Thought most charging stations are in a covered car park !

My car only comes with the charging cable with 3 pin plug. This cable cannot be used on those charging box in charging stations according to my SA.

But after 28 km the car will switch bk to fuel rite?

Depending on which drive mode (Sport+, Sport, Comfort & Eco) and operating mode (Hybrid, E-mode, E-Save & Charge) u select.

Use Sport+ or Sport drive mode will only use petrol.

Use Comfort/Eco + Hybrid, will use battery and petrol.

Use Comfort/Eco + E-mode, will use battery only. Will switch to Hybrid mode when low battery level.

Use Comfort + E-save, will use petrol only and maintain battery level.

Use Comfort + Charge, will use petrol only and charge battery level.

Just to share my C350e mileage for a full tank of petrol with the combination of hybrid n e-mode. It show 818km with at least 100km reserve fuel. Hence I will assume easily it can achieve 900++km for a full tank petrol.  This is achieved based on a daily charge from home at night, morning drive to office (31km fr home), recharge at office parking, driving back home fr office.  Overall I m happy with the mileage achieved, but it requires a lot of discipline on stepping on the pedal, depend on what you think, some may think that this is not the way to drive a mercs.  Hope this sharing helps.

Some people have high expectations that the battery can last very long after full charge but in actual fact it can only drive around 25-30km. Its good that you can recharge at the office parking.

That's definitely possible with consistent charging every night and a daily travel distance of <40-50km which means most of the distance travelled is using the built-in battery.

And need to control our right foot.

Lol. I’m opposite, I prefer to use electric coz the drive is so serene and peaceful. That’s how an expensive car should be. Why can’t they make it longer mileage in electric? Haiz
*
Yes, it is very silent indeed. Sometimes I can't even tell whether it is started or off, lol..
Nowadays i will try to control abit coz my tyre just got a small rip and it buldge. The SC said it must have went through a pothole but the funny thing was the rim dont have any scratch. In the end had to change it. Just drove 1 month and need to change the tyre already, zzz..

If they increase the mileage our C350e means smaller boot space. Currently is already very small. But EV cars nowadays can run 300-500mileage on a single charge. U can consider full EV for your next car.

+100 most sound advice ever given.

Unfortunately many luxury car owners fail to realize this until it's too late; if one really wants to mod, best do it after the warranty has lapsed.

Take for example the C350e's hybrid battery alone costs RM 60,000 & the each airmatic suspension is RM 15,000. LED High Performance headlamps are about RM 10k per piece while LED Intelligent headlamps are easily double.

Those with special arrangements with an SA from a particular SC are also at risk; since the final approver of warranty claims come from MBM.
So best to follow protocols and ensure all consented mods made by an SC have a paper trail.

Merc, like any foreign automaker will try to scrutinize the situation to their advantage, so it's best to use the car as originally intended - Luxury Sedan & not a Tuner.
*
My SA told me the hybrid battery cost Rm40k, lol.. My SA also told me not to mod anything including the tint because it there is any issue, it will void the WHOLE car's warranty, zzz.. He also told me better change the tyres in their SC but i dont like Continental tyres. Now i am wondering should i install a locktech foot lock on my car since keyless tech is vunerable to theft. Probably need to check with my SA.

Wow the fuel consumption for some of you are just crazy... i just got my c350e for less then 1 week already pump 2 times hahahaha. And i charge it every chance i get.

But on other note, i tested in a short distance max speed is about 213km/h, maybe for longer distance or with downhill i can get higher speed... but anyone manage to go higher?

By the way, Any of you have good suggestion where to wash your car? Mine is white so Im a little more careful of not sending it to those normal indian car wash to avoid scratch.

The SA have given me free tinting and coating but Im considering to do it myself also cause i feel like the quality is so so only. Any good recommendations guys?

I purchased coating from Hup Seng so have two free car wash every week in Hup Seng.

No lah, if rich, already buy new car from HSS or C&C lor... It's just that it's a bit hard for us to get financing  whistling.gif
Anyhow, we managed to get a gently-used, 2017 C250 AMG line (7-Gtronic), for RM220k. So still have the COMAND online infotainment system with the 8.4' screen, I don't think that we can bear the new 9-Gtronic model, but with the downgraded basic audio + 7' screen and all.

Just one question to all the sifus here though, can we change the tyre to non run-flats (even though we still have 3 years warranty left)?
*
U can change to non run flat but don't spoilt any sensors or else whole car warranty void. This is what the SA told me.

My batch of C250 came with non Run flat tyres! Just make sure one pump the right pressure to get the best grip!

Mine is run flat. I followed the recommended (min pressure). Drove less than 2 days, tyre got a buldge and ripped. SC claimed i hit a pothole. But there was no scatch on the rims. Now i also dono which tyre pressure to follow.

Yea, i understand but the salesman told me that theres no warranty for any damages on your windscreen or anti fog system if its caused by third party. Its quite a concern. I was offered for half price tinting about 1.7k which comes with 5 years warranty + JPJ compliance assurance and a free coating which requires maintenance twice a year.
*
Ya Salesman quite good already. My Salesman say if any damages caused by third party including tint or change tire, the whole car warranty will be voided.

Good point. I think we'll stick with coating & tinting package from HSS. Plus, we got a good deal on the car.

Got free car wash every week for the coating?
