Deliveries Continue – Blogs on the Rise

The MINI E deliveries are continuing, in California at least. I hope that truck bound for New York / New Jersey doesn’t get lost. I’ve found several more blogs. You can link to them from the sidebar. BTW, a couple of Pioneers are keeping track of where the MINI Es are. On EV Nation you’ll find a map of the Los Angeles area showing MINI E locations and driving ranges.  David Fliegler, NoGasMini on Twitter, has created a sign-up page for MINI E owners willing to share their chargers and he also has maps of the East and West Coast MINI Es. I hope to get my MINI E from Eastern Long Island to New Jersey some day thanks to the generosity of other Pioneers. We need more NY/NJ owners willing to share their chargers to let David know.

I’ve also opened a twitter account under my domain identity, Stuartist. I don’t have much there yet but I thought it would be useful once I get the car to post quickie updates. When I arrived at Twitter, I came across David Fliegler’s link to the Mini E Owner’s Manual. It was good reading but it was also an early draft. I was told at the NY Auto Show that some features would be left out to conserve energy. One was the auto-folding side mirrors and another was the heaters on the side mirrors. The manual mentions both but according to Todd and Kari the manual was a bit optimistic. Oh, well.

I’m still awaiting my installation appointment. More news soon.
