I'm a retired MB tech of 35 yrs. Chinese EVs are just the latest issue they're having. I've mentioned on your and other blogs that MB has been in trouble for years. Corruption, products, and overall service are just a few reasons. MB was part of the VW diesel scandal, losing billions. Investors were threatening legal action because of it. I've always wondered how MB has kept its situation quite. For example, they're replacing 4 cylinder heads more often than spark plugs because of a design flaw. The replacement heads have the same issue, and the public doesn't know it.
