One has to wonder what makes the B's efficiency so terrible... The worst of any EV.
Also using a range of 104 for the B is a little disingenuous as this implies the range package which is untested at this point and an unknown...

My guess is B class's poor efficiency has to deal with it's weight? Maybe also it's regen abilities as it's not as aggressive?

Efficiency is not bad, 5 people can seat comfortable (nice leg room), bigger trunk, bigger interior, higher ceiling, nice luxury EV, not to many EV give you all that, I am happy to exchange some little efficiency for all that.

Actually, chirping the tires is a problem for me: From a standstill if I punch it (like I would with my ICE) to get going quck, the tires chirp until the traction control kicks in.

Strange as it may sound, this thing has too much power...
