This is exciting! I have a 2018 Countryman S and have been wanting to go EV, but my wife hasn't wanted to give up the Mini. Maybe, this will change her mind. Cannot wait for more content from you. Living out in the expanses of eastern Washington state, I'll really be interested in the range you achieve.
As both an EV and MINI enthusiast, I’m really excited to check out the U25 BEV in person! I’m on my third EV and they make really fantastic daily drivers. I’d love to scrap our Tesla for a U25!!
I heard the Countryman’s optional champaign colored matte roof (officially called Vibrant Silver) is a new generation of matte finish that’s car wash safe.
Welcome to the world of EVs! MY '23 SE Hardtop isn't nearly as fast as my GP3 but I'm curious how the Countryman SE compares. Since you have both, how about a drag race? And more importantly, what is the new car's name?
I'm currently trying to figure out how I can do that in a safe and responsible manner. Titus! After the ship my last two MINIs coincidentally traversed the Atlantic on
@@TheMINIVlog Titus is a great name! Maybe you can do a time-trial style drag race one car at a time w/ a stopwatch and marry the video in post based on timestamps. That would prob. be safer and still as interesting to show quickness off the line, 0-60, etc. Well, if u can pull it off, would love to see it!
@@GaryFerreiraJr-h3u MINI of Canada did a drag race between the GP3 and the OG Hardtop SE and put it here on YT. It was no contest! Sadly we won’t get the new Hardtop SE in the US for years so someone is gonna have to drag the Countryman SE and the new Hardtop SE in the UK, Canada, or elsewhere.
@PejSaint the new 2dr SE should be rolling of the production line in 2026… I have a guy that has had between 30-35 corvettes in his life and he says the Countryman SE is faster off the line by far…!!!
You left out the fun of the finance office upsell shenanigans 😜. But, congrats. I’ve had my SE for a month. Lots of fun to discovering the deeper menus! And an L2 home charger is a must.
Congratulations! I know you pre staged this event but I am surprised that your salesman didn't walk you to your new car. Are you going to have a level 2 charger installed at your home?
You are correct. Caleb did a bunch of stuff off camera for sure. 💯 Top notch sales guy. At the moment, no! You will see more details in a future video about that
I'd really like to go electric but don't want a Countryman. Currently driving a 2021 JCW 2d ht. I'm concerned that next year the $7500 fed ev tax credit may go away and kill MINI's plans to bring the 2d ht ev to the US. I really want that JCW EV expected to be available late '26/early '27.
Caleb with the cameo!🎉
Yes indeed!!!
Congrats on the new car. Can't wait for the reviews on range and charging. You have a pretty sweet garage now.
Thanks! I can't wait to share more on the car and yes, the garage is awesome (but needs to be physically bigger!!!)
Currently my customers are getting 244 miles to a full charge, and it seems to go up using the Driver Assist...

I endorse that plan!!!!
@@TheMINIVlog Me, too 😂 My F57 will hopefully get an F66 JCW sibling in 2025, so a U25 BEV would complete the trifecta!!
you purchased it instead of leasing it? wouldnt that have made more sense for the 7500 credit
Congrats on the new car and it was great filming with you!!
Such a fun day!
congratulations, your new countryman looks awesome!
Thanks!!
Congrats, bud! big accomplishment!

Thanks!

As a fellow EV owner welcome to the club. You'll enjoy never having to go to a gas station again.
Looks fun 🤗

@@PejSaint Definitely needs to be side by side with the 2DR HT SE.........

“ANOTHER MINI” did you win the MEGA and didn’t share that detail?
You get a MINI! And you get a MINI! And you get a MINI!

I luckily didn't have to cut out any sales shenanigans. Caleb is a fair and honest dude so we didn't have to do that awkward back and forth
@@TheMINIVloglucky :-). Hope you enjoy the SE!!!
The 2025 SE comes with a level 2 charger...

Another one add to the collection - Enjoy and congrats
