It's clear that Robert is having way more fun since Jack joined the team, I haven't heard him laugh this much for some time! You two make a great team, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this creative goodness.
Since luxury cars are all about quietness and smoothness and the most comfortable journey, I think Rolls Royce and Bentley have to step up their game and bring an EV soon.
Agree 👍 they are in the stone age increasing pressure to move off toxic fossil fuel burning huge toxic cars 🔥 embarrassment 😳 not good 🤣 go quick quiet go electric renewable energy 😉
To be honest I'm surprised Rolls in particular haven't jumped on the EV bandwagon earlier. It seems that an electric powertrain would suit their philosophy much better than an ICE powertrain. Driving smoothly with an EV is always going to be easier than with ICE.
I, personaly, have always hated every ounce of him and even considered setting my fat Ma on him, but since that sceen .... Now I think he's OK ....pretty funny really!
Really enjoyed the sketch you guys pulled with the review. A lot of car reviews can get a bit boring, so adding some humor really helped me stay engaged.
SO FUNNY! I'm an "irregular viewer", so I noticed you have a new beard guy to replace the one who left a while ago - he's BRiLLIANT! Loved the way he played along with the whole thing... Probably going to watch a bit more now :)
Love it almost don’t even remember what the video was about, such great quality in the shows and it’s good to have the two of you doing the little skits together.
I have never really been bothered what a car looks like on the outside, as long as its not ugly, its ok. The EQS exterior is ok. The interior matters far more, that's where I spend my time and the EQS is beautiful inside.
This is what Fully Charged is good at. Great edutainment without the infomercial feel of the Home series. Great rapport, surpassing even than which Robert had with Jonny Smith.
@@Sidowse I mean they also drove the rear wheel drive one, not the AWD. Not every press car is fully spect, but usually well equipped. I dislike it, when reviewers don't educate themselves on the options a car has to offer, look at the car they're given and just assume a feature isn't available just because their car doesn't have it. I understand that that is a ton of work but I like to think it's necessary to educate buyers
I look forward to FC reviewing the Lucid Air when they hit the roads in customer hands later this year. Customers who have ordered the Lucid Air are now being asked to spec their vehicles - so deliveries could be sooner than we think.
I am surprised that Fullycharged starts complaining about the look, which is a subjective thing. I will personally enthusiastically highlight the outstanding aerodynamic coefficient and not even try to indulge narcissistic aesthetic aspects. We are talking about the most aerodynamic car ever made and that deserves only praise. Still, you are my favorite channel by far!!😘
Yes, aesthetics are a subjective thing. And Jack was offering his own subjective opinion on that. Where's the problem here? I mean, comfort is also a subjective thing too. So should they not mention the head-rests, massage features or the quality of the leather? Whether one appreciates the haptic feedback of a traditional button to an abstract touchscreen control is a matter of opinion - therefore, beyond the realms of ever being mentioned? For goodness' sake, a car review, by its nature, is a subjective opinion piece. A polemic. Where did you ever get the perverse idea that any media you consume isn't, at its heart, subjective, I'll never know. The danger here is not the offering of subjective opinion, it's the broken notion present in anyone's head that anything else actually exists. It's not whose "fake news" you're subjected to, but your fundamental incapacity to critically evaluate that pretty much everything contains some level of bollocks within it, of your own accord, that leads to error and catastrophe. You disagree with me? Good. And that's how it should be. Won't be censoring my sincerity for you, though, as - it must be understood - I'd be doing you the greatest disservice in so doing, so I refuse to sell you short with the simple, yet wrong, untruth of the matter. All in my humble opinion, of course.
I love Jack's humour, intelligence and insight into the cars he drives, but why does his sartorial choices always make him look like he's just been released from prison! 😆
Just one look at that exterior, says they have no intention to TRY to lure the rich and famous out of gas guzzlers. This is designed for.. actually, I don’t know who.. I would say a rich, old person who cares about climate change.. which is what? Like a handful of people?
@@el_covfefe That's what they advertise.. but some elements don't seem as good as the S-Class, I think. Specially in the rear seats. For driving, it must feel as good if not better.
@@ruimpinho Bingo! Benz customers are not hyper mileage people. Sure some will buy the EQS because it's the new shiny thing. However so is the S Class for the same money. Also on a side note the EQS bar of soap style died in the 90s. The competition have cars that don't compromise & are equally aerodynamic.
I saw the time for this video and I was thinking, it must be too long, when I got to the end, I was sorry it ended so quickly. I loved the review and more importantly, the humor! Thank you!!!
I saw it is only rwd... checked the net, and discovered the 450+ isn't the top of the line... to get a dual motor, you need to go to the 580 ... presumably with rear seat massage...
I was under the impression, I don't know why, I must have read or heard it somewhere. The leather for car seats doesn't come from the same cow as your steak. Same as dairy cows general aren't used for meat, or leather. It's a great waste of an animal and I'm sure needs investigating by someone. I think the cows for leather are more pampered so they don't get stressed and create flaws in the leather.
Didn't come for the car one bit, but you can be sure I stayed for the comedy show. Absolutely loved the comedic energy and vibes Jack & Bobby have together
Ewww being a Merc that electric drive train would cost a fortune to fix in 10 years. That low purchase price would just be too buy an expensive project car.
@@Neojhun you do realise that electric drivetrains are a lot simlper than the gasoline/diesel drivetrains? simpler design makes for less wear/faliure points to "fix".
Having looked at this and a Tesla S , it’s all went down to finance so Renault Twizy it is!
🤣🤣🤣
Good choice 🤭
😅
E scooter !
I know some dodgy bloke from Yorkshire trying to off load a 2nd hand Twizzy . . .
It's clear that Robert is having way more fun since Jack joined the team, I haven't heard him laugh this much for some time! You two make a great team, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this creative goodness.
Couldn’t agree more. I love all the presenters, past and present, but the Bob & Jack double act is particularly delightful.
Jack was the best choice
Couldn't agree less
Jack ruins this channel. I can only cope with about 2 minutes of him.
He's literally, enjoying tacking a backseat now
I hope his Lordship will grace us with his presence again during his help's review of the Maybach model.
Lovely blend of story, comedy and a great EV review. Thank you FC! You go from strength to strength.
Since luxury cars are all about quietness and smoothness and the most comfortable journey, I think Rolls Royce and Bentley have to step up their game and bring an EV soon.
Kodak moment?
Agree 👍 they are in the stone age increasing pressure to move off toxic fossil fuel burning huge toxic cars 🔥 embarrassment 😳 not good 🤣 go quick quiet go electric renewable energy 😉
Dump the big luxury car and go for a luxury bus to take the office with you. Electric power of course. Leave cars like this for the drug dealers.
I except their next models will definitely be electric indeed
To be honest I'm surprised Rolls in particular haven't jumped on the EV bandwagon earlier. It seems that an electric powertrain would suit their philosophy much better than an ICE powertrain. Driving smoothly with an EV is always going to be easier than with ICE.
OMG Robert at the window! I can't stop laughing!
It was hilarious. Glad they are having fun with it. Loved Robert ever since watching him on junkyard Wars as a kid
Lord Llewellen has a certain ring to it...
@@timw1971 I would not be surprised in the slightest if he is Knighted at some point, he's done enough to earn it for sure.

