Haha yeah, this is a pretty small town. I’m surprised they have one that’s not at a dealership already. The Walmart would be nice but I’d never use it, if I bought an EV. I’d already have a charger at home for waaaay cheaper.

See if turning off Eco Charging helps the time. That’s Mercedes being “smart” and charging at a slower rate because your grid isn’t green right now. If you bought one you’d want to put an L2 box in.

Yeah, I juuuust plugged it in at 44% and this is what it’s reading. TUESDAY. ? it would honestly be do-able on a regular basis because most driving is short for us. We’d kill it over the weekend and multiple nights throughout the week we’d be full again.

I've finally gotten to spend a few minutes behind the wheel of an EV. My wife's G is in the shop again for the same exact reasons it was a couple years ago. We had a C300 4Matic loaner than got a flat Wednesday. They picked that up and dropped off an EQE 350 4Matic Sedan. It looks like crap. But I already knew that. It's super quick and super quiet, which I expected both of those already as well. The interior is 95% of the C300 with a few more menu options and considerably larger rear legroom, also as I'd expect from an E over a C. It's overall super nice and quite fun to drive and mess around with something so different. It's weird accelerating so quickly and my body/mind just expect a shift point and for noises to happen and they just don't. It just keeps pulling silently. I have no clue how long we'll have this for so I may only have those like 3 miles of driving it. I'd like to comment on the range/efficiency of it but we'll have to see how that goes. Oh yeah, we have to publicly charge it and that's going to suck total @ss. We only have 3 chargers in town, all level 2, with no way to plug it into an exterior wall outlet at home, that I know of.

Re breakfast: Spanish breakfast buffets are different from Italian ones ... and Portuguese ones. (These are the only 3 countries I usually visit to begin with.) At the Spanish ones, they have those great potato pies, with other ingredients. Their locals hams are excellent. So, there are things I like better on an Italian breakfast buffet and things I like better on a Spanish breakfast buffet. One interesting thing is that a Portuguese one features mushrooms more than the others ... almost always. And I'm very okay with that. Re other meals: That's a nice looking (club) sandwich.
