I recently purchased an adapter from Lectron that appears to be the first of its kind. It allows cars with the CCS charging ports to charge from a Tesla Supercharger. However, I have yet to open it, and am contemplating returning it. Even with the extra info I got from Lectron, I cannot determine if this will work with my 2024 Mini Cooper (September 2023) which is the original 114 mile version, and not the newest ones they change the interior for and also upgraded the battery capacity...

Just wanting to document a problem with my car in case someone else winds up with the same issue. Drove my car all weekend with no issues. Yesterday I got in it to run some errands and had a brake system error message displayed on both displays. It said driving was still possible and my errand only a mile away so I tried it out. The brake pedal felt hard and the brakes did very little. I'm thankful the regenerative braking is so strong. It felt like what typically happens when the brake... 2022 Cooper SE brake problem ..read more

I need to get a sun shade for the windhsield of our Mini SE but our concern is that where we park outdoors, our car faces the 5 story building we live in and we definitely don't want our car flashing the sun into our neighbours eyes if they're on their balconies or in their apartments. I can't find any that aren't super shiny on the sun facing side. Anyone seen anything like this or can maybe recommend something else to block the sun? Thanks for any ideas ..read more

Hi all Just checking whether any MINI SE owners here have problems charging at the stated 45-50kWh DC charging speed. Our June 2022 MINI Electric has failed to charge at the DC after its first charge of the day. After driving for 140-150km, to recharge the MINI, the speed will drop to 22-12kWh. No problems with AC charge (with our experience so far). A BMW/MINI executive told me that as stated in the manual, that slow charge happens, as the car and...
