    What's the appeal of Mercedes-Benz?

    Being a poor tight-wad skinflint, I never had a luxury vehicle until the Jaguar S-Type. A whole different world compared to Toyotas, Hondas, Chevys, Fords, and Subarus. You knew you were in a different car. Much better performance, comfort, and style. I can imagine the MB gives the same...

    Broken Public Chargers

    They finally fixed it in the Chargepoint and Plugshare Apps. The four chargers at Zanker Recycling were listed as free and often in use. But when I went to that location, there were spiderwebs all over the charging handles, and the reader would not recognize my card. In fact, the display said...

    Would you recommend a used 250e for a first time EV'er? Pros/Cons of other EV's?

    Sorry, I don't have a B250e. I wanted one badly, did tons of research. But the attitude of MB dealers (they don't want to sell it, would rather pawn off a C-class), the BS of the battery warranty, fears of Tesla powertrain problems, and the high cost kept me from buying. I have graduated from a...

    Would you recommend a used 250e for a first time EV'er? Pros/Cons of other EV's?

    Would that happen to be the Target at Coleman and Autumn Parkway, near the Shark Tank? If so, know it is not Chargepoint, it is Target Corporate who has forsaken its customers. In February, the chargers used to be all operational, then some idiot drove off with the second from the right cable...

    MB Extended Warranty coverage/exclusions for electrics

    Get your money back asap. They sold you the wrong warranty as it does not apply to your vehicle. Cite the text you provided here. Avoid the salemen because they will just blow you off. Find out who it the owner of the dealership and go after them. If they stall, mention fraud and legal action...

    “How does a Tesla motor work?”

    The Tesla drive unit in your B250e is the same one found in the 2012 Model S rear wheel drive. Albeit with some small improvements. Like better seals, brushes, and bearings. It is also called the large drive unit. It is pretty much the same drive unit used in the 2012-2014 Toyota RAV4 EV...

    From the manual: Desiccant cartridge replacement

    Check the warranty manual, I believe it states that the desiccant replacement is entirely free of charge. But it is time dependent. That the replacement must be within 1 month of the previous year's replacement. So, replaced May 2018, replace April, May, or June of 2019. And you are damn...
