I just finished my first week with the car. I had about 130 miles of range left before I charged but wanted to get it back up for weekend around town travel. I’ll try going down from 90% to 10% this next week to see how far it will go around town with mostly highway use.

Attached is the charging curve I experienced at Tesla with the new v4 pedestal with v3 cabinet (I think that’s how you describe it).

Started with 90% state of charge last Sunday and got it down to 32% before I charged it this morning for the cheaper Tesla early morning membership rate. Went 212 miles. Average speed was 33 mph. Lots of sitting in it messing with settings.

I navigated to the charger and the car didn’t do any battery preheating. It’s mid 70s currently. It started charging at 88 kW and peaked at 100.8 kW @ 82%. When it stopped at 90% after 37 minutes it was still pulling 74 kW.

Edit: Stats are from Home Assistant’s integration.

My custom order came in on Wednesday, and I picked it up the next day. I’m very impressed with it coming from a 2024 EQE 350. I was expecting to be disappointed with the “cheapest” Mercedes. But, fully loaded with every option except the microfiber cloth and first aid kit, it’s been nice so far … and not cheap. I’m hopeful for an electric E 350 to be out when my lease ends on this one.
