Hi all,
I thought maybe this would be the place to go to see what can be done about my mom’s situation. For context, last year, in Nov 2022, my mom bought a used, 2018 Smart ForTwo EQ for around 20k. Just a week or two ago, she calls me to tell me her car won’t start, so I ask her to show me what it says, she video calls, and I see something similar to a High Voltage battery error. So we get it towed to her house, and she makes an appt with the Mercedes dealership she bought it from. FF to today, they tell her that it’ll be 23k to replace the battery. Anyone here who might be able to help me figure out what her next steps are? She doesn’t have anywhere near that kind of money on hand, and neither do I.
OP, if you somewhere in Cali(I’m in LA county), I can take a look on a battery pack. Fixed few fortwos. As well we can make it bigger.
hold up, you can make them BIGGER? is it the size of a mini Cooper now?
Worse, a Countryman. Excuse me, I need to throw up.
Yeah I can make it a Forsix / Forsixandahalf if you’re very close with the other passengers.
I’m not falling for that ad…again.
