SL55 2023 problem list of zero

After reading about problems of others with the new SL on this forum, I was concerned. I have only had my car one month but so far it has worked flawlessly

-No button or screen problems

-No convertible top problems

-No electrical issues

-No engine or mechanical issues

-No batteries issues, though I do double click the lock button on the key and keep my key far away

I am unable to update my maps using a USB stick but not sure if that qualifies as a real problem.

Absolutely love my car.

Great to hear. Honestly, after day 2 of ownership (I've had my '22 SL55 since late February) I haven't had any issues, either.

With regard to updating maps, are you using a brand name USB stick? I had purchased the dashcam and couldn't get the car to recognize any USB stick until I bought a SanDisk. Then no problem. Not sure if your issue is not recognizing a stick but when it came to my dashcam, I needed to use a name brand product and not the inexpensive ones (that seem to work for everything else) you can find on Amazon.

I have tried two different name brand memory sticks. It recognizes the files and starts the update but then stops with a "map corrupted" error.

I can't get over how perfect the spec is, especially with the red brake calipers and chrome trim. Gorgeous. I probably would have gotten 20 inch wheels over 21s but yeah, otherwise exactly how I would spec it.

Thanks. I thought that all chrome would look best in the hyperblue and I am happy with the result. My salesman told me I wold have to get the black out trim package if I opted for the performance suspension with the yellow calipers. I am glad I did not since I love of the look of the red calipers, all chrome trim with this exterior color and very happy with the performance and comfort of the tour suspension.
