Unless you do an extended range charge on the B-Class ED( by pressing the dash button) then 100% is really only 92% to preserve batt life. 69 miles total range isn’t terrible ( 23+ 43) and with an extended range charge you might get another 6 miles so 75 miles total range in winter is about...

Anybody looking for a great winter wheel and tires setup please private message me or respond here. Winter is coming!

If you want a compromise for price/performance, there is a 32 Amp portable EVSE out there by Zencar: It can use 120v or 240v, and Charges at 10, 16, 24 and 32 Amps. 8-in-1 Most B-Class users use it on 240v/32 Amps setting with a 40 Amp Circuit It has a 14-50P connector and a long 25 foot cable...

If that only happened once, with one machine, it has nothing to do with your car -- it has to do with the Chargepoint. Does charging start immediately most of the time.

Yeah I've used that Kool-It foam into the evaporator box through the drain tube on the bottom of the car on other cars -- my 2014 B-Class ED makes water like crazy -- I run the AC a lot. But I haven't had the car on a lift to locate the drain hose and I haven't had a smell. -- Yours must be...

I think that is a smart decision, it sounds like you mostly use your car around town anyway - I always use Waze and never use the built-in Nav -- unless I want to see the name of a street coming up. A dash clip is cool -- wish I had bough the kind that attaches to the outside of the circular AC...

How are you judging when the charging starts? By notification from the car/verizon/email? Because the car should start charging about 5 seconds after plugging in. You hear a series of clicking sounds and it is very obvious. What EVSE are you using?

You will love the car. Congrats. Where are you located?

I am selling a set of OEM wheels and winter tires - Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 RunFlat, , the best . Not sure where you live. You can see the tires on eBay but of course message me directly for the best deal. William - Nine one seven eight five nine four seven six two is my cell number

Hmm. Choice 2 and Choice 4 put you in a new car with a new warranty. I like those options. These electric cars are fun until you have problems. Choice 3 -- I don't see anything new on the horizon other than the Tesla Model 3. Audi and VW are full of BS - showing concept cars but not...

I've had mine 33 months and 31,000 miles driven and i'm definitely not sick of the car-- I wish it were a 4-year lease! the car and the range keeps getting better as you learn it. my next EV is 2017 BMW i3 REX with 94Ah battery

I use 44 psi front and rear on my 17" OEM all season ( summer) and Nokian winter tires. The tires are wearing very evenly. I measure the tires cold. In the shade. In the morning.

I have heard the milling sound is from metal shavings in the sealed Tesla motor-- a manufacturing or tolerance defect. It has happened in motors as young as 5k miles and as old as 50k miles. My B-Class is the same after 30k miles -drives better in fact. But I would not drive this car out of...
