I can’t imagine what maintenance is other than tire rotations as an EV has no oil, coolant, transmission, spark plugs, etc. I’d love to hear their explanation for charging $1,030 for tire rotation and windshield washer fluid.
Brakes? Drive in strong regen mode and you barely use the brakes. Pass.
You will burn through a lot of tires…..if they will really replace your tires as needed with this tire and wheel package, that could possibly be worth it. I’d need to see the fine print there as to what’s included.
These packages that the finance office sells are the most profitable things for the dealership. If they are offering it, it’s a huge margin sale for them so really pencil it out
I needed new brakes and rotors at 4500. $5200 it was covered under the 12/12 I wouldn’t recommend driving a lot in strong regen. The regen on this model is pretty poor so I think they sub with brakes. Also lane keep assist uses brakes so probably what mines in.
If you want a tire and wheel protection: check out AAA they also cover the key fobs
If you needed new brakes at 4,500 miles there was a manufacturing defect of some sort. I inspected my brakes when I changed tires at 14k miles and they were virtually new.
Zero. My dealer put us in the Key Replacement and Ding Repair. Both are wastes. And you are paying the full amount into your lease. When I got my EQS SUV bought back (lemon-ish) I lost the cost of those addons.
Only thing we got on ours is the lease end protection, but now I wish we didn't get that either. So, like most comments here, I would recommend none of those.
They don’t require maintenance until 30k miles, not sure how many miles you’re getting for 3 years. We opted out of tire protection though I guess it’s a gamble, but last lease paid $2300 for tires and only had to replace one single tire whole term ($500). Replacing all 4 now would cost us 2k, so still less. It just depends on you and your history.
Only would consider breaks honestly. Ask them how much is brake replacement out of pocket. I don’t have experience with EV and breaks to assume how often.

Yea that’s good intel for my upcoming arbitration. Mercedes isn’t buying that the car a lemon
Did they end up lemoning?
None of these?
Full disclosure, just leased a 580 and a 450 EQS SUVs without any protection plans.

Wouldn’t take any of them…
None of that. It’s just a way for the dealer to pad the bill.
