Please don’t throw away your rechargeable AA batteries; there is a new use for them. The newly introduced luxury sedan, the Mercedes-Benz AA-Class, is powered by 9648 AA batteries. This zero-emission Mercedes-Benz only gets up to 52 mph. It can give Tesla Model S a run for its money, at least in City driving.
What’s more surprising is that Mercedes-Benz uses the C-Class W204 chassis for their new electric car. This Mercedes-Benz seems to have a lifetime drivetrain warranty which you don’t get with any other Mercedes-Benz. That said, you don’t get a warranty on the AA batteries.
This new use of AA batteries is changing the electric car world. It looks like Mercedes-Benz AA-Class is going to be Tesla’s main competitor.
Thankfully, the AA-Class only exists in a Saturday Night Live sketch that aired on April 16, 2016, with host Julia Louis-Dreyfus playing the spokeswoman for the new Mercedes AA-Class.
The clip that used to be embedded here is no longer available on YouTube, and we will not link an unofficial copy. Fortune’s write-up of the sketch covers it, battery count and all. For more Mercedes-Benz in popular culture, see our list of songs that mention Mercedes-Benz.
Before you buy parts, scan every control module, not just the engine. It shows the root fault behind the warning lights and tells you whether the problem is still active. See how to do a full health check.
