FCP is likely genuine and has a lifetime warranty. They also carry the Bosch
plugs for $8.29 each.
Ebay is caveat emptor. No telling what they are.

Hi all,
I am getting ready to replace the spark plugs on my daughter's 2011 C300
4Matic and have a spark plug question:
I purchased 6 Genuine Mercedes Spark Plugs from FCP Euro for $86.00. I then
saw on Ebay 6 Genuine Mercedes Benz Spark Plugs for my car for $21.00 and
decided to
Not practical for EVs currently in the US you mean...

That would certainly be the way to go, but considering the bulk and location of
most batteries, short of a major re-engineering, it’s not practical on current
EVs. Someone with some serious design engineering chops should have taken this
on already, I would think.

I think eventually battery swaps will be widespread. Way better even than
"rapid" charging stations, which take 30 minutes at best.

AFAIK they're 18650 cells and can in fact be replaced. Its not something an
idiot like me can do but there are those who do it...
Speaking of automotive battery swaps this showed up in my email today:

I recall seeing people replacing individual cells on Prius batteries in the
past. It looked tedious and time-consuming to troubleshoot, but ultimately a
far less expensive venture if it’s just a few cells…

Saturday Night Live's commercial parody of the Mercedes "AA" class is
very amusing. But if the 18650 cells in an EV _could_ be treated like in
that commercial, EV's could be both practical and efficient over the long haul.

Battery technology is still continuing to improve. I agree it's still
experiemental, even though there are technologies in mass production, it's
still "early adopter" stuff in reality. I personally plan to wait at least
another 5 years or so before seriously considering an EV for any purpose.
I'm thinking that EV batteries need to be modules not some monolithic
thing, a cell module goes bad, pop another one like a H8 in and be on
your way. They are just a big pack of like bigger D cells anyway, all
linked together, so it's not like one or some couldn't be replaced.

This all supports what I have been saying all along. EVs are essentially
experimental at this point in time. The "in" people who need to be seen
in the latest trendy things want one but most of us think they will be
more trouble than they are worth. We are correct, but, time may well
change
But essentially, the life of the battery is the life of the vehicle. It's not
cost-effective to replace them.
Especially as cars are not engineered for easy battery replacement. In fact the
opposite, the battery is designed to be part of the structure of the car.
If an EV battery has a life of
Realtor colors but pretty low miles. Rebuilt title, would need to check into
the cause of that.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that EV battery life has been racially
UNDERestimated.

Exactly the point. Out of warranty so new battery was many $ks

Didn't watch this but if the issue was that the battery pack needed to be
replaced, that basically totals the car on an EV unless it's under warranty.

Another reason to not drive an EV?
It still comes back to a PPI and due diligence.
