In my 2019 letter to head designer Oliver Heilmer, begging to pay extra for a hood-scoop delete option, I tried to butter him up by including a close-up of the fog-light area. I wrote that the sculpting of that element was beautiful. I later found it ironic I chose the classic fog lights to praise because Mr. Heilmer had already decided to do away with them:
So you're the reason the fog lights are gone!
I’ve had my mini se for three weeks and have yet to see a full charge over 100 miles?
What!?! The MINI website isn't displaying the most up-to-date information? This is not news.
You never will. The main thing to remember is that the displayed range is hideously low. You will still have around 30% left whilst going through 100miles (in sports mode). It really is that bad. Always use the battery percent as a gauge of range, never the GOM.
If you drive slowly on multiple consecutive drives, the GOM will eventually get the idea and show a longer full-charge range. @vader's right, the battery percent read-out is much more meaningful.
To simplify mental gyrations, maybe try 3 km per every 2% SoC? That comes out to a range of 150 km (93 mi), which is somewhat conservative but probably better than the GOM.
If you go with 2km/% in anything warmer than a "cold" climate, you should be fine and have plenty of buffer. I get about 220km at 110kph on the (flat) freeway in a warm climate if that helps.
