Whoever said that, has no idea what the 1000s of different transmissions might do in this situation even though he makes that claim.

My Merc, for example, always starts in 2nd gear except when it’s put into sport mode.

Borrow a car batter charger and see if it will charge. If not, you’ll need a new battery.

I saw a matte pink model 3 today. Look like pepto-bismol had dried on it.

Whoosh

Now that you mention it, I’ve recently seen some pretty nasty looking wraps on Teslas. I thought it was because the owner went to one of the $99 places.

Possibly either a failing ignition coil, or a timing belt issue. On the latter you’ll want to diagnose that as quickly as possible. The EA888 engine is known for it.

They certainly don’t suck in my 2016 S-class. Not only do I see the backup view, but also a computer generated overhead view from the other 3 cameras on the vehicle. And this us a 7 year old vehicle.
