I have 14k miles on my B Class Electric now and have used extended range only a few times. I will be moving further away from my office which will result in a 92 mile daily round trip commute in northern California with a 1,800 ft elevation change each way. Since I will only be charging once...

I have 12,000 miles on my B Class Electric now and thought I would share my experience regarding the 10,000 mile service. It took three visits to complete. The first visit included a software upgrade and various inspections. The dealer did not have the battery air dryer cartridges in stock so...
