    Dealer offer hilarious

    Last month we received a solicitation for a new B class lease from the dealer we bought the car from. Offer said we could get $10,000 lease down payment cash from MBFS, $4000 from them, PLUS all state and federal rebates. Run that number on a B class at retail in a normal MB lease and the...

    Blink HQ - working pull - $275 + Ship

    Hey everyone - I have heard bad stories about fit and finish and reliability of Tesla and with final assembly under warranty. My experience with a Model S 75D was mixed. The panel fit is nowhere near as good as Porsche, Benz or Audi - I have a 12 year old 911 that has better fit and finish...

    Completely no power response after not using for three weeks

    interesting - why would a deep cycle automotive 12v battery fail after 3 weeks - and why would you not use the L-ion rechargeable as a back up source of 12v power? All you need is a capacitor and a resistor circuit. . . . and a switch.

    Excellent 16 Amp Charging (L2) @ 240v -- recommendation

    Great, make sure its wired for 30amp - you're only going to get 208v anyway in most cases - most power is now at about 105v - not 110v any more. So 2 x 105 = 210, minus a little for the CEO's bonus. I know this is an old thread - but - do not say a WORD about any reason for it - you just...

    The App is a POS, and so is the Customer Service

    there is no released iOS app . . . The simply amazing thing is that we still get the Vehicle charged to 90% email - which means its sending data someplace - but neither our dealer nor the phone folks can tell us why - or why the system is not sending data to the app or the MBUSA folks. They...

    I really HATE MBUSA. . .

    My wife's 2014 vehicle had the 3 electric motor software recalls performed on it. One of them required that we give them our driver license number and expiration date- I balked at that. They 'need it to order and affix the VELC Label' affirming completion of the recall. Bull. There is...

    The App is a POS, and so is the Customer Service

    READ THIS before you buy or lease the MB B EV

    MB issued the software recalls for this - Tesla apparently simply made the tolerances wider - the kludge factor is strong with this car. My wife loves the car, loves never having to buy gas, loves the feel and style of the car. It's been reliable for us - we're closing in on the 10,000 mile...

    The App is a POS, and so is the Customer Service

    MBUSA sure has spent no effort on ensuring the B-Class app is total POS. I get an email from back when it worked every day when the car gets charged to 90%. But it does not work anymore. I've tried logging in and logging out- and did nothing. When I called the M-Brace line - they had...

    How much do you pay per KWH?

    Solar systems never pay off - even a 3kwh system is 20 panels. About $1200 a panel installed. $24000 - not much of a rebate or incentive any longer - if you computer your pay off point is 20-30 years down the road - if you own the same house - it works - otherwise - solar is a suckers bet...

    2015 MB B class lease in Los Angeles

    MB financial acquisiiton fee is $795 - dealers adding profit should be a 'no thank you' - negotiate it to zero - part of that $795 goes to the dealer anyway. Remember if you pay the reg fees the payment should be lower than $352 since the $431.75 is not being financed. I would ask them to...

    Internal fault in drive unit

    BRING THE CAR IN THE THIRD TIME . . . READ THE LEMON LAW. Once you bring the car in 3 times for the same problem without a fix you can demand that they take the car back - even in a lease you are held harmless for the junked car. Also - complain to the leasing company - you leased a car -...

    Is there a onboard Timer on B Class? and the best EV charger

    We just bought the Blink unit - when the wife gets home at 630-7p she punches the 4 hour delay times and at 32A she's fully charged by 1230a. . . .

    10 days with b-class

    The only serious what were they thinking design moment is the lack of charging delay. Even Chevy has a programmable charger built into the system. It forced us to buy another charger - adding $300 net to the price of the car - we sold the Voltec charger we had previously but did have a 40...

    10 days with b-class

    There is no reason the incentives plus down cannot exceed 25% MSRP. For example - the maximum reduction for a $48950 lease [our 2014] would be ~$12250-yet - our Cap Cost was $30350 . . . MB had a $5k credit at the time we leased - the federal credit was $7500, plujs there was another $3k...
