Negatives – List 3 or more things that you really don’t like about this car?

  • The other drivers hate me because it’s a BMW
  • I crap myself each time I carefully drive it into my narrow garage
  • Teslas are quicker from the lights!

 

Surprise us! Tell us something surprising about this car?
The boot is enormous (coming from a Mini) and I can easily fit in my telescope, mount, tripod and eye piece case without folding down the seats!

I don’t know, I’m in my second month of owning this one!

 

What home charging unit do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?
I don’t have one in my current home.

Gridserve, awesome. Instavolt as well. Avoid BP Pulse, they charge you (twice) for delivering nothing!
