I have sold my Tesla Model X after using it for three years, Now i have the EQS 580 ❤ I really love it soo much more than Tesla X. You mentioned that regenerative braking doesn't stop in EQS !! this information is not correct you just need to go to the setting and disable the Creep mode and the car will stop completely when braking. The cup holder at the back set is there you just need to press it one more time and it will come out . Range in EQS is 600 to 650 km , i don't know from where you got your data ?!! . Don't understand me wrong , i love Tesla but after using EQS for one year kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLBkeNKF1bixYXk.html i can say it is better than Tesla in many things. One of the thing i hated in My Tesla was the Falcon Wings doors, it is really dangerous for Children, it bumped my head several times and my mother too, it is not a practical doors, you have to be careful every time some one enter the car. the Range was 400Km 👎 the cargo space is good when folding the back sets but if you brake !!! all the staff and the grocery will fly to you to the front set !!!. the HEPA filter in Tesla is not good as the EQS.

We’ve owned two Tesla model S since 2017. Tesla really isn’t a luxury car like Mercedes. Therefore, we have the EQS 580 for 2nd home. There’s a lot to love about MB such as hyperscreen that spans entire dashboard. Rear wheel steering provides a very short turning radius and bird’s eye camera makes parking very easy avoiding curb rash. Massage, sunroof, ambient lighting, quietness, pillows, & fragrance really pampers all occupants. My sedan is getting 375-400 mi range and one pedal driving is almost as good as Tesla. Adaptive cruise control is better than Tesla with lane changing as standard. On the negative side, I hate the start/stop button and there’s no walk away auto locking. Lack of a frunk is disappointing. DC fast charging is only 200 kW and AC charging only 9.6 kW.

I know it’s an EV comparison but for me the question that should be asked is EQS vs GLS. The Model X is simply the better EV, the EQS is the better luxury car. But at that price is being an OK very expensive electric (EQS) better than being a Great ICE vehicle (GLS)? Ultimately I think the EQS in the next 3-5 years will be an amazing choice for both luxury AND Ev needs.

The FWD on the X are a disaster and not family friendly for our needs. Try parking the X in a parking garage, you’ll soon realize FWD doors will not open all the way and having access to kids in the back seat is impossible. Still have my 2018 Silver Model 3 and will keep it until I upgrade to the S.

@bavariancarenthusiast2722 10 ай бұрын

Great review! Really day-to-day perspective which is very refreshing. For me its not a real comparison - the EQS much higher quality and superior in any way - except if you need the Tesla charging network (which will Mercedes use now as well), which would be a deciding factor for me. Since I live in Europe with a good CCS network - it's not a deal breaker for me. The EQS is a luxury car- the X is an appliance and people mover, for what it is - the X is way too expensive.

Other than that it did not feel as special as the EQS.

Thanks for the review, Kim. For $107K there are too many disappointments. Mercedes clearly has loaded the car with WOW features in order to make up for the lack of what make it a really desirable car. My first disappointment is having to purchase through a Mercedes dealership. (Ugh!) 285 mile range is a non-started for road trips which is strange since it is a very quiet riding car. CCS charging network dependency is also a big negative for road trips. They also put the charge port on the wrong side for future access to Tesla Superchargers. No frunk and small cargo volume tells me the EQS is an ICE crossover (not a clean slate design) A start button is an indication of non-integrated electronics. Portrait screen is not optimal for real-time information display. Lack of tech features like camping mode, sentry mode, Navigate on Autopilot, internet, games, FSD, etc. Some people will be attracted by the heightened sense of luxury, and you can call me a snob, but to my way of thinking, a car without a built in chauffeur is not a luxury automobile.

