    I have a 3 reservation but I am holding off until the standard battery is available. 9K for range that I do not need is not for me.

    The quality of a 3 sucks compared to a B. They will make it right but it takes several tries. If you have the time to take it bank then you can eventually end up with a good car. QC is hot a Tesla strength.

    I WOULD GUESS THE 2016 OWNERS MANUAL COMBINED WITH THE 2015 COMMAND MANUAL IS THE BEST CHOICE.i REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHY THE 2017 MANUAL IS NEARLY 20M. i AM NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN COMPARING THE 2016 AND 2017 BOOKS. I HAVE A 2017 GOOD AND THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME

    Interesting link. For me selecting 2014 gets me the 2015 command manual only. 2015 gets nothing and 2016 gets the owners and command. 2017 gets three manuals including the quick reference.

    You need two manuals The command and the operators manual. I deleted my 2014 manuals when I got a 2017 B. I could attach the 17 books to your email but I no longer have the 2014 books. If you want them PM me your email address.

    Well it looks like the robots maintain a sucker list and we are no longer on it. I have not deleted any spam in weeks.

    Day one. :(

    Many times this message goes away at the next power up. I had this message also but it has not reoccurred. You could be an unlucky one but that is why the car has a warranty.

    Add a Charge Timer

    Well my 100A FPE panel gave up. One morning at around 4AM WITH VERY LIGHT LOADS IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. I NOW HAVE A 200A PANEL LABELED EATON. It seems that Anaheim now requires at least 200A. Oh well it gives me lots of slots even though 100A would have been fine. My highest load is my 40A car.

    Battery Warranty on Used Cars

    The battery warranty is only for faults. It does not cover capacity degradation. if your battery totally dies then you are covered. You can expect 5-10% degradation per year.

    Power cable

    The car comes with a 120V L1 EVSE by Lear. It has two currents. A safe default 8A and the maximum for a 15A receptacle 12A. I use a 240V 40A OpenEVSE but the car will charge at 120V 12A. It just takes a whole lot longer.

    Motor whining, needs replacement

    Our car is a fine car but Mercedes has discontinued it. As such the parts come from Germany. My car was out of service for 2 months waiting for a part. Mercedes has an obligation to support it but it takes a long time. I rad out of the State Farm loaner money so the dealer gave me a C100...

    When we can choose 200+ mile electric vehicles

    I looked at a Tesla X. With only the color and autopilot it was 77K. Given Tesla's finances I passed. I could afford the lease but the company frightens me. It is bad enough having a Tesla drive train but ultimately Mercedes is responsible for my car..

    Do American B-Class ED have these features?

    The cruse control is not radar based. My current car has paddles and usually I select D- for max regen. I do not like D auto which is supposed to be radar based. Without the paddles it is just D. It defaults to Dauto so I just push the left paddle once.

    I had a Mercede s loaner but I had to buy gas! For two months I did not charge my car and my 2 month bill was around $100 less. Premium was $3.56 here and the loaner required it. I used just over sixty dollars in gas.

    You are dealing with two companies. Mercedes has the main responsibility but the entire drive train is from Tesla. The whole thing takes a while. At least it is a drive train part. To fix my screw up with the suspension took 2 months. Since the car is discontinued parts are slow and most come...

    These posts are equivalent to the smoking wheel. Most have no problems but a warranty is important. On my 2014 a charger coolant pump died and it was replaced three days later . I really can not fault the dealer since they did give me a loaner. If it was not in warranty it would have cost well...

    Do American B-Class ED have these features?

    I purchased a 2014 with range assist. It was the only one at Long Beach Mercedes with that option. It was fairly loaded. It did not have paddles or automatic parking. I do not think blind spot was available. I like my 2017 but they really cheapened up the interior. I fixed the missing sungless...

    Do American B-Class ED have these features?

    Radar toward assist and they come with the range extender package (2015 and later). Cruse control is the old fashioned way. Paddles and back up cameras are options. My car has blind spot detection and performance 3. The basic car lacks that.
