My dealer made a big deal about the B-class being a luxury car when I was comparing with other EV's around. But there are some very simple things amiss that makes this an average car...
a) When I switch off the car, why can it not put the car into Park automatically? Why do I need to specifically put it into Park? If there is a reason, I would be very interested in understanding it.
b) Touch Screen!!! Mercedes is a luxury brand and it does not have touch screen! Even after having it for a few days, I am still pressing on the screen
c) The console behind the wheel - not at all representative of German engineering that I hear about! I don't look at the speedometer dial - which anyway is on the left and obstructed in view. Having at least the trip meter also as part of the digital speedometer would slightly improve the usage and information display.
d) I hope I am not trivializing it - why not include the tenth of a mile info with the trip meters? There is a significant difference between 3 and 3.8 miles!
e) This is an EV...all the EV owners I have met care about statistics When the car is switched off, why not show the trip information? There is a "From Start" screen that they can show (if it can already be customized to show that screen on power off, I would be interested in knowing how to do it!).
That's all for today! Otherwise, it's a good EV...good pickup, good feel, spacious!
