Comparing Mercedes-Benz E-Tron with Audi E-Tron - Which One Should I Choose?

Generally, yes! But charging rates can vary by location. Some networks have membership plans that lower costs, which is great if you’re on the road a lot. Always check before you go!

I love the tech in the E-Tron! The charging features are fantastic. Just remember to check the compatibility of your home system, as some may require an electrician for installation.

Good point! I wonder if the installation costs are high? That could definitely influence my decision.

Installation can vary, but on average, you’re looking at $500-$1500 depending on your setup. It’s definitely worth factoring into your budget when choosing your E-Tron!

I find it amusing that we now have to think about ‘charging setups’ like it’s an integral part of home decor! Electric cars sure are changing the game in more ways than one!

I’ve owned a Mercedes-Benz E-Tron for about a year now. The maintenance costs are manageable, but be prepared for some service intervals that can be pricey. Regular check-ups are recommended every 10,000 miles.

That’s interesting, alexis37! How much have you spent on those check-ups? I’m curious about the overall maintenance budget.

While the E-Tron does have a good warranty, check what it covers. I’ve seen posts about some expensive battery issues that aren’t fully covered after the first few years.

That’s concerning! Does this apply to all E-Tron models? I thought the warranties were pretty comprehensive.

In my experience, service intervals are typically every year or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. It’s best to stick to these schedules to avoid hefty repairs later on.

Great to know! Do you think doing some minor maintenance yourself could help save on costs?

DIY maintenance can indeed cut costs! Just make sure you’re comfortable with it. Some users love doing their own basic checks, but always double-check with the manual.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about the E-Tron’s reliability. Some users swear by them, while others note issues with the infotainment systems. Anyone else experience this?

It’s true! My friend had to take her E-Tron in for updates twice in the first year due to software glitches. Not ideal!

Let’s not forget the humorous side; you could always invest in a personal mechanic if you want a constant companion for your E-Tron woes!

Lol! I’m not sure I can afford that additional ‘friend’! Keeping it light is great, though.
