That's stupid. If you're assuming common sense, common sense is to not cut open thick cables without ensuring they're disconnected. It's just as much common sense as not working on your car with it's engine on. "Consumer-serviceable" parts don't exist. That being said, yes, you may want to replace the HEPA filter, or any other parts in the ventilation system, for example. High voltage safety pracitces are simple in this case. Is the battery completely disconnected from the rest of the car? Yes? Then it's safe. No? Then the car is on, and it's not safe, just like any vehicle. If Mercedes don't make available a way to ensure the main battery is disconnected and no high-voltage circuit is energized, that's on them, and they are 100% in the wrong. Otherwise, there is an easy, common-sense way to make all of this safe for your average Bozo to work on. And by the way, this is a much higher standard than the one we use today. I can happily go an kill myself by fucking up my brake system. No one will stop me. Why is this off-limits, then?
