Battery Test 3

same journey - used 34% again - consistent conditions and usage.

I had to go to the MCC Town hall yesterday and drove in on the remainder of battery from drive to work and charged up at Manchester central and drove back to work.

On way home i switched between hybrid and charge and the charge rate was very quick so used minimal petrol and was able to get home mostly on battery.

Slowly getting the hand of this !!

Mine booked in for a software update to finally get the outside temperature. Excellent support from the Parts Manager, service and sales teams at MB Chelmsford.

Im hoping that when mine comes (on Tuesday) that the software update will have been sorted and i will be able to see the outside temp....I've noticed on the UK standard equipment list for the c class that it lists the outside temperature display as standard across all model lines. Not sure if that has always been there but hopefully MB have listened to customer feedback and will have sorted this so that new deliveries dont need to return their vehicles for this update.

yes you did - excuse my stupidity! remember seeing it now. Fantastic looking car, and I love the colour, really suits the estate.

All being well this time next week, I will be sitting in mine! Also just been told via the NHS Fleet Team that there should be no issues with the connect me app/services (i think a few people have had some problems getting this activated).

 

[FrankH]

Sounds good - yours a saloon Dr Pat?

you will have to take a pic!

I am hoping to sign up for the connect at the weekend

trying to get my head around this mornings figures.
Last night car was 100% charged.
Pre-climate so that I can leave at 7.05 (although I normally leave about 7.15)
When I checked at 7.10 the car was at 85% with 10 miles.
My journey to work is 12.
Managed exactly the same distance as I usually do when the car is 100%.

Answers on a postcard!!!!

 

[Dr Pat]

yes, mine is the saloon. Brilliant blue, premium plus, black leather, ILS, HUD, surround camera system, driver support pack and tinted rear windows. Been waiting just over 7 months, but this last week seems to has dragged more!!

had a call from the dealer yesterday, Wednesday now instead of Tuesday, at least its not a week or a month!!

 

[FrankH]

I dont think the miles relate to the percentage - the battery keeps going even though the miles are gone - so not sure how the correlate!

Camera showing 360 around the car. Not just rear Camera.

Is there anybody out there?

 

[FrankH]

wow sounds good - i have just the rear cam

yes, that's the one. as well as the rear camera, I also think it has cameras in the wing mirrors and on the front, so you can get a view from any of these angles, or a birds eye view using all of them at the same time. This video gives you an idea

Ok people, I am in Stuttgart picking up my own brand new estate next week.
Since pickup is at factory, there is a big chance I will take pictures.
I will not be allowed to take pictures inside the factory itself, but everything else will be open.
Do you want pictures, and If so of what?
