Another EV1 fan. Hard to believe that the EV1 is 25 years old, but still looks very futuristic. WOW! Beautiful car. I’ve never forgiven GM for crushing them. Bad call. Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. Lol. It reminds me an awful lot of the AMC Pacer my Grandmother loved so very much.
I forgot how similar to the SE the EV1 was. Two-door, a solid nose instead of a grille (well, pre-2022 SE style), mirror caps in an accent color...
Mine is at the dealer (Austin, TX)--wondering about Novadar's--also in TX.... I think I'll pick up the car tomorrow, maybe...!!
Track my MINI still shows "At the Port". My dealer has never been communicative. In all but one case I have contacted them. I had my trade re-evaluated last Friday and the Sales Manager anticipated I could take delivery on Monday, Sept 27. Hope you get yours this week!
I ordered and got a Production Number on Aug 8. It went to "Scheduled for Production" on Sept 7 and to "Production Begins" on Sept 13 then to "Body Assembly" today Sept 22. Rob
I assume that MINI of Austin has received a lot of MINIs this week...they've kept me informed and sent me a little "gift" to tell me it's coming soon (potted succulents). I figure they're processing 10 or more new MINIs this week....I have no idea, but I hope they tell me to pick it up in the next few days.
You've got that MINI of Austin/Penske magic on your side. Just spoke to the Sales Manager here in SA. My MINI is still sitting at Galveston, all paperwork complete and released but the trucking company has not picked it up yet. It "might" be in SA by Monday. Then probably one more day after that before I can pick it up. Nice touch MINI of Austin on the "green" gift.
That is awesome. Can't wait to see pictures! Mine changed to "In Transit" last night and now appears in the dealer's inventory online. Progress is a good thing!
I know there is a spreadsheet for this and I have been putting updates into it. But is it wrong for me to also post my progress here? Was in the Paint booth yesterday and today moved over "Entering the assembly line" and is now "Assembly in progress." Getting exciting! Rob
Nothing wrong with that at all Rob. Keep the updates coming. "Real" progress on anyone's build will definitely relieve the anxiety of those still waiting back in the line!
I do love this thread. The excitement of future SE owners is palpable. Probably not so much over on the Corolla forum. Sent from my iPhone using Inside EVs
Picked up my "to be named" MINI today. Very nice indeed. I was particularly impressed at the ease of providing the Navigation destination verbally. So many things to learn!!!
I got mine yesterday! Unfortunately, I have a major commitment for the next 2 weeks, so I can't dedicate much time to learning about the car. I did briefly use the navigation and think I'll really enjoy all the electronic features and settings in general.
