I would prefer a CLA since it has much better aero. Give it 55kWh and fast charging and I would buy it. Of course, Model 3 will be out before M-B ever makes a car like that, so I'll probably just get the Tesla.Would sell better had they made it look like the GLA instead of uninspiring Eco-box
Different tastes.
Kind of a mini model x - kind of what I'm hoping the 3 will be.
Different tastes.
I think the GLA is an embarrassment to Mercedes. It's tiny, and when compared to the Audi and Porsche it apparently lines up against, it's appalingly ugly. Even bmw's new x3 knocks its socks off. GLA makes me think "Yugo." It seems a slapped together response to those cars.
The B class is a bit dowdy outside still, but much improved over previous iterations. And it's huge inside. Versatile and comfortable for 5. Kind of a mini model x - kind of what I'm hoping the 3 will be.
If Tesla sacrifices size and utility for appearance with the Model 3, I think it'll be a big disappointment for a LOT of people - not just me.
The publication cites that Tesla will still supply batteries to Mercedes-Benz; however, it is not known which vehicle model these supplies will serve.
However, we were also told at a B-Class launch event that the next-generation vehicle would include DC fast charging, and Webster echoed that statement, saying, “I would expect that down the road, our other vehicles will offer DC charging.”
Merged threads, and changed the thread name to 'Electric Drive' as that's how it appears in the literature now.the thread name was changed to list E-cell instead of "ED" as it did only a few months ago in my recollection.
That's right, it won't work for you. I have a friend with one. It is very comfortable and drives nicely. If you are thinking of buying rather than leasing, not too much more money and you can buy a CPO Model S.It looks like the range on the vehicle isn't great as I have a 135 mile commute one way.
I'm thinking about replacing my Prius with this EV. Anyone know much about the car?
Thanks!
The B-Class Electric doesn't have DC fast charging capability (and a range well under 100 miles), so if you have a 135-mile commute, I think it's a no-go.
But if you still want to learn more, here's a 1-month owner review.
It doesn't. Just like on the RAV4 EV, Tesla has included a single 10 kW charger (11 kW three-phase in Europe). So, yeah, he might get surprised. (Or he meant that he hadn't tried out higher power Level 2 yet.)The author of the linked review says he is looking forward to testing L3/DC charging. If the B doesn't support it, he is in for a big surprise.

That's quite a wide range of info that you want, and you wan to compare it to your Prius?
1) RANGE
Prius, hundreds of miles
Mercedes, about 100 miles
2) REFUEL TIME
Prius, 5 minutes anywhere worldwide with petroleum products
Mercedes, 3.5 hours with 50 amp / 240 volt wall electrical outlet (your electrician will have to install this, extra cost) and a 40 amp capable charge cord (extra cost, about $1000)
3) SIZE
Mercedes has more interior room by a significant measure
4) POWER
Mercedes has more power for acceleration by a significant margin
5) COST
Prius is far less costly to purchase
6) TOTAL COST OF OPERATION
a. Per Mile Cost - Prius with gasoline at $3 per gallon and 50mpg consumption rate = 6 cents per mile
Mercedes at 12 cents per kWh (national average, can vary widely) and 3 miles per kWh consumption rate = 4 cents per mile
b. Depreciation / Lease Payment Costs - all over the place... you'll have to compare real numbers. The Mercedes can be leased for around $400 per month for 36 months, or about $14,400 plus your local taxes and fees. The Prius can be leased for much less.
c. Maintenance Costs - if both are within warranty, only the Prius will have oil change costs. One special note: Mercedes annual checkup cost is the ripoff of a lifetime. I would take the car elsewhere for normal service (replace cabin air filter, rotate tires, check windshield washer fluid, etc). Only bring it to Mercedes dealers if there is NO OTHER CHOICE.
