    My GT DCFC charging experience

    10 4…another question, since you guys are so good at responding with great comments and information. Question: I leave my car in my parking garage for five months in the winter. It was charged Jan 2, to about 80%.. The car has been idle since then. I check the milage frequently and it is...

    My GT DCFC charging experience

    Got it…I think. Sounds like keeping the charging (on any charging system) up to or below 80% SoC is the most important factor with battery degradation. And, as you point out, charging at high levels 250-350 never occurs in the wild. At least, I have never seen these levels. All of you folks...

    My GT DCFC charging experience

    Thanks for the rapid replies…I live in a condo. I need to deal with the HOA and its complicated and expensive…eventually I will install one. I think that I have the answer to my question. (Maybe it’s bad, maybe not so much). My circumstances have worked well with very few issues. I love the...

    My GT DCFC charging experience

    I have a question that I hope someone can help me with…I use EA Fast DC chargers near my home. They are very reliable. However, I have never seen anything near 350 output, it normally begins charging at about 150-200. It drops rapidly after that. But I’m still OK with it. My question is: I...

    my test drive at the LA Auto Show

    I own both the GT Air and a MBS560 …I agree with most of the first time test driver/reviewer. Merc interior, IMO. is much nicer and luxury. Much better messaging seats. Exterior, for me, is a tossup. Driving dynamics, hands down the GT. I love driving it. The GT was delivered Sept ’22. I...

    Clunking creaking sound while driving

    Thanks for your reply. Same diagnosis and fix…they checked the other fasteners and said they were good. I haven’t driven the car much since the fix, so I hope this is a permanent fix. I have another creaking/clinking in the back seat area. They said they found it, but they hadn’t. It’s...

    Clunking creaking sound while driving

    I have a new problem...the car makes loud clunking/creaking sounds constantly while driving over any uneven pavement. Like something is loose. I see nothing hanging/detached from underneath the car, and nothing is loose with the front bumper or side molding. But it is NOT right...

    Face / Pay Attention warning

    So glad I tuned in! The NAG is driving me crazy and distracted...I often wear sunglasses when driving, maybe that is a problem. But it will be disabled.

    Yes, begins as soon as I put my foot on the brake pedal. It's been doing this since Friday. Meeting the truck today. They are taking it to the service center. I'm hoping for a quick fix. Snow and freezing rain begins tonight in the PNW. Hope it can be returned ASAP. Thanks for the reply.

    Didn't think of calling service...oh wait, did that. On Friday, 4:30PM. Talked with Service, sent them photos and then silence....apparently they are closed on weekends. Awaiting them to share the protocol from here. It's parked...in the meantime, driving the S560...lovely machine. Glad I...

    Software Bugs

    While driving yesterday, the car began flashing "Brake Fault" warnings and a very obnoxious donging sound. The car drives without any apparent issues, including braking and regen braking. Has anyone experienced this issue? If so, what was the solution? Timing to repair?
