Mercedes in-car subscriptions for increased performance - photos

[Jon]

Mercedes started offering a $1,200 annual subscription fee to owners of some of its electric vehicles, for increasing acceleration.

An electric Mercedes is far from the top of my automotive wishlist, but this sales tactic caught my eye.

Mercedes did recently drop down the price, but this type of automotive sales model, where the buyer pays for upgrades like increased torque or heated steering wheels, may be here to stay.
