    Chances are, If you can afford the car, then that amount is nothing to you.

      Having known one, some of their customers love their feature loaded cars to brag about and feel extra special. Some will definitely pay the 2.5k gladly.

    Come on, you have been able to pay the price of that Mercedes in the first place.

  Yes, but it’s actually level 3.

  Not the Tesla “full self driving - no wait we actually lied to you, you need to be alert at all times” bullshit.
