BMW’s Electric Mini Rollout Yields ‘Painful’ Lessons

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aeQwon7TV3Fo&pos=10

BMW has begun to rollout it's electric mini in select cities. Several major problems including having a battery in the back seat and day long charging times became immediately apparent to early adopters. After reading the article, it seems as though executives expected this. Executives don't seem to be worried about damage to the MINI brand with a crappy initial launch. I'm looking forward to when BMW works out the bugs and this product becomes as mainstream as the Prius.
