Looks stunning.
I gave a few people a lift last month and they were very complimentary of the comfort level in the back seats. Not something I get to experience myself, but nice to hear!

My C350E is 50% charged or so but won't engage the electric drive or allow me to select E-Mode and is solely running on petrol. Any ideas how to sort this? Had the car for 4K miles and issue started this evening.
After three years of charging the weight of the block finally took its toll on the plug cable, surely a design fault to place them so close together. After a three week delivery time from Germany MB have now provided a replacement charging block (there is a greater gap between the plug and the block) it has a longer cable and looks very impressive in black and silver with better warning lights including temperature.
Any news when the c400e will be available to configure or order in the UK?

Problem hasn’t resolved itself this morning so popped to Mercedes. Car was giving a faulty temperature check, was disabling the battery and running the fan. They’ve done the equivalent of a hard reset and that seems to have solved the problem (touch wood).
Hi,
A year into ownership and I regret not specifying the optional extra of Bill Gates to help with the electronics. So all of a sudden the command display shows a little car with blue radar. What’s that all about? I’ve looked through the manual and other stuff but to no avail.
Now if I was Bill Gates I’d say it was something to do with the sat nav. Anyway any info please.
And another thing! I’ve worked out how to get text messages but how do you get Hans or Olga to read them out.
Much appreciated

Sounds like the WiFi symbol. I don't suppose you have a pic?
What are they playing at? If they really want to offer electric vehicles, they have to offer connectivity as a core part of the proposition or they will be competing with Kia and Hyundai instead of Porsche and Tesla.

It’s the worst sort of penny-pinching isn’t it. I was aware that the services expire after 3 years, they just seem to be finding any way possible to monetise everything they can.
I’ve said it before, the cars are like laser printers, they make the money selling toner.

I will point out that your car contains a 3G or 4G modem that is connected to a mobile network. You try buying a sim card that remains connected and useable for a £30 one off payment.

Indeed, but given the price of the car, they could have extended the included period to longer than 3 years. Maybe throw it in if one has a service contract perhaps, some kind of gesture would have been nice.
How much data does the car actually use though? I’m not sure there’s a £2.50 per month tariff out there, but if there was, it would probably have about a gigabyte of data per month and I doubt the car uses much more than a megabyte per month.

I understand from the MB service manager that the systems are 3G, which of course means an annual charge becomes somewhat moot after 2020 when it gets switched off in the UK. Unless it can downgrade and operate on 2G?
Ah, no of course, another opportunity to sell us an upgrade. Silly me.....

Yep. It’s been wrong a few times this summer. And quite trigger happy as well - when someone has pulled over and not got out immediately, the unlocked message has come quite quickly.

I’ve got a similar symbol, which appeared without explanation. My blue “radar” graphic emanates from the car though. How do you get texts?
The car with the blue lines just appeared.
Texts can be found when the telephone screen is on. If you have android any text whilst you are in the car shows via an envelope. Then flick to the bottom of the screen to the envelope and open. The text is available. For apple you have to go into settings, here’s a link
But I can’t get voice activication to read them out.
