The Mercedes naming convention is actually a little messed up for EVs. They've got the EQA, EQB and EQC that are based on the SUV versions (GLA, GLB, GLC), then they've got the EQS and EQE that are equivalents of the S Class and E Class. So, if they do an EV equivalent of a normal A Class or C Class, they'll have to change the naming scheme because EQA and EQC are already taken.

glad you are enjoying your EQS. I also have a EQS on order, i can't wait. Yes, I think the tech can be overwhelming and no I do not LOVE the exterior but i don't think it's ugly. However, I know that I will enjoy the ride and have fun playing with the technology. I did consider Tesla Model S Plaid, Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air. As for Tesla, no doubt they have superior SW and charging networks, but i hate the yoke steering and for the price, I want a car that has better build quality and more luxurious interior/features. As for Lucid Air, it looks like a great design but I am not willing to bet on a brand new company with this kind of money who also does not have a service center where i live. Porsche Taycan is a great car, but it is just too small and too sporty for me. So, EQS is not perfect but it offers many that Tesla and other can't. I look forward to getting my EQS.

Zero layer AI is probably the most underrated feature because it reduces your need to wade through menus and screens to find the features you most use on a regular basis. A safety feature in my view compared to other UX. Plus the fact that it adapts to each driver. Also little things like using cameras inside the car to detect who is reaching for the screen so it can make it easier to reach functions. It’s bring a certain luxury aka convenience that you don’t see in other screens. Given everyone is going the no buttons / only screens way these distinctions need to be highlighted more.

Because people are sheeps. Thats it. Here in europe I have a 15 year old alfa diesel and the car still goes 650 miles/1100km on a single tank. Imagine me buying a $80k EV to go 150 miles lmao and with no way of charging it. With no propaganda and moronic EU regulations, nobody would buy shitty EVs.

Yes and now people hate on Tesla because of build quality but they are still the only EV brand that produces cars that are not a pain to own and drive. Charging any other EV at other stations on road trips is a total disaster compared to a Tesla or a ICE car.

EQC & EQB already has been released. They are just based on the ICE equivalent. EQC is horrible as the big ICE SUV chassis from GLC is very inefficient for BEV. But the smaller EQB makes sense as a city commuter car that doesn't need massive range. I personally just like the boxy design of the GLB.

To to clarify, the two tone in not available in Canada or the USA. How did you spec the Canadian car with the premium package and exclusive interior and the nice looking 21 inch wheels? When ordering you can only get one of two nice AMG 21 inch wheels if you get the sports interior, or if you want the nice interior, you have to be satisfied with the not so nice 20 inch wheels, unless you buy a second set of wheels and tires for $10,000 plus!

Are the charging plugs hard to use? At 21:00 it seemed like it was difficult to plug and unplug the charging cord. If a person has limited mobility, limited strength or use of a hand it would be difficult to use.

@TheStraightPipes 2 жыл бұрын

They're always short, extremely rigid especially in the winter, and if you don't park on or over the curb they're almost impossible to twist and insert (with one hand). With 2 hands, they're definitely still heavy so yes if someone had limited mobility they are a disaster

@UnnDunn 2 жыл бұрын

The CCS Combo plugs that most non-Tesla EVs (except Nissan Leaf) use for DC Fast Charging are quite heavy, bulky and difficult to use with one hand. But that’s the only plug that has this problem. Tesla vehicles in North America use a proprietary plug which is super light and easy to handle. All non-Tesla EVs use a J1772 plug for Level 1 and 2 charging, and Nissan Leaf uses a CHAdeMO plug for DC fast charging. Both of those are light and easy to handle as well. If you rely exclusively on DC fast chargers, this could be an issue, but chances are you will be doing most of your charging at home using a J1772 plug, and that should be no problem (it’s a lot easier than handling a gasoline pump nozzle, for example).

For the record, Toronto to London and back is under 400km. This car will do over 500. So still no need to charge outside your home. That said, charging infrastructure in NA needs a lot of improvement and better regulations. It's idiotic that every app or card doesn't work at every charger, and that chargers can't just take credit cards. In Europe one card gets me access to just about every charger on the continent; why can't Canada and the States pull that off too?

Tesla turned the once regal and classy luxury model S into a Zoom-Zoom- Dodge Challenger wanna-be with more speed, black accent trim, ugly black wheels, 10 year old body style and an airplane yoke... WTF???. Mercedes has just filled the gap with the EQS. I'm a former Tesla owner now. I traded it for a 450+ ($102K base price) and it even came with a steering wheel!!!! 425 mile reading at 100% charge and it self-drives on par or better in some ways than my Tesla did. And It's plenty fast enough too. This is a car for grown-ups who want every possible creature comfort, class, quiet cabin, great build quality, long battery range with brick and mortar dealerships in every town... It's a dream to drive and turns on a dime. And Mercedes even threw in 2 years of free charging at electrify america.... Nothing to complain about. Plus my Tesla-brand home wall charger works perfectly on the EQS with a $150 doller plug-in converter,....
