As for an eBay seller coming to steal back wheel locks, if the guy flies from San Diego to my weekend home in PA, tracks me down in NYC, and accesses my garage, just for their wheel locks back from a lease they returned and don’t need anymore. At that point I’ll just give it back to them. eBay isn’t a scary place, don’t worry too much about shopping there.
I forgot to say that they could take the wheels too.

2022 GLE 450/2020 Gen 2 Raptor/few others
The "standard" coil spring suspension is **** soft. The car frequently bottoms out (feel bump stops) in a straight line (gentle rolling bumps not pot holes). I've never owned a vehicle that I've ever been so familiar with the damn bumps stops. OTHERWISE, the 2022 450 is gold. I'm a 270lb meathead and the wife 135 before anyone goes there.

I think the massage seats are very effective.

Many people don't know that there is a setting under the Comfort menu, that increases the massage to "intense."

A friend who bought a $5,000 massage chair commented that my massage seats are better than his monster recliner.

I also like the "seat kinetics" on trips. It's part of the massage package.

I just checked if mine is on intense and it is. I should have prefaced that I love a deep tissue massage where it feels like the masseuse is massaging my bone marrow. 💆 Relative to other brands, I've only read that Mercedes is best in class or at least one of the better ones but really don't have any comparison except with a rental of a Jeep Grand Cherokee and again even though it was inferior, it's better than nothing IMO.

I'll turn on the seat massage and seat kinetics for any drive longer than 25min. For road trips, it truly does reduce fatigue. For seat massage, I wish I could just default it to on every time I start the car.
