    German hypercar quality. expected. Even your uber trusty NSX had its share of problems, what do you expect from the Germans? I'm not bashing MB or anything, but these are the woes of hypercaring.

    Still seems odd to not put a heavy duty battery in there, especially for a car that could very well be put away for the winter.

    You mention that HVAC and all the other bells and whistles came to life at one point, but that you still couldn't start the car. Did you bother to turn all of this crap off and then try? You don't say in the article, but that would've been one of my steps to minimize battery drain.

    Heavy duty batteries are heavy, literally. I suspect that this is simply due to Press Corps abuse, as noted in the article.

    "I should point out that I was doing all of this as Joe Blow Consumer and not as a representative of Edmunds.com." This is a 240,000$ car, they better have service this good.
