It was never completed and was very slow due to it's very heavy weight.

The maus was a megalomaniacs wet dream, nothing more. It was too heavy to be mobile, it was to resource and labour intensive to produce and it was still vulnerable to air attack and heavy artillery bombardment. At turning the tide of the war it would have been as much use as bright pink uniforms for ambushing soldiers.
