I clicked on the link for the 2008 video and as soon as I saw the G-Wiz, I came back to this video. How times have changed... And certainly for the better.
I think the reviewer should do some home work before making videos of electric cars. Efficiency of electric cars is different to normal ones. What about charging on public chargers on the streets? They offer 22kw AC. This car cannot manage beyond 7.2 kw AC charging.
slower than a Model X, less range, no Autopilot and no access to Superchargers, no contest. This car is behind the Tesla before it is delivered to customers
So tesla model x is only in the description as clickbait. No mention at all how it really compares to it. Might that be because tesla only has direct sales and your website cant make any money on it if you buy one.... Those pedals are useless clutter. My experience with my model 3 is you set it and forget it. Once you get use to the strong regen setting it is perfect.
@@PFBNS where I live the starting price for a model X is 86.300€ and the EQC at 75.500€ - First and foremost I think you are getting way more car for your money. The interior design and quality aren't even in the same ballpark. From what I've seen buying a Tesla you are still a beta tester which should not be the case with a huge company like Mercedes standing behind the EQC. Which would also give me confidence in case there are any issues. In Europe the Tesla support is just horrible and given all the problems that they are having and the cost of the car that all should not be the case. Also the financial state of Tesla worries me when thinking about down the road warranty and service. I've also been in a Model 3 driving 100mp/h and the computer just crashed about 3 times as well as the self parking not working about 5 times in a row in a carpark. These are all problems Tesla Fans are kind of accepting but that wouldn't work for an average consumer. Buying an almost 100.000€ car everything has to work all the time. Mercedes can also drive it self and do everything a Tesla can (at least in Europe with our stricter laws and standards) but it just works. In a Tesla some features are even called "Beta" which is a little bit mad when given the price point the the risks.

