Today, same temp, full charge its predicting 270. The issue is that the system starts freaking out below 50 % SOC since it doesnt have a destination and there are no public chargers. Maybe if it could recognize my home as a charger it would get less stressed out.

perhaps, however, have a loaded car and drive at 79mph (NH for example) and it’s closer to 200. Consumption will be proportional to speed (actually Cd goes as the square,but you get there faster) so if 250 at 65 mph it’s 200 at ~ 80 mph. Confirmed by graph that is posted.

I see from the graph that the maximum range with 21 inch wheels is about 350 miles. How do you explain that I was always getting more than 400 miles range in the summer driving about 80% of the time in the city and 20% on the highway? In fact, there was one occasion when the estimated range was a whopping 480 miles.

I watched a 450+ review tonight that showed 24.9 kwh per 100 km which works out to 2.5 mpkwh. I saw similar numbers on another European review which was at near freezing temperatures. The first review didn't appear to be that cold

Mercedes EQS
Perhaps a bit off topic, I read that many try to always charge to a maximum of 80%. In my case, that's just not possible. I work at 170km and need to be able to do the complete trip without recharging on the way. Meanwhile, my car is almost a year old and I have +- 45.000 km or 28,000 miles.
I can tell you that my battery still has the same capacity as about a year ago. I always have the same sporty driving style and every month I keep track of the remaining kilometers after I have done the return journey.
According to multiple sources (my dealer and other forums) you are allowed to charge your EQS to 100% as long as you don't leave it at 100% for hours. You have to use up your battery capacity as quickly as possible.
Using up your battery to <20% is at least as 'bad' (if you can call it bad) than charging above 80%. So if you really need your battery and have to do long distances like me, then you better charge your battery to 100% instead of say 90% and stay above 20% that way.

I called my credit card company and after I explained what happened they told me that my card is now compromised and they are issuing a new card. They stopped all payments until I receive a new card. Fortunately, my wife’s card is still good and I can use that if need be.
I asked the person I talked to “how in the world did they get my credit card number.” He said that these people have all sorts of ways of getting the card once one goes through the process of downloading.

A very important word of caution. I made the mistake of going to that attachment and downloading it in a convoluted sort of way. It lead me to WinZip somehow. This morning I got an email from my credit card company that there could have been a fraudulent charge (16 cents) on my account and that my card could be compromised.I called my credit card company and after I explained what happened they told me that my card is now compromised and they are issuing a new card.

Sorry I didn't include a link in my previous post. Guide to Virtual Credit Card Numbers
Basically, it is a random cc number that is linked to one's real account. a person can set $ limits, longevity, etc. for the number. I set a $ limit and longevity so the number can only be used once. The cc numbers only work for online transactions. These are not new, I've used them for many years.
