Note that the charger is stuck.

Guess they don’t know about the string you yank hidden in the tailgate to unlock it manually

What’s up with that? Did they wash it while charging?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It sounds like it didn't die in the carwash but overnight, so my guess is they plugged it in overnight after the wash and after it died the plug won't unlock maybe?

You gotta be a special kind of broken to not have power while plugged in.

The body isn't watertight and water collects in the frame due to lack of drain holes. The accumulated water shorts the electrical connections and discharges everything.

Probably a lot of corrosion damage now too.

Not being able to detach the charge cable due to lack of power is extra funny. They have a manual release but you have to remove a panel in the bed to get to it.

Basically the vehicle is in beta but they released it anyway.

Ah sounds like the startup strategy of having someone with the nickname Big Balls working for an org called DOGE given data on every US citizen without any oversight.

I rented a car recently and they upgraded me to a Tesla Model 3. I charged the car twice and both times I had to do the manual release to unplug it.

That's alpha level problems

Technically functional, if you don't count common and predictable conditions that we didn't want to fix yet.

More like alpha IMO.

What a fantastic piece of equipment.

To be fair this happens to a lot of Mercedes, too.

They disintegrate after going through a carwash?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

No, water collects in places and then gets on sensitive electronics. Though with the Mercs it’s usually because a drain got clogged.

IIRC, the chassis has some places where water can pool inside without drainage holes, and wiring runs through those trays. It could be that the car was fine for a while until the owner tried charging it, which would've tripped a fuse or something.
