I'd have seriously considered this if it had QC.
Me too, depending on the price. But to give a BEV regional range and then not include a QC so you can make shorter inter-regional trips, as Toyota did with the RAV4, is just stupid. For many people, that range plus QC would allow it to be their only car. Just rent for that once in a lifetime X-C road trip you've always been meaning to take.evnow said:I'd have seriously considered this if it had QC.

My guess is Tesla would have charged more (quite a bit more) if MB or Toyota wanted QC.TomT said:Toyota was just building a very limited production California compliance vehicle so it made perfect sense for them - they didn't care! It makes less sense for MB to leave out QC since they plan of this being a real car... I know they say it is coming later but it should have been there from the getgo.

I already have two Rav4 EV's. Part of the theory of possibly owning this car is to build a CHAdeMO receptacle for it, similar to the project that we are working on for the Rav4 called JdeMO.
