Is this not essentially just warranty for the increased failure rate that comes with the car being tuned?
I guess we'll see if Mercedes is going to suddenly prevent third party tuners from doing this, but I guess not.
- jackmott42 4y agoProbably, but nothing is to stop a manufacturer from just doing this artificially and it would be hard to prove it one way or the other, since the end user would never have enough data. If $1,000ish every year was a reasonable cost based on increased warranty risk, that is a big increase in risk!
- mattlondon 4y agoIf it was an option in the car, and you can turn it on but get a big warning that the warranty is void then sure. But I bet it isn't.
- rosnd 4y agoThat's certainly true of current ICE mercedes models, except for the big warning.
- josephcsible 4y agoIf the price dropped over time as the warranty ticked away, eventually becoming free after the warranty expires, or if you could ask for it without paying in exchange for voiding your warranty, then this would be reasonable. But they didn't do either of those things.
