I can really only hope that this is done in preparation of a truly well designed Mercedes electric car. The cancelled car was a car usually sold with combustion engines, equipped with a Tesla supplied electrical drivetrain. So it was a pretty crummy electrical car.
- headconnect 9y agoMercedes, Audi and Jaguar are all pursuing the model X market now. The jag is slated for Q4 2018, and I'm guessing the other three won't be far behind. I think the market in general is a bit fed up with the 'one platform does all' strategy where the manufacturers simply slap some batteries in the boot/trunk, so it seems that the premium marques are finally going for the R&D expenditure for high end first, as Tesla has done.
