If you watch the Mercedes video on you tube the lady says that "with the average UK road trip being 20 miles something per day you will not need to recharge very often..." this seems to be a contradiction to what NMM says about short trips range.
Also, I spoke to a Sales manager of my dealer that drives the same car and he told me in his short commuting daily trips he gets more than 200 miles, bu this colleagues that commutes on motorway does not get more than 180 miles.
it is good to read that some of you have had the car reset, I don't understand if the reset has a lasting effect or not ?
Such an expensive car and with such a power is wasted when you have to drive it always watching the range and try not use the heating. I think Mercedes has conned us all, they should state a lot more clearly that the range advertised in certain specific conditions is nowhere near what you really get on the road.
not to mention that charging the car vs the real range becomes a very expensive exercise, particularly if you use rapid chargers. at my first attempt using a fast charger with the Mercedes me card, I was overcharged by £ 5 which I had to send a few email to get rectified and then despite the discount I realised that by using the Mercedes me card I paid 30% more per KW compared to the tariff charged by the provider to Pay As You Go customers. I raised this with Mercedes and they told me that the advantage of the Mercedes me card is to have one single bill ! like if that justifies pay 30% of the worst tariff the providers offers. I asked to escalate the complaint but no answer as yet. Beware of what you get charged, compare the Mercedes me with the actual providers tariffs, as otherwise Mercedes overcharges you !
