No 12V "cigarette lighter" power outlet?
Just found out my 2022 C300 doesn't have 12V power outlet for radar detector, tire pump / inflator, etc. What are my options if I want to use these devices on my car? It's one of those things you take for granted on a car. So inconvenient! Thanks.

You can now buy USB-C Tyre pumps, etc.
However why not try out one of these adapters?

Check your co driver's footwell at her/his left hand side underneath the glove compartment

Also check for a small handle under the rear seat AC/heater vents. If you pull it down you should see USB-C ports and a second 12V outlet. But I'm not sure if that’s only if you got the Advanced USB Package.
