car w/o issue - my experience def closer to the latter. For a better sense look at...

We will almost def get a new electric Mini Cooper (S) when it arrives on 2024, hopefully sooner, simply because she is besotted with Mini’s :), but I get it! Other than that could not be happier with the Taycan as it is right now for all the reasons others have stated.

BTW, cool bike indeed - zero to 60 in 2.6 secs is not exactly a slouch :) Reminds me that I prob need to sell my aging BMW GS 1200 soon!

Nope but will try to be first in the cue for the 2024 Mini Cooper S if it ever gets built!! :) Wife has the ICE version and insists on wanting to replace it with the EV - don't blame her - just worried re supply chain as to when that thing will (if) ever get built and suspect when it does, the...
