Mercedes Benz's Sascha Simon, in charge of the company's advance product planning in the US, met Off-Ramp host John Rabe by LAX to let him drive the new Mercedes F-Cell car, which is like an electric SUV without, as Simon puts it, "range anxiety." (It is quite fast off the line, by the way.) Mercedes is sending a shipment of the cars to California for testing by consumers, who'd lease them for up to three years.
