Hopefully it's about how to make their cars more reliable. /s

Somehow Mercedes owners I know always have their car in the shop complaining how expensive it is to own a Mercedes and how often the fancy little features they have always break down.

Obviously there are exceptions, but it's a common theme that expensive cars are expensive to own. You get to beta-test all the fancy new features before they trickle down to cheaper cars, and ease of construction or maintenance take a backseat to other concerns.

Of course you can always get the worst of both worlds by buying a used formerly-expensive car. You get all the difficult and expensive maintenance for features that either didn't pan out or that everyone already has the more robust version of.

My one is packed with not strictly necessary gadgetry and while well made, replacement bits are not terribly cheap.

Like the first thing was the rear left ride height sensor broke and I've never previously even had a ride height sensor on a car.
