OK - the text: The Mercedes 500E Is the Greatest Benz Porsche Ever Built Porsche’s first production sedan was a Mercedes-Benz. BY MIKE DUFF History is written by the victors; so are most autobahn stories. Yet, my abiding memory of Mercedes’s epoch-defining sport sedan came as an onlooker

[MBZ] EV AMG

I got all my chores done, so I sat down to watch The Masters, which is being brought to me by Mercedes. They just had a commercial for an AMG that is an EV. They quoted some crazy horsepower values, but I wasn’t paying attention. There just seems to be something foundationally wrong when you

[MBZ] No drama S550 collection

A friend drove me up to Columbia this morning to collect the $2500 09S550 4matic, 146kmi.  In looking at the specs it is pretty much a base model (although the Sonder-klasse is quite well appointed), no real options except for 4matic. Did that no problem although the battery was a little weak

Re: [MBZ] Today's Chuckle

I watched a utuber vid from this Aussie guy MGUY who has gone on a total rant about EVs.  He had one on about the Hertz EVs they were renting, and they had to be returned with 90% charge and if not you would get charged (see what I did there) for the charge to capacity, kinda like the usurious

Re: [MBZ] Today's Chuckle

Tesla owners have also faced higher-than-expected depreciation, made worse by Tesla cutting prices on new vehicles as sales have fallen off. On Fri, Apr 12, 2024, at 12:39, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: > Probably b/c their list price is ridiculously high. I drove a loaner > Mercedes EV

Re: [MBZ] Today's Chuckle

Probably b/c their list price is ridiculously high. I drove a loaner Mercedes EV SUV that was quite well decked out, with 185 mile range and regenerative braking. I drove 4 miles but used only 2 miles of range due to this feature. For the $95K asking price I would have expected a range of 300+
