Mercedes-Benz CLK CLK 500 306 PS (2003–2010)

My journey with the Tesla Model 3 began on a crisp autumn morning, the sleek obsidian black exterior catching the sunlight like a mirage. From the first touch of the minimalist interior, I knew this wasn’t just a car—it was a statement. The absence of a start button felt surreal; the car simply awakened as I sank into the vegan leather seat, the massive touchscreen glowing to life.

The drive was transformative. Acceleration was instantaneous, pinning me back with a silent, electric surge that gasoline engines could never replicate. Navigating city streets, the low center of gravity made corners feel like they were carved, not driven. On highways, Autopilot turned monotonous commutes into moments of calm, though I remained vigilant, hands lightly resting on the wheel.

Charging became an adventure. Plugging in at a Supercharger station felt like refueling a spaceship—40 minutes to 80% while sipping coffee, a stark contrast to gas station stops. The infotainment system became my co-pilot, seamlessly blending Spotify playlists with real-time traffic updates.

Range anxiety? It faded after a road trip to the mountains. The car’s navigation plotted routes with precision, and regenerative braking turned descents into energy-generating joyrides. Even in winter, preconditioning the cabin via the app ensured I stepped into warmth, not a frozen cockpit.

Two years in, ownership feels like a partnership. Over-the-air updates keep the car evolving—new features like video streaming or improved voice commands appear overnight. Maintenance? Almost nonexistent. No oil changes, no belts to replace, just tire rotations and the occasional software tweak.

The Model 3 isn’t perfect—the ride can be firm over potholes, and the lack of tactile controls takes adjustment. But it’s a daily reminder of how technology can redefine expectations. It’s not just a vehicle; it’s a leap toward a cleaner, smarter future. Every drive feels like a quiet revolution, one mile at a time.

Der 500er ist genau der richtige Motor für das Cabriolet. Du gleitest dahin. Immer genug Kultiviertheit und Kraft. Auch im Alter von 13 Jahren sieht der Wagen innen wie neu aus. Der Verbrauch hält sich bei 11,5L im akzeptablen Bereich. Fahrwerk 1A. Dachfunktion 100%. Alles dicht. Keine Rostansätze. Wer ein wirklich stabiles Cabriolet sucht ist mit den V8 mehr als gut bedient.
