WTF Mercedes
I’m sitting here contemplating ripping out the whole mild hybrid system to the 63s haha, I can’t be the only person who hates the sound of the stupid hybrid system underneath what seems to be the drivers seat. It sounds like a alien and it’s so f******* annoying.

The 48V MHEV has had its issues, but can't say I've ever noticed an annoying noise under the driver seat. What kind of alien are you talking about? They usually speak a different language, but don't make strange noises :-). If you are talking about an extraterrestrial, I've never met one, so not sure what noises they make :-). Can you be more specific? At most you could hear the e-motor in the transmission, which is kind of a high pitch noise. MHEV can't propel the car purely on electricity, so you don't get the artificial sound that EVs have to make at lower speeds to warn pedestrians.

Unless it's tinnitis, which can cause sensitivity to certain frequencies.
