Is MBrace something that is free with new Mercedes, or do we pay for it? Familiar with Mercedes ME connect, but not MBrace.

Traffic is provided via the mobile internet connection and TomTom Traffic. Those services are free for about 3 years. After that, you'll need to pay for them.

No, you're given a limited LTE data connection. WiFi rides on top of that LTE connection, you do need to pay for a data quota if you want to use the hotspot. However, traffic and the other features simply go over LTE, just without the full internet access ability that you get when you pay for a data quota.

Your new car will have Apple Car Play and you may want to consider using WAZE. It is the best nav and traffic system out there and costs nothing if you have a data plan on your phone.

Just Mercedes me connect services (3 years included) and Concierge, none of which mention traffic. Nothing about MBrace.

I see nothing on the MB web site or vehicle builds that discusses MBrace, 3 year trial subscription, or anything about traffic. My dealer has never mentioned anything about MBrace or a subscription and/or pricing.

Yup. Waze. Police spotter and traffic rerouter. We’re deep in road construction on some key area bridges here and Waze sends me several different ways each week to work. I like the police spotter bit the best. More warning than my old detector. And no cabin clutter.

I've always been happy with the traffic updates I get on my routes using Google Maps over Android Auto. I've never used waze, so I cannot comment on how it compares.

On the '19 model year, Mbrace isn't mentioned anymore - just Mercedes Me Connect. I actually tried using Me Connect in my car to cancel an older mbrace contract, and I had to call in by phone - seems they're not connected.

The ONLY thing you should be able to use Mercedes Me for on a 2019 Model Year car is use MBFS (their finance service). Otherwise, everything else is via Me Connect.

It may not be mentioned, but it indeed still exists. That's what was confusing with me until I found the latest MBrace website. Mbrace is how you get the extra services when the free trials run out.
