Most EV owners charge their batteries overnight in their garage. So when they wake up in the morning they have 300 + miles of range that is more than adequate for commuting to and from work for an entire week. There is no need for range anxiety as that fear is more imagined than real.
Besides, there will always be ICE vehicles for those unwilling or unable to change with the times. The legacy auto manufacturers sat on their behinds for years waiting on others to do the heavy lifting. Now that EV technology is beyond the proof of concept stage they are all rushing in with grandiose plans for future electric propulsion systems.
Pretty sure there are also many remote parts of the country with little to no charging infrastructure.
Great for people that live in populous areas that have garages, and never venture far from home though!

The tire shops don't carry RFTs, and they could take days to get ones in.....one said 7 days.
My thinking was the dealer will have a way to get the right tires for this particular model.
Also, my dealer has MB technicians who won't screw up....which might mean taking the car back to make corrections......esp with air pressure monitors etc.
I have never had good luck with Goodyears though 30000 miles is actually pretty good.
But, my dealer said, Mercedes only approves of Goodyear Sport and Pirelli Zeros, so I think they have some idea of what should work best.
The MB price includes everything...balance and alignment etc., and I know it will be done right, and if it is more than the Tire shops it isn't by much.
I know it will be done right, I know they are fast and efficient, and I will get a beautiful car wash. Also, I dropped the car off yesterday so they could get started asap......I don't feel like spending hours on the phone trying to line up particular tires and getting them done right away.....life is too short!

I think it's going to be a long time before the vast majority of cars are EV's unless there is a major advancement in battery technology that brings down their price and removes the rare earth elements from them.

Back in the early 2000's, I converted a lot of home movies from Beta and VHS and 8mm and you name it to DVD format, some for myself, many more for friends and relatives and coworkers. I recently gave away better than 100 commercial DVD movies, the ones I wanted to keep have all been ripped and saved on the computer. DVDs are dead, long live Netflix (or whatever).
The point here is, things change. And you can't live in the past, nor in the future, but you can anticipate and try to be ready.
On the Mustang GTs for sale, you've got me there. I should have said, "for sale at a price a sane person might actually pay".

My car is in the shop getting tires, I can use MrsD100s car if I ask nicely, but if she had an EV I'd be out of luck! I'd have to plan extra carefully, and hope it was charged enough to go at least one way.....I can think of lots that could go wrong!!!!!

Surprised by the poor back marker who lost a wheel on the first lap and hit the wall hard. You'd think that would be something that would be kind of fundamental to check. Someone else (Blaney?) seemed to take a hard lick too. Makes me wonder if they need to make some changes to the walls.

Having a bit of trouble with my Samsung cell phone, but other than that life is good.
Just finished watching The Firm TV Series, only got 39% on rottentomatoes but it was pretty good....too bad it didn't make it back for another season....suspense but not stupid suspense.

I too enjoyed the track - tired of the cookie cutter 1.5 mile courses. More road racing circuits, please!
Wouldn’t mind seeing either the truck or Nationwide series come back to PPIR, which is a 1 mile track about an hour south of me.

Your asking a request to define a price a “sane” person would pay - you are asking the wrong question on this site - no one is sane enough to figure that one out - not here! 🤪😜🤓. We’re all car nuts so we would consider anything if the car fits the need!

You might be the only one who doesn’t think dealers screw up. Personally, I’d go with a trusted tire shop that installs tires all day long rather than a dealer who does it occasionally by comparison.

Yes - the surgeon recommended a laminectomy at L3-L4. Not an intricate procedure but if it corrects the disc problem, I would seriously consider it. Still recovering at home from a fall I took Saturday - left arm severely bruised - trying to get to doctor’s office by 2:00 PM so they can dress the wound. Will probably need antibiotics to preclude an infection.

Mike is undoubtedly correct (he usually is), but I will still provide my opinion of "price a sane person might actually pay". My answer: In no case more than MSRP. No dealer add-ons, no mop-n-glow, no add on surcharges. MSRP, plus sales tax, plus a reasonable doc fee.
Around here, such a deal cannot be found on a Mustang GT, or a new Ford or Chevy pickup. There are very few available, and every single one is going above MSRP. YMMV.
Mike, if I were you I would get a second opinion, and if the second opinion agrees, then go for it.

OK, I checked the first Stang on the list that came up. A GT coup Premium with the 5.0 liter TI-VCT V8 with a 10 speed Auto in Race Red and a sticker price of $47,600, it's listed on the web for sticker. What they may spring when you walk in the door is anyones guess. but it does look like they are all going for sticker.

Yeah DVD is more or less dead, but BluRay is still going strong. Streaming services offer very good quality but there is a significant difference with a Blu-ray Disc especially if you have a dedicated system for movies.

One of my BIL's is a doctor and that's what he told me.

At least with me it is usually inanimate objects that breakdown.

They called at 2 p.m. that the car was ready. It was washed on the outside and cleaned on the inside...great job.
The tires ride very nicely, they feel much better than the Goodyears....nicer steering and smoother riding.
Your point is well taken JMonroe about a dealer specializing in replacing tires....but Mercedes technicians are well trained and they know what a Mercedes needs....and things like the air pressure monitor should be hooked up correctly.
Also, they are great looking tires....nice design;
Once again my MB dealer didn't overcharge.......their price was a few dollars less than the dealers online price. And no fooling around, they gave me a total price on the phone, tires, balance and alignment.

In my experience, which is pretty wide and goes back a long way, dealers NEVER talk about the mop-n-glo or nitrogen filled tires or any other such nonsense in their online ads. There is always fine print which says the advertised price does not include dealer add ons. Check it for yourself.
You do love to correct people, but this time it is you who's got it wrong.

I did state that what they spring on you is anyones guess and I cannot vouch for many of the dealerships but one I do know and I know they are not known for dealer add ons.
Speaking of which I wanted to burn a little bit of time and I was close to a dealership that I have done business with and trusted so I went to look at SUV's/CUV's as my wife wants to replace the Sonata with one after we pay off the BMW. However this dealership was sold a few years ago and is operating under a different name. The new ownership doesn't get good reviews. Anyway you should see the dealer add ons they had on all the cars. One year of key replacement insurance, one year of dent and ding repair, one year of windshield nick repair, floor mats and an app based anti theft thing. All in all it totaled around $2,500. The first three I see no real value in them, the mats I could better for less than half and the last I could get it for a lot less than what they were asking.

If you were @andres3 that key thingy wouldn’t be such a bad deal.

I had tennis this afternoon and I am playing tomorrow morning......but I have to coordinate with MrsD100, I used her GLK this afternoon, but she needs it tomorrow. The GLK rides nice, it has almost the same engine, 330 hp and it is really solid. Great seating position too.
My neighbour had his indie friends garage put on tires for him once, since the tires cost almost the same no savings there, labor was less.....after driving a few 1000 miles he noticed they installed them going the wrong way! No, I trust the dealer.
