You know what the rent is like in that building? It's like they are working on your car in a museum. A glass museum. I love going to that dealership.

I love my 2014 B-Class ED. 16k miles, no issues. I am on a 3 year/36k mile lease No battery degradation, range is 68 miles in winter storms, 110 miles in summer. Worst ever was 62 miles on range charge driving in a blizzard. Pre-conditioning helps in winter, but I won't drive without cabin...

They offered $50 check in the mail for a 15 minute survey about the car/car ownership. I suspect they are trying to solidify the specs for the next generation Mercedes ELC -- the successor to the B250e. I think they wanted to know if AWD / dual motor was important, and range/winter performance...

400V refers to European 3-phase 230V. You will not be able to charge any faster in Europe than in the USA, the maximum charge rate for this car is determined by the OBC (On Board Charger) which is 9.6 kW (9600 watts) at 240 volts which is 40 Amps. There is no DCFC (DC Fast Charge) option...

To further explain the 400v it is a European thing -- it is 3-phase 208v which ends up being 11 kW charging, a little higher than 10 kW charging we get tin the USA with 2-phase 240v. 3 phase voltage in "IEC" countries ( essentially everywhere but North America) used to range from anywhere...

I want to know is it fun to drive? Is there instant torque at any RPM and that whoosh push you feel when you step on the accelerator of an EV? -W

I'm putting down a deposit in person at the Tesla store in White Plains, NY March 31st. I've always wanted an actual Tesla, I could never get the price low enough on the Model S. (Financing, leasing -- I looked at it long and hard and couldn't justify the price.) The Mercedes B-Class ED has...

So to make sure we are all on the same page, when GlennD says "#10 wiring is good for 30A." He means 30 Amp Breaker, but you are only good for UP TO 24 Amp charging. You need that extra 20% capacity for safety. With your existing wiring , look for Level 2 chargers that charge up to 24 Amp...

You have to come up with a L2 charging setup, and experiment with Range Charge in colder weather. Also reset three screens -- Trip Odometer, From Start, From Reset. You can even buy a Quick 220 systems setup and use two 120v outlets on 20 Amp circuits that come from opposite sides on the house...

Yes you can reset Service A yourself in the dashboard computer with steering wheel buttons and yes the battery certification is free. Zero dollars. Free. You may have to call MBUSA CAC customer assistance center. Mention name William Tzouris and ask them to look up the notes. They may...

I agree with what TheStig said, 6 gauge and a 50 Amp Breakers to be ready for the Tesla, but if you have only 10 gauge right now there are some 16 Amp and 24 Amp options. If you have a 6-20 outlet already on a 20 Amp breaker, just run an additional 6 gauge wire and 50 Amp breaker --( keep both...

You can get an EVSE with 6-20 plug that charges at 16 Amps/240v. That is 3.8 kW. The B-class can do up to 10kW. Your 6-20 outlet is most likely on a 20 Amp breaker so this is the safest way to go unless you are getting an electrician to put in a 14-50R outlet on a 50 Amp breaker. That is what...

Wish away, but I wouldn't hold your breath. With the price of gasoline right now? Mercedes designed the B-Class ED on a budget for CARB compliance (California) and it will be interesting to see if they do a second generation version with their own battery system and motor like they say there...

Translation: we have no f*(&^(*&^ng clue. So we re-flashed the software. I ignore warnings like that unless they happen repeatedly. I'm 15 months in on a 36 month lease, and my goal is to go to the dealer once at the two year mark for the FREE annual battery certification and then at 36...

Interesting fact about the 5-20 plug adaptor for Jesla and being able to use that at 240 volts AC, 16 amps. Still, I'm not crazy about making/owning an adaptor that puts 240 volts on a socket that is normally 120 volt type - even if clearly marked "caution" The receptacle will accept 5-15 Plug...

So what does it look like? You go into reverse, and it there a button you press to see a wider angle?

JeffRay does that CD mount rub the Volume knob? I bought a similar one and it rubbed the volume knob and would not let me turn it.

It's harder and harder to stand your ground on personal information. Especially when they set up the computer program to "require the info" to complete the page. It's not personal, it's just ignorance. I think all dealership-based experiences are terrible. I look forward to dealing...