The autopilot, wipers, handling, parking camera’s, voice system, headlights are all vastly superior in the eqs. The ambiant lighting is a fantastic as a safery feature. Open your door with a car coming behind you and watch the alerts. As for range…if you are a user like me with days between drives, the eqs has far more range than the x. The x looses so mich power just when just sitting around.

i have driven some 11 flagships from BMW and Benz in last 23 years .. EQS hands down is the best thing i have ever driven and so much so that we bought 2 in 18 days by Trading our almost new ICE cars.. Tesla is not even a consideration in our household for being too bland and not well built..

@alittlebitmoore 10 ай бұрын

Does the EQS need regular servicing ? I may be cynical but Old schoolCar manufacturers are likely to nail you after you buy it with expensive servicing as they have done for decades. No servicing is still one of the many things I love about my Teslas.

Excellent and honest review. Great job. I like the tech in Tesla but hate the customer service I bought 4 teslas starting with my Very Orange Tesla Roadster #796. And 3 model S. Probably my last. Very disappointed in FSD. 11.4.4 sucks. The fact that you can never call anyone. When I started with Tesla I had the numbers and contact info for the head of service and Battery development. Now I can’t talk to someone in Reception at a local service center.

Tesla interior does look super cheap esp the dashboard and seats. I only like its speedy performance and onscreen features. Took my gf to both dealers last week, Tesla and Mercedes. At the end she said no to Tesla. Lol. For the low quality components Tesla put in their prices should be lower. They are making way too much money. MB Ev prices are also high 😮

Nice review, thank you! I'll stick to my Tesla soon to be Teslas. Love my '22 MS LR for it's non cluttered interior but placed an order for '24 MX for more cargo space while waiting for my CyberTruck. Have had enough with ICE vehicles made under the MB , BMW and LR logos. And, getting way too old to bother with all those knobs, buttons,etc.

Ahh, the EQS 450 is nice and so much superior to the Tesla - but wait you really need to review the EQS 580. There is no comparison there, night and day - Mercedes quality and luxury outstrip Tesla. Charging, I have no problem charging my 580 at Electrified America (EA), I took a trip from Phoenix to Charlotte North Carolina and had no issue charging (great network). I saw several Tesla charging on EA even though there was a Tesla charging station not more than 5 miles away (?). Best though the trip was free as Mercedes gives you 2 years of free charging (with 30 minute sessions). Another differentiator - Hyper screen, it's awesome, one screen across the entire dash, look beautiful. O can go on and on, love my EQS 580!

It’s… just not great UI design for such a premium brand. I guess the “glass toy” icons work for some demographics, but it just feels like automakers are the last to leave the skeuomorphic aesthetic in the dust. The RGB strip LEDs everywhere makes it feel more like a gaming rig than a luxury SUV.

I have not driven the EQS or any other MB EVs. But I testdrove a new Model X and was surprised at how noisy it still is as well as the poor ride quality despite having air suspension with the improvements from the Raven upgrade. Very disappointed in the X. (And of course the Model Y noise and ride are even worse.)

Great review! If you turn off the creep function the car will come to a complete stop without hitting the breaks on strong recuperation. If you give the back seat pen holder a second light push it will slide all the way out into a cup holder.

So you’re telling us you’ve never had a better car? I drove a 2018 Raptor in high school, back then i thought it was the best thing in the world until I got my hands on a GLS580 in sophomore year of college. Two months ago i went back to Shanghai and rode in my dad’s Maybach.. all i can say is you need to experience different things to enjoy life instead of living in a bubble

The high-end EQS would really get spanked by the high-end Model X (the Plaid version). We added "Tesla" puddle LEDs for about 10 bucks. All that ambient lighting is pretty annoying. I get the feel and quiet of the Benz but I'm not a fan of the front end. You didn't mention it but I believe owners are locked out of the hood area of the EQS, period. And Benz does require "service".

@davidluchenbill3671 10 ай бұрын

Being a R1S owner and have driven Model X, I prefer R1S more. R1S & MX are more practical for family with kids where EQS SUV is more for adults. Level-3 autonomy, HUD, rear wheel turning, ambient light, massage option and quiet cabin are basically new hallmark of Mercedes Benz brand.
