I’m still learning all the things the new Mini can do. For one thing, evidently if the weather’s cold, I can stay in bed, get on my iPhone, and start it up and heat it while I stay in bed.
I was picturing that, and of course I was concerned because, my God, a fatal flaw, I’d still have to get up to open the garage door, because if you leave a car running in a closed garage you will die of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Only, of course, not with an electric car.
I can’t see how you could die by electric car. You could put a fork in the charging outlet, I suppose.
When we were considering the electric car, I suggested we could instead wait for the hydrogen car to be available in our area, given that I’ve had to hear about it at every State of the Union for a dozen years, but Gary said HYDROGEN IS WHAT THEY USED IN THE APOLLO ROCKETS DO YOU WANT TO DIE.
And no, I don’t want to die, but it seems that given how hazardous gas-powered cars are, there must be some unknown danger hiding under the surface of electric cars.

Congrats on the new Mini! We can start our Volvo (Broomhilda) from our phone and come summer you are going to love it! If we’re out at lunch, just start it when you’ve received the check and by the time you get to the car it’s nice and cool! (The same for the heat mid winter.) You are truly going to love that feature. Have fun zipping around town!
Lisa – thanks! I played with all the buttons I haven’t touched yet, then I started the satellite raisin. I have a lot to learn about that. I somehow set Charley Pride as a favorite and I can’t unfavorite it and I’m concerned that I’m in some country music demographic now.
Say hi to Broomhilda. We thought about calling the Mini “Evie” (EV) but it’s just as easy to say Mini.
