My experience is that this seems to be related to the creep function that they have built into the car. At some point when coming to a stop the software must engage the throttle just a bit in order to activate the creep function. That seems to happen just as the car is about to stop and causes a...

Morning Tim, I was wondering if you had run across a way to turn off the "idle creep" on the B-class. I assume they wanted the car to feel like a normal gas engine and so there is some creep built in to the software. When you take your foot off the brake the car will creep forward. I find...

Thanks for that information. That is very helpful. I have an i3 and was looking for something front wheel drive and with slightly better range. The i3 is good for about 80 miles if you use A/C. I have managed 95 on a single charge but that was being very sparing with A/C and was about 50%...

So, this was for a 2014? Does it have range extension?

So, it sounds like a no go on retro activating the range extension. It is now standard on the 2015. Does anyone know if they made the extra insulation and heated windshield also standard as part of that change? I have found some 2014 cars still up for lease but none of them have the range...

It seems that forums often highlight the troubles with the new models. There are similar issues with the i3 and if you read the forum you might be convinced they are full of troubles. I am 10,000 miles and a year into mine and it has been absolutely trouble free. One of the best car experiences...

Curious as to why you would say that? I would assume this is just a software control and it should be easy to turn it on. I was wondering if the physical button to activate the extended charge is only on the range extender package, in which case that would be a reason why this would not be a...

Hi, New to the B-class forum. Thanks for all the great information. I am contemplating a lease take over on a 2014 model. It does not have the range extension package. Can this be enabled by the dealer? Do all the models have the on/off button and is this just a software feature to enable...
