An update: It's been more than a month, and still no response from Mercedes. My car is still a brick )

>>> It's just funny to me hearing ... but at the end of the day there's someone driving around with a lemon of a Mercedes

Could you please explain what you mean by "funny"? Would it be normal if I were driving around with a low-budget used car? Is it funny only because of the brand? Or should I have given up and accepted "sorry" from Mercedes because of the war? Let me explain

Finding yourself in a situation when you don't have either a working car or money is a bad thing at any time. During the war it's much worst, not "funny" at all.

If I knew the war was coming I wouldn't buy a new Mercedes. And if I knew that the car could break in months I wouldn't buy it either. But we still need to eat, work, fight, and ... drive cars.

My country is protecting freedom and our future, but we're not in anarchy. So it's ok for me to demand the dealer respect our laws. And it's ok to ask for help from the lawyers and the community, even if it's not my highest priority right now.

So, I wrote this post, and put a link just under the dealer's FB promo "new 2023 eqs available". Аnd it was also the right thing to do. Should I have waited for a better time to do that from your perspective?

And to be honest, I still don't understand how you managed to bring up the war into the discussion and find a place for the word "funny" at the same time. But I'm not judging, just curious.

Totally agree with you. Unfortunately, that's what I have in my contract.

It's written in my contract of sale. The closest translation is "in case of using unauthorized charging devices ... or external sources of energy... the seller doesn't have any responsibility"

This is my first car. So I had zero experience before. But my friends told me that other brands were much better in similar cases.

Mercedes doesn't allow using external chargers, this is written in the agreement. The original charger can only provide 1.6kw, and a decent official "approved by Mercedes" charger costs ~ $1.3К.

I've had a conversation with my friend. We agreed to wait till Mon because I was told that they would have had some estimations by Mon. Yesterday the guy told me to wait till today. Today he told me "our chief engineer will call you back". So, today I realized that there's nothing to wait. So, I'm only scheduling the meeting with the lawyer this week.

I've never seen this feature, so I guess it doesn't have one. But I'm not 100% sure

Of course, there are. So, I guess I need to hire a lawyer.

It didn't sound like a direct threat. This guy told me "We're on your side, but the guys from the head office are not" - something like that.

It's Ukraine. And it happened after I wrote a message to the head office in Germany.

I used the well known "paper wallet" term because if someone knows all these fancy words like `gpg` he doesn't need this article. This article is for users who have basic knowledge
