I think the departure time ( on the app) helps if you set it at least an hour in advance. Otherwise you start with a dead cold battery.

That's a good one, this winter weather really caught me by surprise -- even though I took delivery of my car last December.... I guess I did a lot of range charges last winter. Yesterday I swear I drove 4-5 miles and was down to 80% for a starting point of 97%. I noticed my car isn't...

Yes I completed it too it was a good survey, seems very legit.

Stretch2727 has it right. It is general battery "health" and status. I routinely drive to below 25% and it seems to begin to drop from Max around that point. In winter if I forget to pre-condition the battery is cold and it is also below Max. I have never over-heated the battery.

It's to control how the battery is used. When you deplete a battery to zero or overcharge it to 100% and keep charging it ("boiling" the chemistry) you severely degrade its battery life. Manufacturers need to guarantee the battery performance over the life of the battery warranty. They have...

I've had the YELLOW Visit Workshop and RED Stop Vehicle See Operators Manual warning a total of 3 times -- mostly in October. No shifting into neutral, no drama. The vehicle continued driving as normal.. So I would pull over, turn off the car, lock it, unlock it, and turn back on again...

Yes! Exactly leousa the Mercedes offers the combination of value/comfort/luxury/style/sportiness that can;t be found in any other product. And other than the obvious recall, very reliable. My other cars on my list were BMW i3, Toyota RAV4 EV (not available in NYC), and Tesla (not affordable)...

If you look at the recall notice the software "fix" isn't ready until December 1st. So if I were you -- and your car continues to have the problem, ask for an extended loaner car (30 days) and keep the miles off your B-Class ED. RECALL STATUS: Recall INCOMPLETE. Remedy not yet available...

But if you look it says: Recall INCOMPLETE. Remedy not yet available. Dec 01, 2015 242 POWERTRAIN SFTWR - Powertrain gateway update.. So I don't think they have the software fix yet/ FYI. So you will need to take your car in again in December. SUMMARY DAG has determined that in rare...

I agree it is very hard to bang them down but it does work. I had a very strong family member use his fist as a hammer (not recommended) and he did each rear headrest in about 3 blows) (I was unable to do it myself -- maybe I was being too careful?) Mine have been flush with the top of the...

I wish they would actually give the software revision number information to the owners -- that way we could be aware of a. what software our cars are currently flashed with b. what the software revision coming in December is called that fixes the problem. Also maybe we could be helpful...

I look at the app-- on my iPhone or laptop. I also have an app called EV Access which is in beta testing for iOS and Apple Watch. it updates every fifteen minutes or so. The car does not communicate in real time, but you do see the progress when you glance at your watch. (And in general you...

Interesting they are saying the patch is from Tesla..... is that a PR thing? because as far as I know the RAV4 EV and the B-Class have this issue, but the Model S did not ever have this exact issue. So was it Tesla code or Mercedes code or a shared responsibility?

Also the recall says the fix is coming in December, do they have the patch ready to install already? Since my B-Class doesn't have the issue, and I got a software upgrade mid -year when I went in for a tire, I'm going to wait until December. My car is a 2014 MY purchased 12/30/2014. 12,000...

I would not buy a 16Amp charger for a car that can charge at up to 40 Amps. the 32Amp Clipper Creek/Chargepoint seem like a good compromise if you don't want to spend the money or don;t have the 50 Amp outlet capable of supporting 40Amp Jesla.

Just making sure, as with the annual battery certification (desiccant cartridge replacement), you were not charged any money by the dealer, correct?

There is a full recall on all B-Class -- see this webpage: http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Recalls+&+Defects ALL B-Class manufactured this far have been affected, and the fix is all SOFTWARE.

Once the colder weather sets in you will be shocked at the 35% range decrease. Cabin heating and battery heating is the biggest energy consumer but in general you can't do anything about it . You will get nowhere near 100 miles range per day, more like 65-85 miles.

Oh ok, I'll just wait I guess.

Strange, so you only have P, R, N and D, not D-, D+ or D-Auto? Try the shift selector.
