    Tesla Model 3

    I reserved two the evening of the announcement. Our two MB EV leases end July 2018, so perfect timing to lease the Model 3. The Model 3 at $35,000 is an incredible value offering 215 miles range. After government incentives it is $25,000 in California. At that price point the lease should be...

    10,000 Mile Service

    I just dropped my car off at MB Stevens Creek for the 10,000 miles service. I can confirm replacing the desiccant filter and the battery check is free. All software updates are free of course. However, the so called "level A" service is $150 for them to check the rest of the car. I...

    Can the B class be used to jump start another car?

    Stretch2727, Thanks for the explanation above regarding the 12v battery. This is off topic. I noticed you also have the e-Golf. Can you tell us how do you like the e-Golf? What you like about it and what you don't like about it (vs. LEAF and MB B ED)? (I test drove the e-Golf couple times...

    Thank you for your detailed update pharmama. Wow, 30 days is a long time for them to keep your car. Hopefully they have fixed your sudden loss-of-drive problem.

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    Your loss-of-drive experience sounds just like another member here a few weeks ago. The three control units are called: PTCU (powertrain control unit) PTCU-GW (powertrain control unit gateway) AAC (AC control unit) You definitely should bring your 2015 B ED in ASAP and they will update...

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    CM23, Losing power 5 times since June 23 2015 is completely unacceptable. Can you describe to us your loss-of-drive incidents in more detail? Everything went dark? Or all the lights came on in your instrument panel? Or car jumped to Neutral from D? What error messages did you see before...

    I have confirmed with MBUSA that they are monitoring this thread (how often I am not sure). MBUSA is of course welcome to respond here, but so far they have not done so.

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    Thank you for that update pharmama. After you get your car back please ask them exactly what was the fault that caused your sudden loss-of-drive, which parts they changed, which firmware was updated to which control unit, this way the rest of us here on this forum will be more informed of these...

    Thump! Complete Loss of Power on Freeway. Went into Neutral

    Thank you for updating us @NYM. So looks like they did some firmware update. Did they swap out any any hardware items? On your service receipt, did they list all the fault codes they found? If so, would appreciate it if you could also list them here. On my service receipt the fault codes...
