Interesting fact about Canadian DRLs. Anyway, Oilerlord, that sure sounds like the old software -- I haven't had a warning on the dash since the recall software was applied. I hope they did the software patch, you never know since you can't check it yourself. TheStig, is your car working...

Everything you said is right, except I think the paddles are cool, especially for toggling between D- and D-Auto, which I do all the time. (Returning to D-Auto requires a pull and HOLD on either paddle). otherwise you see D-, D, D+. My car always starts in D-Auto after going into Park. When...

My latest hyper-miling techniques involve "drive like a grandma" in D-Auto. Never use the brakes, unless something unexpected happens in front of you. Pull the paddle for D- first. if I am on a particularly curvy road or stop and go traffic, I go to D-. I haven't used D+ much lately...

Chuck, I am sorry to hear about your experience. Yes I do think you could get reimbursed for all the associated costs related to the desiccant cartridges and labor for that service. Now if you agreed to wiper fluid refill, tire rotation, fluid checks, etc, that could be hard to get back...

These are back on eBay, new low price, 25 foot cord from EVSE box to J1772. All tested on an EV for one charge cycle before shipping. 6-20P plug (240 volt/ 20 Amp circuit required) : http://www.ebay.com/itm/122022738374?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I've never bought a car at the end of a lease. If the residual is $20k on a b-class Ed with 36k miles, would they sell it to me for 14k?

Did you email me so I can send you a copy of my service receipt?

They are wrong, You have to do it once a year or the battery warranty is void. It should be no charge parts AND labor. It is in your manual/warranty booklet. Email me if you need support docs. wtzouris at me dot com.

Talk to your dealer, I think you can continue your lease month by month for up to a year extra.

All those charge current settings are for 120v (Level 1) charging only. Not sure why you would want to charge at 8 Amps Level 1 ! That's 0.96 kW charging.

The B-Class will be discontinued when the Mercedes ELC is ready -- we will get a look at it this fall at the (Paris?) motor show. Probably a 2018 or 2019 model. It will be an all-new design, all Mercedes -- motor, battery and everything. Should be sweet. 200+ mile range of course. On the...

If I were in the market right now, I would go for a 2015 Model Year -- loaded with every option including Apple Car Play, Comfort Access (Keyless Start/Stop button) , Parking assist, navigation, leather, Harmon Kardon, radar cruise control (sensors front and back) , blind spot monitoring, etc...

All VW does is put out press releases -- about future electric vehicles they are going to make.. What they have produced so far is the VW e-Golf, and I don't think it matches up well against the Mercedes B250e-- except on price.

It was a Mercedes server issue. The app works again, ... I use it every day. Their website "certificate" expired so they were down for about a week.

EV Access works great on iPhone and Apple Watch after the App store update today.

Everything is back to normal now, their certificate expired. Funny I kept getting email notifications the whole time.

I am by no means bad at parallel parking, I have been doing it all my life in Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. I'm just saying the Mercedes system is very accurate and works well. I use it as a novelty but it is actually a little faster than my doing it myself and it takes much less...

Parking Assist was an unexpected option I got on a loaded B-Class, and I am pleased to say I use it quite often. When it presents itself, it is quite fast and accurate, allowing me to parallel park very very quickly and pay 100% attention to texting pedestrians who might be about to step into...

Oh yeah I almost forgot about the heated windshield which makes my radar detector useless. (I try to cram it up there with the EZ pass in the one clear area. ) When they start making the "green" EZ pass transponders in the smaller format...... The insulation in the roof? is whatever. For...

I just though about the fact that Mercedes could/should offer the Range Charge "Upgrade" after the fact for $600, it would be nothing more than a software patch for all those 2014 models that didn't have that option installed when new. All 2015 and 2016 Model Year B250e have the range package...
