The length of a battery warranty is not an opinion, it's a fact and you could learn from facts.
That's a pretty high expectation, Karen. Don't hold your breath.
This whole thread is about you disparaging others. Quit it.

Only losers like yourself who cannot help but make snarky comments. You do this in multiple threads. You must be a lonely dude.
Anyway, new policy. I refuse to converse further with stupid people so I will no longer reply to your asinine posts.
You never have anything constructive to say. It's always negative. Just stop embarrassing yourself.
Bye.

I like your new policy!
However, you've missed the constructive comments that many people have made, although it took dozens of them before you quit disparaging them. They were mostly useful, correcting some ridiculous remarks you made that might cause others to think your statements were true.
Read through this thread, you will see that I have been among those who made more than one constructive comment throughout.
It seems like you've learned a bit, Binky. Carry on.

Dumb is probably too strong a word, but a hitch probably assists in resale.
People use hitches for things other than towing such as bicycle racks, wheelchair lifts, additional storage, and since there's no affordable aftermarket receivers, they'll be looking for a factory installed, $550 hitch.
And GLSs are a better tow machines than pickups. Better brakes, better chassis better suspensions. You sacrifice a few hundred lb in payload.

I understand what you are saying but IMO that is putting to much value into a hitch for resale.
If someone wants to buy your car because it's the right color and has all the options they want, I find it hard to believe a stupid little hitch will make or brake the deal.

I didn't call you stupid.
Read the words. Or at least try....
Oh I forgot the LOL. So endearing.

Not today. As expected, the car does not have the DX1 option installed.
No big deal as I will just order again and hopefully all goes well the second time. The dealer was sorry for the problem.
I'm just out a few more months of waiting.

Post 47 through 80 are essentially you going ballistic over hitches.

Is this the site or where did you build your car?
https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/bu...e/suv/gle450w4
EDIT: I see now where you specific your options.

The only option that is not listed on their website, for my build, is if you want the headliner to match the interior color.
For the macchiato it is option 55U if I remember correctly.
Apparently the dealer has to manually enter this option.

Unfortunately mistakes can occur and it’s a good idea to review the build sheet after the factory accepts your order to make sure it’s what you want. I would recommend to review your order after factory accepts it and check periodically with SA on progress. Unfortunately sometimes I’d say very rare, options can be put on hold or changed. As we all seen part shortages can happen and mistakes can be made. Good luck with next build.

Back in the day, way back, I ordered a Ford Taurus sedan with a factory sunroof. I waited and waited and waited. I get a call that my car is in and go to pick it up. The damned thing had an aftermarket sunroof installed. It was NOT factory (even though the sales guy swore it came from the factory that way) and looked like crap! Then the sales guy said it was better than factory for some bull**** reason.
I took the car for a day, wondering if I could get used to it. I could NOT and took it back to the dealership which tried to say "too late". After some heated conversation with the owner of the dealership, he finally agreed to take the car back and order me a new one. And that was in the days before social media. Today we have so many more options available to get our point across and share our experiences.
Your money, your wants. Stick by your guns.