"a Whiskey in the morning so I can go to the club ... in the right frame of mind" - AHAHA xD!
This is the kind of content that I subscribe for: unique, lighthearted and still informative
Brilliant, one of the best episodes so far with excellent humour. It would be really great if you did more reviews together like this :)
You will be pleased in the coming weeks.
Really enjoyed the sketch you guys pulled with the review. A lot of car reviews can get a bit boring, so adding some humor really helped me stay engaged.
Came for a peak at the car, stayed for the humor. Mercedes you may just manage to be around another 100 years. Good work.
Well done! Loved the video.
Robert knows how to 'do-it-up' with the posh attitude. Well done!!
This channel needs a TV slot. Presenters, direction & production are all so impressive.
I get the gist. But just to share my uninvited opinion, who watches TV nowadays, anyways
"Off to the 1922 committee.." superb film, great double act guys well done.
Loving the chemistry between Robert and Jack
We demand more Lord Llewellyn!!!
Really enjoyed this episode. The dynamic duo chemistry is working beautifully.
8:44 The thermostat is set once and forgotten. 20° is just perfect. It manages itself.
I really hope you all get chauffeured to Fully Charged LIVE in these. What an entrance!
But there's only 1 Scarlett!
This or a Lucid Air.
Well done. My squire is very interested in the merc. I am looking forward being chaufferd to montecarlo later this year.. I say jolly good
25 minutes of pure bliss, the car aint bad either chaps!
I think that's the first time we've seen the front of Robert's house rather than the garage... :-) ;-)
Oh I loved the whole bit. Scarlett such an appropriate name for a Chauffer.
As big a fan as I've become in the past while, this is easily the most ENTERTAINING episode 😁
Love the production quality and detail in these shows. Sound, editing comedy, great fun.
"das ist precision" - best Denglish
In Holland we also say ‘Denglish’ being Dutch English, so we need to have another remplacerend word for German English :P
@@SegerGiesbers Genglish and Dunglish maybe? So changing it for both langauges.
@@sapkra love it😂
@@SegerGiesbers "Deutsche-lish", surely?
Moving away from their original design was nothing but a huge let down for me. It was stunning, instead this drab looking blob….
SO FUNNY! I'm an "irregular viewer", so I noticed you have a new beard guy to replace the one who left a while ago - he's BRiLLIANT! Loved the way he played along with the whole thing... Probably going to watch a bit more now :)
Robert plays that character so well!
I think it is such a great design of automotive engineering and that interior is just on another level.
Love it almost don’t even remember what the video was about, such great quality in the shows and it’s good to have the two of you doing the little skits together.
"Sir" Robert in his skivvies, downing a bottle of 'something' rather quickly.. Dying of laughter here.. :ROFL:
I have never really been bothered what a car looks like on the outside, as long as its not ugly, its ok. The EQS exterior is ok. The interior matters far more, that's where I spend my time and the EQS is beautiful inside.
Its a shame because the concept and the preprod vehicles were real lookers
I was disappointed that we didn’t get a look at whatever’s in the frunk/froot.
@@Markle2k that’s because there isn’t one, there’s a filter, only accessible by the workshop
This is what Fully Charged is good at. Great edutainment without the infomercial feel of the Home series. Great rapport, surpassing even than which Robert had with Jonny Smith.
Brilliantly funny video. One of the best you ever made!
The jokes and the chemistry are very heartwarming. Great content, thank you!
You can easily get the massage seats in the back in this normal EQS. You just didn't get the fully spect one
I blame Scarlett :-)
@@Sidowse I mean they also drove the rear wheel drive one, not the AWD. Not every press car is fully spect, but usually well equipped.

