Introducing our new Tesla powered Classic Mini EV 

Interesting. Any plans for more range and/or fast charging?

Fantastic 🎉. What a build. Congratulations guys. So proud to be working with you. Have a great Christmas and New Year. 🎄😎👌

Now that Tesla has made their charging open source (NACS) are you planning on implementing their design?

That’s so beautiful! I love that you kept the interior very classic.

I love the idea of hot hatch EV''s

So my boss has a tesla.... Can you come swap motors for me one Saturday.... He'll never know... 😂

Total kudos to you guys. During my Dads lifetime he had 17 Minis. I was lucky enough to learn to drive in one, so I have a certain closeness with them. Over here in the UK they have always been very popular with traditionalists (like myself), not classing the BMW cars as real Minis. They should have called them Maxi's as they're not exactly mini, in the literal sense. Personally I would give up more boot/trunk space to have a bigger battery and put my luggage on the back seats instead. I have some very happy childhood memories of travelling in classic Minis, so I totally admire what you guys are doing over there. You got another subscriber too.....

I just love this build and I had to watch it several times... More EV conversation builds please 🙏🙏🙏❤️👌

Adding this to my want list

Been watching Richard's channel for awhile and so glad to see this team up. Amazing work.

That looks really good! Love that you guys kept the classic mini look. Was wondering how you guys were able to throttle the motor, just flip a switch for Ludicrous Speed. Great job!!

Seriously hope this industy keeps on growing, recycling old classics that provide unmatched space effiency.

Excellent review :)

Which components did u use

Amazing!

Love the way you said, "Its quiet, kinda awkard at first!" Ha ha , what no gearbox whine? I need one!!!

Congrats on expanding your commercial appeal into untapped areas. If it keeps people talking about Minis, then I am happy for it.

Where do I sign up for one?

How much max battery can you put on this build?.. Congrats guys for this great project

6:13 Me to my Mk1 Cooper S 1275cc engine: "Don't listen to him, he doesn't know what he is talking about!". 🙃😋

Combination of my fav cars Tesla and OG Mini

ONE WORD is needed!! WOW

Wow, that might just be the sexiest car video I've ever seen!

can the kit convert it to rear wheel drive. id love a rwd mini

Excellent build. It's great to have engine swapped Mini's live in the same world as EV swapped Mini's.

Dear Santa, I’ll take 1 super cooper EV in widebody

Awesome video guys 🙌🙌

Electrifying.

weight ?

😍

*weight savings have left the chat*.. 😳😳

Do you need the tesla display to make this work, exactly what parts are required.

Howdy. How much ($$$) and what is the weight. Many Thanks.

That electric conversion would be great for the earlier modern minis....no smog

Is Air bags an option?

I love it, but for $110K - nah! For that kind of money I can buy a used Model S performance, a vtec mini, and take my family on a nice vacation to the beach for 2 weeks, and still have money left.

Take Ma manaaaaaaye!!! 🔥

16mins video for an easy install of an AA battery.. : D

Do you build with Automatic Transmission ???

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Com'on Lottery !

Once again, Chris Pine taking a break from Blockbuster Hollywood movies to build another cool mini.

I think they look amazing but the price is way out of the way of the average consumer.

THAT IS THE PROPER GEAR SHIFTER.....YOU PUSH IT FORWARD TO GO FORWARD.....PULL IT IF YOU WANT TO GO BACKWARD.....I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY OTHERS DO IT THE OPPOSITE

電気自動車ですか！ いいですね。 いくら位のですかね。JP

Over $120,00.00 ???

Another spoiled classic. Nice bodyshell.

For an American to say the A Series engine is nothing special, is greatly ignorant of how powerful and torquey it is per litre or ci, in comparison to anything produced in the USA at the same time. 34bhp from 848cc in 1959 up to 76bhp from 1275cc in 1964. What normally aspirated American performance car could produce 60bhp per litre stock from the factory in 1964? What American economy car could produce 40bhp per litre in 1959? In the late 1970s, America was producing cars with power per litre figures not seen in Europe, since before WW2, such as the 88bhp 4.1 lite straight 6 in the North American Ford Granada.. Even a year 2000, 260bhp 4.6 litre V8 Ford Mustang GT falls short of the 60bhp per litre achieved by the stock A Series engine in the Mini Cooper S, 36 years earlier.

By the way, “qi” is pronounced like “chee”.

Fast and a FASTER WAY TO DIE

I wouldn't want a Tesla powerd Tesla let alone a Tesla powerd mini

Rehearse whatever you re trying to say

Spoiled Mini.

The body is still a mini so still crap.

Naaaaahhhhhh!!👎💩
