Hello,

Just joined this very informative forum. First Mini, but will be our 6th plug in vehicle. Placed a deposit recently for a Mini SE iconic. I was told there was less than a 50% chance it will arrive this year, as the factory is closed in August. Delivery next year is okay though and I'm hoping I can get a heated steering wheel, but not a deal breaker.

Hope everyone enjoys the remaining weeks of summer !

Welcome to the forum! What other PHEVs have you owned?
Did you consider any other vehicles before going with the Mini SE?

Thanks for the welcome ! Previous/current plug in cars were:
1 - 2012 Nissan Leaf (sold for Tesla)
2 - 2013 Honda Fit EV (lease expired)
3 - 2016 Chevrolet Volt (trading in when Mini Cooper SE arrives)
4 - 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance (sold for Taycan Cross Turismo)
5 - 2022 Porsche Taycan 4 Cross Turismo
6 - 2023 Mini Cooper SE when it arrives, most likely in 2023

Really didn't consider anything else. We were looking for a small EV that can be parked in the smaller parking spaces of our local Food Co-Op and medical offices.

Did look at the Bolt last year though, but was too much like our Volt in terms of build quality and I did not like the seats. Camera for the rear view mirror was nice though...
