No, I work for the dealer :)

I am considering one for my wife, but she is hesitant about going full EV, even though it will only be a 2nd car

Which dealer? I am waiting for a blue one.

My wife hijacked my EV that I bought as a second car for me.

Our first batch of cars has been delivered to the dealership, mix of white and grey. Would expect deliveries to retail customers starting early next week, with about 6-10 per day hitting the roads.

Have you ordered and waiting for one? :D

And one blue one? *Nudge nudge wink wink*

Still worth a drive and forming your own opinion. I've read probably 20+ mini driver reviews on facebook and this is by far the most harsh one I've read

I have never driven a MY but the 24 hours I had with the M3 convinced me it Tesla style cars weren't the cars for me. Again each to his own and YMMV as they say. OTOH a Model S - that is a different story :-)

24 hours probably not really long enough to decide that.
I used my parents Model 3 for a week and for the first day or two I couldn't get my head around it but by the end of the week I really want one myself! :D

The MG ZS EV will have to do for now though.

Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

My wife is getting the BYD so she had to like it :-) I am getting her Barina RS Turbo and I give up my older BMW 540i :-(

I saw a demo car on the road in Christchurch today, they look quite nice on the outside at least! The only strike I'd put against it is having those pulsing style indicator lights.

Some people don't like the big Bring Your Dreams on the back but then how different is that from the big Range Rover on the back of their cars?

I thought you had to "Build your Dreams", rather than Bring them :)

Cool, we'll be expecting a detailed youtube unboxing and walkthrough in the next 1/2 hour :) ....

But more seriously, let us know hoe it goes as you discover all its ins and outs...

Congrats, you'll be one of the first to have their own car on the streets, enjoy your purchase.

I wonder how easy it would be to flick those letters off the boot? ie., how are they attached? WHile it wouldn't stop me from buying one, that's the one bit I don't like about them.
