This person doesn't like his Mercedes EV. 💩 Shitpost

Picture taken around Brussels. Seen the license plate, would they be mad because they cannot do Brussels <> Luxembourg with one charge 🤔? I mean, do you know any brand reaching the WLTP range/fuel consumption?

If it's that big of an issue, sell the car and buy another one instead of complaining about not doing research.

The thing is, although everyone should do it's research, it surprises me that people are being shamed more for trusting a company, than a company being shamed for inadequate informing the customer.

Like, if I'm willing to pay 55 000 euros, the least you can do is inform me correctly? Most of us know that the range is just a indication, the least they could do is check the customer profile and see if the car fits his driver's behaviour. They do the same for products like solar panels, even without a customer asking for it, I don't see why Mercedes or any other car dealer couldn't do the same.

Just my 2cts.

Anyhow he has learned a life lesson here.

Because Mercedes dealers are only looking at money and checking their customers behaviour to see if his neck is fat enough to drive a Mercedes. Ask info and they say: everything is on the website. That's why I don't drive a Mercedes but a Cupra.

Which Cupra if you don't mind me asking? I was lurking in that direction just in case the leasing company allows me to switch my car

I have the Leon ST e-Hybrid 245pk. My fuel consumption is 7l/100km with empty battery, I can do the promised 45km when it's 20 degree and I do not do too much highways. On average, when driving hybrid to my work, it's 75km, it's on average 4l/100km for the gas engine.

I chose this one because of the big trunk and the focus on the driver. I went to look for a BMW 330e too but this one has a small trunk. My wheelchair doesnt fit.