If they were to upgrade their charging capabilities, this car can win. The biggest thing about this car is the QUALITY interior that’s above any electric competitor today. Just a reality. The Model X has WAY better performance and safety, but this is a Benz. This oozes luxury
Mine says on the dash it can go 360 km on a full charge. The thing is, we actually exceed that range. Yes, exceed. Last week, made a 160km trip and used what the car thought was "130km range", so we had a bonus 30 km "in the tank". Driving most of the way with cruise control in sport mode; often 105 km/h but the average worked out as 60km/h which is about as average as any of our cars got in NZ, what with building sites, villages, and limited speed zones etc. It's not bad at all. Should get near enough to 400 km.
looks any Kia, Honda or Hyundai SUV from the side. The front is butt ugly - sorry. Lose the grill (applies to the Audi and the Jag as well) - the car doesn't need it and maybe the styling could lead one to believe it might be electric instead of just another smallish SUV.
Why isn't the Tesla Model X being compared on the "closest rivals" list? Hint: because the X is better in range, speed, 0-60, recharging rate and has the supercharger network, that's why.
Dieter Zerressen model x is around 10k more , I wouldn’t say that’s comparable :/ I actually drove a model x and was shocked by how bad the fit and finish is, full of plastic , very cool looking but not for me ...
NO...Nothing to see here!! EQC is just a Glorified Nissan Leaf! 200 miles EPA, 150 miles real world & 90 mile during winter!! I am not spending an EXTRA $50,000 for a well trimmed interior, no nah! Thats a poor return on investment.
I got 250 miles out of the I Pace Demo, as I would have a charger at home in my garage, and do about 60 mile round trip into Birmingham four days a week changing my F Pace to an I Pace makes sense I am sorry to say as a petrol head, I am lucky to own something else for the weekend but ..but can’t stop progress
Don't understand why electric cars are inflated price compared to similar diesel powered car. Battery costs have come down and it is a way simpler configuration compared to ice + geared transmission.
Look up the complaints on social media. The model 3 is catastrophic in terms of quality. Other than that: The model 3 is a totally different category. And: The interior couldn't hold a candle compared to that of a EQC. It consists of a cheap tablet and a steering wheel lol
@@PFBNS seats are not the problem in Tesla. Very cheap and rattling plastics are. It's very noticeable driving in uneven roads as there's no engine noise. I can't stand it.
Tesla have better charging hands down, but build quality and the actual feeling you have in the car is EQC all the way. Comparing the Model Y and the EQC. Also, no one is wrong, it’s personal preference.
Yes Tesla should be worried coz it is Mercedes and more experienced than Tesla. It was Daimler who bought 10% stake in Tesla in 2009 and started giving them support in terms of engineering. Tesla took 1-2 years to launch the product but Mercedes took almost 10 years in research and testing and then launched the product. That’s a speciality of Germans. Mercedes MBuX System is way advanced than any other automotive’s infotainment System
And this is why Tesla has a huge advantage over the other brand : they manage from the start with THE big problem of electric cars, which is the charge points. The Supercharger are quite easy to find, Ionity chargers are and will remain rare for some years. Which means if you can afford a Tesla, you chould buy one for the next 5 years. This Mercedes is a very interesting car, I like it (more than the Audi e-Tron), but it's not on the same level than a Tesla, sorry.
2:35 is the perfect reason why we need to get rid of the RHD car market. More than 70% of the world's population is right-handed. Having tried using systems like this on BMW, Lexus and what have-you in the UK, the user experience trying to write words or navigate with your less dominant (left) hand is frankly terrible and unsafe even when you're stuck at the lights.
112 miles per hour top speed. That's like top speed of a small car that's ridiculous small that money. Don't think I'll be any good in the autobahn then for Germans. 😆
Is it really environmentally friendly to have an electric car? What about producing that electricity for mobility? doesn`t it harm the environment versus combustion - engine cars?
europe is going towards renewable energy sources, such as wind, water, solar and geothermal, so in that case it's ok... even when producing electricity from coal, pollution is more manageable and production is more effective.. the biggest issue is production of batteries and recycling
Oh Mario. And global warming is a myth and the polar ice cap is actually expanding.....oh oh oh and Trump is not a narcissistic liar....oh oh this is British humour in case your confused......
Alan Wayte easy to mock, but he asked a fairly reasonable question. Certainly when you factor in production of these electric cars, the environmental gap between EVs and IC vehicles narrows.
Oh Philip...let’s state the obvious shall we.....my “mobile phone in 1988 had a battery the size of a brick” I have currently 80%of my home electricity in Spain supplied via Solar panels less so granted in my U.K. address...but battery technology and especially for me to run electric car in Spain......
Tesla X or Y. BTW Tesla Sat Nav works out route by chargers and it knows whats occupied and free, Tesla re gen sorted with one pedal and brakes normal....way to go. Regardless of range when you have a Tesla you have 24/7 100% up time infrastructure that allows road trips .....there is no other.
@@xerexon2k I have as well as several others but they are not integrated into the Tesla Sat Nav so you dont know if they are functioning, occupied, empty, how many free bays so you dont know if they are working or available before you get there so there is no other system like Teslas own. The car plans a road trip knowing the supercharge is 100% ok,
Click-bait title. How could ever this car be bettet than a Tesla. You have to pray to get 400Km of range. You don’t know how battery life will endure charging cycles. You have a design (especially the front), that in 10 years time will make people wonder “what in god’s earth were those guys thinking about when trying to be different with that front end ridiculously sad design”. Go check yourself the rest on why Tesla is absolutely ground breaking. Don’t take my word for ir. Check and test-drive.
Haha, why would anyone be worried! It's a merc and I could probably buy a small island somewhere for less than the asking price. Fk in joke the more money people have the more fk in stupid they are. Of course it's worth it!.....you keep tying to convince yourself.
Audi/ Merc "Great quality" (I assume you mean?) But Needs to be with the amount of time you'll spend charging! Also, when Tesla upgrades next year that means you'll be REALLY impressed... No doubt?? (Volvo interior designer in the house!)

Tesla still crushed competition
Model X not
To mention the supercharger network that separates all the competitors

model 3 is still better in terms of
price
performance

I wouldn't choose it, even if you gave it to me.
The EQC is a great car for... 2012 😂
Endemic range = 👎🏻
Choose the Mercedes, because it looks a lot better than the model x
Not even close. That EQC front end is the homeliest thing about it. I'd call it "frumpy".
