    Just an update and a closeout to this thread. received the car on 22nd October and absolutely delighted with it. Augmented reality was missing due to chip shortage but they have said they will recall it when they get stock.

    Looking to buy a GLE 350de. Can it really be as good as the reviews say?

    Yes, it arrived last week and very nice it is too! On my commute it’s getting just over 40 miles on a charge which is enough to get there and back, just. I think it will be a lot better in the warm and on a straight road.

    Build dates gle 350de

    Dealer phoned me yesterday. They are expecting delivery in early November and we’ve started talking finance. Thanks to Covid, there’s a lot more equity left in my current W205 350e than we were expecting but this compensates for the fact that there is no wiggle room at all on the deal for the GLE

    I suspect that this fact alone is why electric range is so much less in the cold. Even preheating the car, the heater still needs to run, all be it, at a low level.

    Build dates gle 350de

    I ordered a Prem Plus GLE 350de a couple of weeks ago. They are talking about delivery in mid September. They haven't sorted the finance yet because a lot can change in 6 months... They have agreed to give me my £1000 back if they can't come to a deal that I like closer to delivery.

    Looking to buy a GLE 350de. Can it really be as good as the reviews say?

    I've been made a very good offer by my Local Dealer for a brand new GLE 350de AMG line Prem Plus. I can't find a bad review on the internet which is very unusual. Does anyone have one? Please tell me that they are the exception to the "too good to be true" rule?

    I have a Homepod and it gives me a report, on a day by day basis. Generally, a full charge is recorded as 4.4 or 4.5kWhr. This has always been the case and I've noticed no change over 2 years/25kmiles. I judge it so that I'm on 10% indicated when I get home. My suspicion is that, while the...

    To be honest, the biggest effect on range comes from whether I sit behind a lorry at 50mph on the way into work or not!

    C350e Advice & Opinions!

    There's also the dedicated thread on this forum... C350e owners club I've had mine two years. Done 24,000 miles. I have a 20 mile commute each way each day and, probably, do 300 miles on longer trips each month. I charge at home and at work and average 57mpg since I've had the car. I've...

    You can’t rotate them on the 350e as they are directional and different sizes on the front and back. I got 13k out of my first set of rears and there’s still life in the fronts at 22k

    I think it’s the default after some kind of reset. Mine said 19miles when I picked it up new and it’s never said it again!

    Started a conversation with Mercedes on chopping in my two year old C350e estate for a brand new C300de estate. The extra electric mileage makes sense for my 20mile commute and the diesel will give much better economy on long haul. As usual, my local dealer doesn’t really understand the option...
