Yeah, I’m in the South, and looking at your locale, you’re in Iowa. Bad winters could be a killer, I don’t think electrics will ever do well outside the Sunbelt and West Coast. As crazy as it sounds, sometimes I think they need a little diesel tank and a Webasto auxiliary cabin heater.
E-classes are BORING. This thing GETS IT from 0-80, really so from 0-40 or 50. Instantaneous electric motor torque is pretty cool in the cut-and-thrust of close-in suburban driving.
A broke federal government shouldn’t finance excitement for rich guys.
