    Are Mercedes sending our lease returns to overseas?

    I have been trying to locate my old B class. The car basically got wiped from the face of the earth except it was picked up in some Georgian website? Could it be possible Mercedes is taking these cars and shipping them overseas? I feel like that seems really stupid to do as the repairs on...

    Bye B Class, Hello Smart

    No, I actually had it for 34 months. The car was solid transportation for us, but with the Tesla and the RAV4 EV, the B class was mainly use for commute. It simply wasn't so nice that I have to spend the money on it. I think I will end up saving $300 a month swapping the two cars, that's how...

    Bye B Class, Hello Smart

    Turned the B class in two months early and jumped on one of the Smart deal. One of the reason I did it was because I can waive the $595 return fee on the B and my tires are at exactly 3/32nd, there is no way they can make it till June 30th without needing to be replaced. Since the C350e...

    Expiring Lease; Now What?

    I live in the area, I see the cars being built and being driven. If they ever get the M3 orders filled, they will have millions coming into their bank. 137m coming in a week is a good start (55K x 2500 unit per week. ) Their stocks are like a yoyo. It goes up and down. Is it always...

    Expiring Lease; Now What?

    The company is not going under anytime soon, stop thinking like a traditional company. That's how it works in tech. You are going to sound like that old man from GM. They have billions in waiting if they would just finish building their cars on time, you don't have to worry about anything...

    Expiring Lease; Now What?

    The used MX are selling for 70s, which is not much less than a new MX with the rebate. The MX is world better than the B, except for quality and reliability. The B is much easier to drive due to the size though. I would also stay away from the earlier X, they are simply not as reliable and...

    Expiring Lease; Now What?

    I am gonna turn mine back in, but I am honestly having a tough time with a replacement. I tried to give Mercedes a shot due to the early termination and turn in fee waiver, but I thought the C350e was crap and it really wasn't worth the money. It was more like a hybrid with a plug than EV with...

    I am am stupid!

    Here is a tip. If you can afford it, pay the extra to get the extra rental car insurance. The higher the better, else you will hate driving whatever piece of crap you are given. The cost is only like $100 per year. Sorry about the mishap OP.

    We have a 310kW motor? How to bypass the limitations?

    Set a real high temperature limit, sure. Set a limit base on time used, that's dumb.

    We have a 310kW motor? How to bypass the limitations?

    They also have some sort of battery temperature or WOT time limit. When I was at Laguna Seca, the car basically went to half power mode half way through the course. I am thinking 20 to 30 sec of wide open throttle. If not for the stupid limit, I would have beat the Fits and Sparks.

    I really HATE MBUSA. . .

    Why are you bitching on some forum? Contact NHTSA and said Mercedes Benz is refusing to perform a safety recall on their vehicle. That will get their attention fast
