She is here!!!! Fun drive of 4 lane highway driving in DC getting used to regenerative breaking lol, but she is a blast to drive
I hope you grabbed enough so your first drive didn't have to be in Green+ mode. Your dealer failed you if they didn't plug it in as soon as it came off the truck.
Mine was at 100% when I took delivery, and the app shows that they added 6 KWh at the dealership, so these are coming off the ship with a pretty full charge.
This thread is like a good movie, and we're at the happy resolution part before the credits. Love the different specs, which all look so good! I realized I never posted a proper pic of Ralph, so here you go:
It was at 100%, they charged it overnight for me. I ended up not really needing the 10% I put in, got home with 20%, but driving 75 on the highway with a/c on I just wanted a little safety net. Love it. That punch at 30mph in sport mode feels GREAT. The lights are amazing. Very comfortable both in seating and driving. Gotta go update the tracking spreadsheet for the last time.
Yeah, and the auto high beams actually work, unlike our Odyssey on which the feature is useless (unless you like blinding people).
In 52 years of driving in all over EU and in USA my high beams were use only to alert people from police traps radars or you use them driving deserted roads and try to hit a deer or rabbit to make good food.
I do have 1 small problem with mine so far. The segment of LED ambient lighting to the right of the center display appears to have the red LEDs not functioning so it doesn't follow the color out should be set to. It's maybe an 8" section. It's not worth a 2 hour drive to the dealership but I'll check with the BMW dealership close to work and see if they will address it.
And all these months I believed your SE was going through a quality check! Are there separate LEDs for each color? I assumed MINI used multicolor LEDs.
Multicolor are almost always composed of 3 separate segments in a single housing. My guess it the red driver for that segment is dead. Here's a closeup of an Adafruit Neopixel
I picked up mine yesterday also. I love the car, but I was also hit with the "Stuck in Quality Control" Double Whammy. I was told the California Clean Air $750 credit also expired on Sept 1. That QC delay cost $8250.
