Mercedes says it can beat any Tesla on range with a new car nearing production

• Mercedes is headed for the release of a new EV that gets more mileage on a single charge than Tesla.
• The new sedan gets nearly 470 miles of range and also charges faster.
• Driver issues with Teslas are mounting, from "rigged" range estimates to poor service and glitches. 

The mileage range of a new fully electric car from Mercedes could easily outshine that of any Tesla.
