It does not go into park until the door opens. At that time the radio turns off and it goes into park.

The one I had looked to be well built but with no paperwork I sent it back. With the discussions here I think it might have fit the pull. In any event I am very happy with my 2016 CLA overhead console. It fits fine and it has the same revision codes. There are cheaper consoles on eBay but they...

Being single means that the car can cost a lot. I have no other credit card payments and no townhouse payment. So I do not really have any other costs. I charge and pay off around 2K per month. I am sure the credit card companies hate me since they give me a bonus and they can not charge interest.

Well, you seem to have a better deal than I managed. My 2014 was just under 50K MSRP and the lease was for 34K. I just am not interested in a stripper. I want and I am willing to pay for options. On the other hand Jeff is happy with his stripper. Even stripped the car offers a lot. Me, I want a...

Assuming LA is Southern California you should be able to get a really good deal. I never got that far but the finance guy in 2014 said that Mercedes would forgive the last three payments to lease early. That said, I really had to search to find an optioned out car. Most dealers only had...

Since 2015 all B's come with the range extender. Another option that is worthwhile is the blind spot warning. I leased a B with premium 3 and blind spot for 32K. The deals are good in CARB states. The basic stripper is even cheaper but I wanted the stuff with 3.

On my old car I roiled into the garage door the day I got the car. Mercedes gets a lot of money for the touch up paint.

that is the way my car works. You can put it into park by pushing the button on the end of the shift stalk.

As far as Parktronic, I do not have that option. I had it on my sGolf and I never used it. I have heard it works well but it is not for me. Forty plus years ago parallel parking on the company street at Ft Ord fully trained me.

My 2014 had only one problem. The charger coolant pump failed and Mercedes of Anaheim quickly fixed it. My car had the range extender option. Most 2014 cars did not. My dealer only had one car in stock with it. Fortunately it was white and I wanted a white car. My 2017 has blind spot warning...

Well, I guess I should try my seat heaters to see if they work, I drive so few miles the heater is good. It is set for 75 degrees F and it works fine. On my previous totaled 2014 Mercedes of Anaheim treated me right! The car needed a new charging coolant pump and it took four days. Those were...

As far as I know the service center has to register the sensors. In my ex eGolf you could turn off the sensor reading for winter tires, not so the B. The B is strictly a CARB car with the minimum effort required to fit the Tesla Drivetrain. Normal Mercedes frills are lacking. It does not even...

My old eGolf had a timer that could be set to fully finish before the scheduled departure time.I think it could be set to 0%. It would charge to the specified level then shut off. I used it to charge to 80% since Anaheim does not have tiers. I simply disconnected the cable when it shut down...

Most people that have tiers and expensive power try to charge late at night when the power is cheaper. For example the OpenEVSE opens a changeable window from 5 min after midnight and 5 min before 7AM (defaults). The car will finish long before the window closes.

I had range plus on both my 2014 and 2017. In both cars the meter only shows the 80% power. THE gom does show the added power as more range. Since my car is also leased I use the option when needed. I only use it to go to the TRW Amateur Radio Swap Meet (39 miles one way). The car does fine and...

As I understand it this (2017) is the last year for the car. The factory is being repurpased.

I have not run across one but I have not specifically looked for one on my 2017 B250E. I have found features stripped out that are in the manuals. . If I need a timer then I use OpenEVSE's one. It works fine.

The 2017 EVSE is still sealed in a bag. If it is the same as my 2014 the default is 8A and you have to manually switch to 12A (the max for a 15A outlet). I carry an OpenEVSE unit with me. It is default at 12A @120V and 16A at 240V. The L1 can be set hotter for a 20A circuit but the last one had...

Since I folded in a loss on my VW I do not want to share the details. The lease is $45 less than my 2014.

The dealer had 2 white and two black strippers and only one white fully loaded one. Most dealers had only the stripper cars in stock. What good is a great deal on a car I do not want. My 2014 had a high 49K list and I leased it for 34K. There are really good deals in California. My deal was...
