So, I got mine on Friday, but it was raining so I took pics on Saturday, and then I messed up my password and lock myself out. 😅
The 1000 mile break-in is going to be really hard. For now, I'm keeping her in COMFORT and trying to restrain myself. It's so easy to get to 4500 RPM... Tint is a must in FL. Had it done the same day. I thought I cropped out the garage from this... Continentals for me too.
Sorry for the giant photos. First time I've uploaded pics and I wasn't sure what it would do to them. Tried from my phone several times with no love. Had to switch over to my PC.
Happy to be the newest member of the owner's club. Can't wait until the 2023 schedule comes out for the Performance course!

I hear you, I’ve been sticking around 2500, 3000 max, but even just lightly pressing the gas to pass someone on the highway the rpms just go. I’m at 700 miles now, Sport+ and Race modes are going to be fun.

I'm only around 250 and I'm traveling for work this week. I don't generally put a lot of miles on my cars and I'm working mostly from home now so it's going to be a long time coming. I don't have the DYNAMIC package so no race mode for me, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be just fine with SPORT and SPORT+ (when I can finally use them). 😁
So did anyone actually end up getting AR navigation and AMG track pace or are we all out of luck?
You're probably out of luck. I think there's some cars in the beginning that just didn't have cameras... but the computers were still there. So if you added the camera you could code it in. But then they switched the computer hardware inside the car and the newer hardware doesn't have the capability for AR. So if you have that computer hardware you can't add AMG Track Pace or AR Nav.
We can do this (maybe)! I only get to keep mine for 12 months so I could run her hard, but I don't want to screw over whoever ends up with her next. They will never know how much pain I went through for them. 😜
I'm also at around 350 miles - I did have an idiot almost hit me Friday.
I had no choice but to gun and swerve. The car hit 5,000 RPMs like a rocket briefly.
FARK!!!!
FYI… my salesperson recommended me doing some drives in manual and occasional rev p close to 4K and let the car naturally rev down.
I have a nice little neighborhood loop - I do it in the evening and do manual shifting on those rides.
I also took my car to the Upstate Cars and Coffee; it was packed out at Michelin. Most had no idea what my car was - the ones that did seem to be BMW M-owners.
Got back from CA late Friday. Jumped in my car yesterday and realized the ODO isn't shown in the instrument cluster and I had been looking at range. I'm only at 62 miles now. 😭
Anyway, here's a pic of HQ I snapped the last night I was there. I reckon you're looking at about $400k of EV right there. And yes, that's a giant, illuminated, rotating star in the background. 😁

Come to Morrisville C&C, will blow that one away lol.

I have mine booked for ceramic tint this Friday. Have you run into any problems since tinting yours? I've been reading that some MBs have antennas in the glass.

I don't really listen to the radio, but I can check it out for you. We're the complaints about AM or FM?
Done with messing with this for now. Put the euro mirrors on on Wednesday and finished up the badges today. I wanted the extended night package but I didn’t like that it blacked out the grill. Plus you don’t get the black Mercedes logo. Only problem is I just saw the new GT63 has black chrome badging so now I want those.
my car been sitting at port for week now man. I just want it to come when do you think it’ll come
Outbound port or inbound? Mine was built June 21, got to Bremerhaven a few days later and then didn’t move for a month. When it got here it was in and out of the VPC in a few days. When it was released it only took two days to get to me. It seems really random. Some people got theirs quickly, others waited a bit. I’m sure MB has some logic to how they ship, but I can’t see it.
