We have both a 2014 Mercedes GL350 BlueTEC (for towing an Airstream Bambi) and a 2018 MX (6 seats), and the two big things that differentiate the two (one has NOT been mentioned): 1. The full wide access to the second row WITHOUT needing 3 feet of clearance. I’ve had to pull the GL partially...

I have a 2014 Mercedes GL and a 2018 MX, for me the Mercedes has WAY harder cushions. The MX is quite supple and hugs my curves. And the ride on the MX is SOOOOO much more comfortable over bumps than the Mercedes. As for narrow, I’ve never noticed; I assumed seat widths were somewhat...

+1 CO Proud. Hate walking into my garage only to have to go back for the key. At your home location, should be able to turn off auto-lock.

@OP, great suggestion. I think a LOT of features should be smarter, e.g. in non-Tesla vehicles, there’s already a pressure sensor that deactivates the front passenger airbag; why not let a passenger program the navigation. (Tesla at least does not nanny-nag Navi programming.) But it does strike...

Same issue here, picked up 12.2018, a small rivulet of water poured down from the seal near the top hinge of the FWD. I’ll have to make an appointment. But since it almost never rains in SoCal, may not get around to it, if I’m being honest.

Does your car have air suspension? Are you set to very low height?

@hingisfan this worked for me as well!!! Happened to my 2015 MS without power lift gate this week. Thanks for posting!

This was helpful, but pushing the switch car button doesn’t actually do anything for me. Still stuck on the same car.

@VladB and @hiroshiy, I think between the two of you and VladB's mobile service technician, you may have figured out something a LOT of us have been experiencing (it's been driving me mildly bonkers too). I think the MX's sensors tell it whether or not it's inside a garage at the home location...

Wow, this is both awesome for you guys getting the price adjustments and depressing for me who didn't when they lowered my MX price by $2500 in mid-July (raised base price $3500 but included Premium Upgrade Package which cost me $6000). My DS said I would lose my $2500 deposit and have to wait...

I can't 100% guarantee my 2015 MS steering wheel is genuine leather, but it IS shinier than it was when new, has a few scratches on it, and feels substantial, doesn't feel fake. My 2018 MX steering wheel doesn't feel solid, feels cheap and spongy. My 2-month old MX 100D was totaled in an...

I was in a 4-car pileup on 10.30.2018 in my 2018 MX 100D (picked up new on 8.30.2018, totaled literally 2 months later). I really needed dash cam footage so the wrong party wouldn't get blamed, but was only able to get an unreadable file from the dash cam. Of course, I did not have my USB stick...

I beg to differ with those claiming standard genuine leather. I took delivery of MX 100D in late August 2018, and mine DEFINITELY has vegan leather wrapped wheel. Feels spongy and totally different from the genuine leather wrap of my 2015 MS. BTW, anyone know where I can get my steering wheel...

@jorobsand, I looked at the TopFit one (DAERIK did a vlog post about it), but it covers up the rest of the center console; we use the large cupholders a lot. My wife always has a huge Hydroflask in there, plus our two coffees.

The 1G 40A mobile connector is a LOT thicker than the 32A 2G mobile connector. I still think the mobile connectors are overpriced compared to the HPWC which is now down to $500, $20 less than the 1G mobile connector.
