  1. Hey y'all.

    I have been considering an all eletric vehicle for a few years now, but just havent been able to pull the trigger.

    That all changed this week when I got a deal i couldn't pass up.
    I am going to go pick up a 2023 Iconic on Friday!

    Just thought I would introduce myself and show off the awesome wrap this thing has on it. I'm very excited.

    Next step is to get a charger... Considering the unheated attached garage, I am thinking about a grizzly-e. any other suggestions?

  3. Even the color rim on the wheels match! Nice job, and certainly unique. I like it. Post some more pics from the front and back once you get it.
    What's the mileage on it? Lots of discussions on "chargers". A quick search helps, but it seems the grizzl-e are popular with even more discussions regarding the wiring for them.

    Very fun! Hope you are ready to have a blast! I have a Chargepoint at home, a friend of mine has a grizzl-e, it seems to work well for him.

    Very nice, I'm sure @Puppethead will be excited to see another SE in St. Paul / Minneapolis!

    I prefer hardwiring with a dumb (no smart features) EVSE. The prices for NEMA 14-50 receptacles have gone through the roof the past few years.

    Grizzl-e Classic (dumb charger) will definitely handle Minnesota winters. And it's one of the least-expensive EVSEs on the market. The only issue I've ever had with mine (hardwired) is after a power outage sometimes I've had to cycle the circuit breaker to get it back to normal operation.

    Do you know where the wrap was done? The photo doesn't seem to be taken at the MINI dealer...
     
  10. I am told that the wrap was done by the crew at Platinum Auto Wraps/Tint Pros. The design was inspired by Warming Stripes.

    Even cooler (haha) when you know the backstory.
