    Charging question

    I charge mine back to 100% every time I can. The reason is because battery management system should still keep cells in the battery package charged at around 80%. The meter that you see on the display just telling us that 100% of the cells are charged back. Then, when you are driving it again...

    Oil leak?

    Thanks guys for pointing at it! Was doing my 2nd checkup at 21k and ask to check for axle seals leak. Explained serviceman that other users pointed on possible issues. Indeed they discovered small leak on one side. And found MB recommendation for this year and model to change both seals...

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

    Ha Ha. It would not make sense since it is already spinning wheels on start. :mrgreen: If it would be rear wheel drive vehicle then maybe. :ugeek:

    Real world range test

    Yep. Below 32F range fall to 65-70 miles. But we are spoiled. We using all seat warmers and cabin heater at max ;) So far works for me just great! With the home charging station and my daily commute to work @ 52-57 miles fits perfectly. Hope range will jump back to 100 in the spring.

    emergency charging - HELP

    Exactly! Installing charging units at the gas stations does not have any sense. Who wants to spend significant amount of time at the gas stations waiting while their car is charging? Doing what? :roll: I’ve read somewhere about the law in Russia that forcing every gas station to have EV...

    EPA range, + comparison of bclass and 30 kWh Leaf

    My 2 cents: MB has exceptional handling, acceleration and maximum speed. Highways here has limits 70 mph, everybody driving 80-85 so you should have power to quickly accelerate to up to 95 to pass someone. And MB is not losing its power with the speed. And is not limited at 90. I’ve tested a few...

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    So, I never experience this horrible problem yet (knocking on the wood :| ). Already have 4300 miles on my 2014. Seems like a problem occurring within first 3000 miles if exist. MB USA "suggested" to do the software upgrade. I think I need to think twice now before doing that :shock:

    Extended Warranty

    Thanks Jeff, I had a Subaru before that I drove till 100k miles and then sold. Original warranty was covering 36k miles only, and all problems with the car showed up in the first 20k miles. Than nothing. Just the routine maintenance. Not sure how MB is reliable in this scenario. Are the...

    Extended Warranty

    The dealership where I bought my 2014 B-Class pushed me to buy extended warranty for 4K extra. Planning to return it since out state want me to pay extra tax on it ($280). Since the battery is covered till 100k anyway I was wondering if I really need it? Standard coverage is 3years/50k. What...
