Now having driven the Mini for two days, I can make an intelligent comparison... and they aren't really comparable at all. Previously I had a 2016 Tesla Model X and a 2010 Tesla Roadster and people would often ask me which one was "better" or "more fun". The truth is they are both fun (the Mini and the Model X), but both very different. The Plaid Model X is brutally fast, tomb silent, has a luxuriously smooth ride with the new raven suspension, and has a ton more storage and passenger space. The Mini, on the other hand, is quick (not fast), nimble, cute, has excellent fit and finish, and costs 1/4 that of the Tesla. They both serve different purposes and are both excellent in their own ways.
