Yeah, as I pointed out a couple of times in my earlier posts, parking on a slope is a bit tricky with these cars due to the clutch. You have to give it enough throttle for the clutch to start engaging and go uphill. Use the Hill Start Assist or engage the parking brake, then once you give it enough throttle the brakes/parking brake release and it moves.
PS: I just went for a drive with the car 20 minutes ago and the following happened to me:
- I arrived, put the R (straight terrain), it didn't move from the spot, I left it for about 3-5 seconds or so and the car started to go backwards but then it stopped again and stayed still, I had to accelerate quite a bit so that it would reach the incline where I am to start parking and when I got there it lost strength to go backwards (until I accelerated quite a bit but it moved me abruptly from the spot).
I already made another appointment with Mercedes for September 10th, I would have liked it to be earlier but they can't attend to me before.... xdd

The terrain is perfectly straight when I put the R, and then there is a VERY SMALL incline, where I park. But the problem is that I put the R and it doesn't move from the spot. When I say that the incline is minimal, I'm not lying to you, I'm attaching photos*

Problem found:
After taking the car to AutoKlass (very professional and very kind) they found that the problem (supposedly and apparently, they still have to look further) was that they did not tighten a screw properly and did not do the job correctly at AutoSchunn. The cardan screw was not tight and was leaking Vaseline. Also the transmission was sweating oil. I have made an even bigger claim to the dealership for the poor work they did and the time they made me waste, apart from the fact that they left my car in horrible condition.

The car is still at the Mercedes dealership, they called me today and told me that they are going to change the entire transmission and the cardan shaft. Everything will probably be ready by next month.
