Oops!! Yes, there is mention of this option back in August 2019. Cardonman

Everyone: An article describing the “bearing repair motor problem“ by Electric and mentioned here by Peter also has embedded a DC option for the B Class by QC Charge in CA. Read the description and the availability. Equipment price is about $3000. There are some pictures that explains this...

Hey everyone! While everyone waits on what’s next from MB the folks from Munich came up with the Cooper SE. Although development has taken a really long time they (BMW/Mini) will start delivering in March here in the States. Affordability is the pitch that they are using. Ergonomics? Did I...

My dear club member! Get rid of it while it’s still operable!!! I’ve driven a Model 3 now for 3 months and can't put into words the joy I get out of it. The B Class is a sweet car with so much potential. Unfortunately, as you stated MB has dropped virtually all support for this model. How sad...

Well guys/gals: This just in from MB HQ. “Thank you for your interest in the EQC — an innovative new direction for Mercedes‑Benz which is getting a lot of attention! It launched in Europe and other markets several months ago and has generated so much interest worldwide that Daimler AG has had...

Well...just as I was about to install the tires I sold the car. Returned the tires and bought a Model 3. My goodness what a difference compared to the B Class. The ride in the B Class is slightly better - I think but that’s about it. The tech in the 3 is like driving the “iPhone 20”. I had a...

Peter: Thank you for your insight. I had it checked today ($150) and you are right!! It is a spring/ring behind the airbag. For another $600 (part/labour) they’ll fix it for me once they get the part. They had done the Takata recall back in February this year to add an extra ground wire and a...

Hey y’all!! I was “over there” (song) this past summer. Lots and lots of B Klasse cars. Gas, diesel and EV. Many as taxis. I recall seeing a UTube vid on a B Class EV test mule out in the cold in Sweden/Norway. Don’t know what happened. However, according to AutoBild (German mgz.) the 2020 MB...

Hello all! Steering wheel started making strange clicking sounds yesterday. This seems so odd as you all know that the car is almost silent. It didn’t seem to bother anything but it became even more annoying. While leaving a parking lot I turned the wheel and heard a snap sound. The battery was...

I m pretty happy with this car. I have close to 48,000 miles. Have gone through two sets of Michelin Run Flats. Had a drivers seat fuse go out. The “charge port” door actuator was replaced. The MB dealer broke the plastic battery cover tray underneath and they replaced it new for free. A left...

Hi all!! What’s the tire situation currently? In my case, I’ve replaced the run flats once. ($190 per) Almost two years now and it’s coming close to putting on another set. After reading all the comments I’ve decided to skip run flats this time around. After shopping extensively I found a...

Everyone: You can also drive around with the menu in the “state of charge screen” activated. You can monitor the amp ”regen/draw” amounts. I’m curious because of the weight/size of the car compared to the torque output of the little motor. (!) My $.02, C

😀👍🏽

Ask for the results from the last Annual Certification. The MB sheet will specifically state if the main battery is still within specifications. Also check out my post “Did you know?” My $.02, C

The trick is in pressing the two buttons ALMOST simultaneously. If you depress the right button first by 1/2 a second then the ok button for about 2 seconds you’ll notice a 2-3 second delay. Continue to hold the two buttons until the service screen menu appears. It does matter if you have the...

Peter: In most MB platforms that have the silver start button - it can be removed. It simply slides out- it’s a plug. If you have the infrared remote key insert it to position one. Then use your digits as described. If your connected to a EVSE you can see the charge rate as in the example...

My question to everyone was: “What I don’t understand is what does the Volts displayed mean? Are there 340 V left in the battery? Does the OS convert the 240 V AC charge to DC 400 V’s? The lowest I’ve seen so far was 306V@ 25 amps. Any ideas?” While passing through Atlanta a fellow PlugShare...

Good for you! I just had the battery in for recertification. A car wash and 30 point inspection at $0 cost. The new service rep couldn’t believe it. (!) :D

Hey everyone! I’m on my return leg from Atlanta back to Winston-Salem for the annual Battery Recertification. It’s a 275 mile trip. The car is performing flawlessly. (Even came alongside a new Audi e-Tron that, for a few seconds at least, left him dumbfounded.) MB also did a 30 point inspect at...
