What happened to the Benz? Did I miss the story?

I thought that was fixed with the 2016s going forward.GlennD wrote:The thing I hate most about my 2016 eGolf Sel is that it locks the charging plug.

Here at work we have about 40 parking spots served by 20 EVSEs. If you end up getting parked next to an e-Golf you have to wait for the owner to come out and unplug their car.
Your message implies they changed this feature. Did they? It was probably my biggest gripe of the e-Golf.
This feature was changed for the 2016 model.

Yeah, it wasn't looking good. Glad you're ok, our was Leaf moderately t-boned someone ran a red light, not as much damage so I kept it after it was totaled.
