    Mechanic wrecks client’s freshly acquired Mercedes Benz while chilling with lover

    A Nigerian mechanic has landed in a troublesome situation following the collision of a freshly acquired Mercedes Benz while en route to delivering it to a customer who had just made the purchase.

    After successfully completing the necessary repair work on the vehicle, the unfortunate mechanic aimed to hand it over to its new owner, who had recently made the purchase from a dealership.

    Regrettably, unforeseen circumstances led to the car plunging front-first into a drainage, causing the mishap.

    Online information led us to believe that the incident took place close to Otedola in the state of Lagos.

    The automobile is shown in poor condition after the crash in a popular video from the reports.
    It is yet unknown if the driver is alive or has suffered any serious injuries.

    Residents could be seen swarming the scene of the collision after the driver had apparently been extricated.

  • Mercedes-Benz to charge an acceleration subscription fee

    Mercedes-Benz is set launch an online subscription service in the United States to help its electric vehicles accelerate faster.

    The company will allow some of its vehicles to accelerate from 0-60mph in less than a second for an annual cost of $1,200 (£991) excluding tax.

    It comes after rival manufacturer BMW introduced a subscription feature for heated seats earlier this year.

    Mercedes has confirmed to BBC News that it does not intend to introduce “Acceleration Increase” in the UK at this time.

    It will be available in the United States on the Mercedes-EQ EQE 350 and EQS 450, as well as their SUV counterparts.

    According to the Mercedes US online store, the feature “electronically increases” the output of the car’s motor, as well as the torque.

    All told, it estimates this amounts to a 20-24% increase in output, allowing a Mercedes-EQ 350 SUV to accelerate from 0-60mph in about 5.2 seconds, as opposed to 6.2 seconds without the subscription.

    ‘Consumer backlash’

    Jack McKeown, Association of Scottish Motoring Writers president and motoring editor of the Courier newspaper, in Dundee, said Mercedes’s new feature was “unsurprising but dispiriting”.

    “When you pay a monthly subscription for a phone or for broadband, you’re paying for the company to supply and maintain a data network,” he said.

    “Mercedes is asking you to pay for hardware it has already installed in the car – and which it presumably already made a profit margin on when you bought the car.

    “Trying to leverage even more profit out of subscription services is a worrying trend and I hope there is a consumer backlash against it.”

    ‘Coming soon’

    In July, BMW faced a backlash when it announced customers could pay £25 per month to unlock heated seats and steering wheels in their cars.

    And in December 2021, Toyota announced it would charge some drivers $8 per month to remotely start their cars using a key fob.

    In 2019, Tesla introduced “Acceleration Boost”, which makes its Model 3 vehicles accelerate from 0-60mph half a second faster for a one-time fee of $2,000.

    The Acceleration Increase subscription is listed as “coming soon” on the US Mercedes storefront, with no exact date given for its release.

  • Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to withdraw from the Russian market

    Mercedes-Benz has announced its intention to exit the Russian market and sell shares in its industrial and financial services subsidiaries to a local investor, making it the latest carmaker to do so.

    Japan’s Nissan this month took a $687m loss in handing over its business in Russia to a state-owned entity for 1 euro, mirroring an earlier move by Renault, which sold its majority stake in Russia’s Avtovaz for 1 rouble.

    Now shares in Mercedes’s local subsidiaries are expected to be sold to the car dealer chain Avtodom.

    Mercedes stopped manufacturing in Russia in early March.
