    Why only 9kW charging rate on 9.6kW charger?

    The RAPI commands obviously work but I tend to ignore them. I am more a basic unit with an external power meter person. I just want a simple unit that works.

    No COMAND Navigation

    Lease assumption

    The problem with Nissan is that you may have the car and pay the lease but the original Leese is still on the lease and if you default he is on the hook. Most other makes let you assume the whole lease.

    Why only 9kW charging rate on 9.6kW charger?

    If you have a programmer like the USBASP you can tweak the settings for the current coil. Lincomatic considers it calibrated if it is within 1A but with the source you can set it exactly. You can also set your 240V level. The unsupported programmers are less than $5 on eBay. Chris sells the...

    I am am stupid!

    There is no doubt it is my fault. It seems to me that the mechanical repairs were done first and then the body parts were ordered. I ran out of Hertz rental money and I have had a service loaner since Christmas week. I JUST HOPE THEY DO A GOOD JOB.They have a desk at Anaheim Mercedes so the...

    I have had the service loaner for so long I should be making payments on it. The fender liner is taking forever to ship from Germany. I used up my $600 rental and now I have a service loaner. It has been seven weeks now. I WANT MY CAR BACK!

    Why only 9kW charging rate on 9.6kW charger?

    I charge my B250E at 40A and 245VAC with a DIY OpenEVSE. It has a Barbouri ver 4.2 board. I have no problem charging at 40A with a Quick Charge Power J1772 cable. I do not use the internal meter since it is not as accurate as my external meter. I only use the internal meter on my never used...

    I am am stupid!

    My left hip bothers me. It makes getting into the C300 slow but I manage. If it was not for Tylenol(Costco generic)I think my 2 mile dog walks would be impossible. For an arthritic hip it works better than Motrin. My dog wants his walk now! I do 2 miles in 45 min. Not bad for a 70 year old with...

    By the way, I think the C300 is considered a sports sedan. I find it also too low and it is hard to get in and out of but it is not forever.

    I am am stupid!

    I hope to remain covered. It was determined that the other driver was at fault so last week I received my deductible back. It tool over a year. The other car just had California minimums so I guess State Farm was out a lot of money. Twenty years ago I hit and killed a motorcycle rider. With a...

    It will be over six weeks. I hope they have been charging the car. The body shop is ten miles from home. If it does not have enough charge I am going to require it be charged before I pick it up. Now they are saying it will be done on the tenth.

    The body shop was recommended by the dealer. They even have a desk there. I just hope that Anaheim Hills Autobody does a good job. Since I have a car I can live with the over six weeks time but I WANT MY CAR BACK!

    Since it is more than my $500 deductible the total is covered by State Farm. The total bill is not reverent to me. I am out my deductible and the bill less bodywork was just about 5K. It took a long time for the parts to arrive from Germany. With the damage covered for the wheel's floating the...

    I am am stupid!

    It appears that I went into the turn far too fast. I hit the curb and marked up the wheel and demolished the suspension. Then the floating wheel damaged the bodywork. You can not really blame the dealer or Mercedes for my mistake. Oh well, I guess that is what insurance ids for but it ruins my...

    I am am stupid!

    No drag racing. I tried to beat a left turn signal to make a U turn. I went into it too fast and broke the suspension. The parts come from Germany and the repair is just under 5K. All of this was at 854 miles. Oh well it is a good thing I am planning to turn in the car at lease end. With the...

    Breakdown

    My car is in the body shop(do not ask, I was stupid) and I have a gasser C300 loaner. The engine shuts down at stop lights but it seems to work fine.

    Rear seat headrests

    Either the dealer broke the stops or they changed something. I was prepared to force the headrests off but it was not necessary.

    2017 B250e lease transfer assumption takeover x 21 months

    California is a no recourse state. If you drive it off the dealers lot it is yours forever. There are signs prominently posted affirming this at car dealers. I think the law requires this.
