Mercedes


And I bring you the joy of Mercedes and MS Teams:

To those downvoting my perfectly succinct answer to the question, I urge you to drive one of the newer Mercedes EVs. After my Tesla nightmare I moved on to Mercedes and it was night and day.


The EVs (from any mainstream manufacturer that began with ICE products) are all fairly immature. My AMG E53 (cabriolet) is a hybrid, and I can tolerate that. It gives me an extra 100+HP when I punch it, but I wonder how long the battery is going to last. The electric power plant adds more than 500lbs to the car, but the car still performs very well. (The car is five years old now.) I like that I can drive over 400 miles on a tank of gas, and I like that I have no trouble finding a gas station, and that it takes only a few minutes to fill the tank.

I'm looking forward to the time when an EV can give me all of these things, and I'll eagerly purchase one when that happens.

I bought this car after owning a high-end BMW. I was looking for a car that performs well, but is very reliable.

It has been a great car, and it cost only 66% of the price that Vicken paid for his Volvo EX90.


For those of us who do not want a car more expensive than our house, is Mercedes an option?


Did you look at the Volvo EX90 price range?


I googled. Starting from 81,200 USD and 85.250 EUR. I can fit my car almost 6 times in there.
