Underwear. Most likely going to need to replace those.

Yup, you definitely have owned a w212 in Texas. Lol. I’m about to run cleaner on my a/c and dry the evaporator coil. As for the Tesla, I think the employee who took us on the test drive didn’t know about that. I can certainly say that I was more than comfortable in the drivers seat.

If you change cars every couple of years, the answer is no. Is it ultimately saving you money? I’d say so over the long term which is why I’m placing an order. Over 5 years factoring initial cost, maintenance, charging, and depreciation, a base 3 is cheaper to own than a Toyota Camry. That being...

Mercedes uses a material called MB Tex for their seats. It’s not leather, but it is certainly comfortable, and incredibly durable. I’ve had four Mercedes, and every one of them held up remarkably well. I love the seats in my car, as well as fit and finish of the other interior aspects, so I...

That’s what I’m looking for precisely! Thanks!

Considering Houston is typically hotter than Dallas, I'll take that as a plus. My wife who is south of 5ft tall said she felt it was warm in the back seat on the test drive, but being in Texas, the first thing I’d do is tint the windows when I took delivery.

So jealous of the wagon! Love those, especially the E63. Ultimate sleeper. Thanks for your input!

Nope. You bring no value to the conversation. I’m asking a question of Model 3 owners, not Mercedes or I’d ask myself.

Sell private party if you want the best return. You’ll be able to float a rental in between selling and delivery. You could also do a lower down payment, and then throw a chunk at it when you sell your current vehicle. Refi later if your payment is too high.

So I’ve test driven the SR+ RWD and the Performance. They didn’t have the ER AWD when I was scheduled to drive it. The SR+ RWD seems like a good commuter, but it was somewhat lacking. They gave me the performance model, and set it on chill mode, and told me it would be like the ER AWD. It felt...

Tell me how you really feel.

I am starting to feel that way about my E Class. I haven’t taken it to the track, because it’s not a track car. If it were an E63, it would be a different story. However, when it comes to evasive maneuvers, my car has not let me down. 10 years ago, Mercedes was ahead of the game. Today, they are...

You’re missing the point of my question, as well as my other responses.

Right, I’m not debating that. I had a few C Class, and I have missed how tossible they are. The E Class is firm, and confidence inspiring in a different way. Since my budget (and wife) don’t allow for a model S, I am getting a model 3. Part of what I was trying to drive home in a previous...

I am working on a solution for that beyond tint. Otherwise, the car will be in the garage at home and the parking garage at my office. I had a triple black Porsche Boxster that taught me to think about the weather. I’m buying white on white with the Tesla as well.
