Some Redditors are pointing out that there's nothing under the hood that is user servicable without specialized tools, seemingly unaware that that's also true for almost everything on literally every single car.
But i can get most of those tools after a 20 min trip to the auto parts store, as well as many of those tools are actually generic engineering tools a machine shop would have regular access too.
They need to stop pretending that cars are magical devices that run on good vibes and advertising.
The complex stuff is really for particular jobs like removing pullys, and pushing bushings in or out. Simple jobs by the looks of it, that require just a little more force to do than the average home shop can manage without being too crafty.
You can do complete engine repairs if you have the space, a few tools, and more importantly the time to get it done.
But capitalism prevents us from being able to upkeep the tools we need to participate. Just another contradiction in the system
Even then the car should just tell you that and then let you do it anyways - then again most new luxury cars are leased anyways so it's basically Mercedes designing the car around that.

I did a headgasket repair on just as much.

What else did you expect from the premier site for "Well, ACKSHUALLY..."?
You can find people routinely playing contrarian for anything and everything there
You'd think one could at least be expected to swap batteries...
Anything to protect the good purchased name of :melon-musk:
