I got my recall completed -- as well as the COMAND update -- a couple ofweeks ago. Wasn't impressed with the service. I asked the service rep to top up the washer fluid, he said yes, but it was not done. One mile out of the dealer lot, the Check washer fluid sign comes on again. If he wasn't...

The MBUSA website shows that the recall applies to my car. But when I call the dealer, they told me that "as long as the SRS airbag light is not on," I don't have a risk of this powertrain shutdown issue. I asked for documentation showing this, and was told quickly that there is no such...

Thanks for the all replies. I ended up getting a portable battery with jump start capability that I can also use to recharge my phone. Glad to hear that the B class can be used safely to jump start another car.

The battery on the second (gas) car is dead. Can I use the 12V battery on the B class to jump start the gas car? Has anyone tried this, and are there any risks with doing this with an electric vehicle? Thanks!

Should be possible. He has been very responsive and has done a great job. Send him a pm.

I thought leasing was a no-brainer because in three years, battery-electric vehicles will be on the market that will do twice the range for the same price. So your 2015 EV will be worth a lot less in 2018 than a gas car that sold at the same MSRP in 2015. When $50k cars are capable of 200+...

It works fine for me even when the car is locked. JuiceBox pro, set to begin charging at 11 pm which is when my lowest TOU rate kicks in.

Does your title show E for motive power? If the dealer put gas down by mistake, that might explain it. PS: I just applied for a decal for my 2015 B class. I guess I will know in 3 weeks if I will have the same issue.

I got my JuiceBox installed on Saturday. I was using the level 1 charger for a few weeks, and I am really glad I upgraded to level 2. I didn't like the documentation for setting it up on my home Wi-Fi, it got the job done but was felt rather complicated. Now I can charge in the middle of the night.

Thanks everyone for sharing your sightings. Sounds like there are more if these in SoCal and in the South Bay. I am going to LA today, will keep my eyes open!

I have been on the lookout for this model on the road ever since I ordered mine in November. I see the occasional i3, and many a Leaf, but not a single B class spotted in the real world in five months. Other than my own of course. I live in the bay area and drive often in San Francisco. I like...

It is back up now, and sync is working.

Thanks, that is a great suggestion. I will check with SolarCity and their competitors if they are interested.

I looked into going solar when I bought my home a few years ago. It did not make financial sense then because we have very low electricity consumption, typically worth about $40 a month. Now that I am charging a car at home -- I drive about 30 miles round-trip each day -- I am wondering if it...

Yes, perhaps a simple four-LED charging indicator like the one on the EVSE that comes with the car. It can be placed near the charging cable connector.

I have the same issue. Looks like their server is down. I am hoping that it is down because they are upgrading the software, and it will start working better in future.

Good idea!

I got a slightly better deal from the Oakland dealer with a similar MSRP but on the 2015 model that I had ordered back in November. You should get a much better deal on the 2014 model.

This would have been a great feature for MB to build into the original design -- to be able to schedule the charging either from the webpage or from within the car. If they had built it into the webpage, I guess jwarcd could have made it part of his app. Not sure if that can still be done or if...