Great video - Jack is an exceptional addition to the channel

In the works
@@fullychargedshow Ooh genuinely looking forward to that one chaps!
@@fullychargedshow alright
That things been in development for a decade
*✓✓✓ lucid might be it's only real contender then perhaps? If it shows up.
This great way to do a great stick! I was laughing at whole thing, good job chaps!
Great episode, Will never be in the market for either buying or even being a passenger in one of these, but still worth the watch. Such fun!
Wonderful. Just wonderful. The music...and the car.
The music sir
Rob in his underpants giving a V sign to his driver whilst getting pist, Legend.
At last you have brought the vids down to a level i can relate too.
Loved the setup with the duo... Had me smiling the entire way!
i love the honesty, production value, and of course the humor. you two are always a riot haha
so good! one of the best episodes so far!! well, done guys
This video is a pleasure to watch. FC, you are getting better!
Wow, now that's what I call a dashboard! Non of this silly iPad attached to the air vent look many EVs seem to sport nowadays!

We are interested in technology, efficiency, improvement. This is not Top Gear.
Not quite the most aerodynamic, the GM EV1 and VW XL1 were 0.19, but had fairings over the rear wheels.
I love Jack's humour, intelligence and insight into the cars he drives, but why does his sartorial choices always make him look like he's just been released from prison! 😆
That was quite a bad suit :-)
Congratulations on a great report. I enjoyed it.
Can this electric car lure the rich and famous out of their gas-guzzlers? Keep it clean!

Yeah, because the quietness is what you want with this opulence.
Speed and power isn't that important, it just needs to get effortless.
Lovely to see Robert doing his best Dame Edna impression... 😜👍🤣
Hilariously informative gentlemen! I say, bravo!
Gotta love how this guy picks the thing apart. Crazy. Just be glad you're fortunate enough to be in one.
I think this community's always thought that your hyper luxury cars should be EV. I see absolutely no benefit to any other drivetrain lol.
NVH Noise, Vibration, Harshness.
@@dopaminesoup I think he means within the segment.
These videos are more like a mini movie! Brilliant work by all of you, well done!!
Great presentation guys! Marvelous!
MODEL S Long Range is still light years ahead of it !
This was fantastic, great work FC!!
Absolutely perfect style review for this card. I loved every minute of it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
can't handle the deflated sacs on the headrests! :-)
"The leather is from the softest of cows" LMAO!!!
It was so weird that he said that in seriousness
Robert's head seemed very close to the roof liner ... and he's not particularly tall ...
Seem to remember him saying that he's 6' tall so taller than you might think.
EQS isn’t an S-Class replacement. More like a CLS.
@@ruimpinho but it is a S class replacement
@@el_covfefe That's what they advertise.. but some elements don't seem as good as the S-Class, I think. Specially in the rear seats. For driving, it must feel as good if not better.

The most luxurious EV ever. Amazing, will buy one in 2nd hand
A little part of me wanted Robert to come out in a top-hat.
Have to say, I am not loving the design language coming out of Germany these days.
@@TFT-bp8zk That's who I was mostly thinking of...
I saw the time for this video and I was thinking, it must be too long, when I got to the end, I was sorry it ended so quickly. I loved the review and more importantly, the humor! Thank you!!!
That interior is beautiful. It also the most scifi looking interior ever!
It’s all about the interior with this one.
You've clearly never seen the interior of a Fiat Multipla. WOW!!
check it out
This presenter is really great! Love the charisma. Keep it up!
Outstanding entertainment! Well done guys.
6:16 "Big responsive screen", proceeds to show the map lagging behind his finger...
Hilarious, entertaining and informative. I agree with the critique. Thank you
Nice to see that Jack Whitehall and his Dad have a new job. 👍
Great double act guys! Could we also be witnessing the new Crichton in training?!
That turning is something that feels like it shouldn't be possible when seeing from a bird's-eye view. Here's to the electric revolution!
Now *that's* the proper way to carry pretend luggage - lots of excessive grimacing, staggering, and the odd grunt thrown in for good measure.

Robert's rich old man character was so funny and spot on! Great episode. Loved the EQS.
I’m warming to Jack..even though that looks like his school trousers.. 😉
Improvement over his usual homeless look :)
I can't unsee that now
Jack is just brilliant in everything.
Hope this depreciates like the rest of the S classes. Would love to be hooning around in one of these in 10 years
Ewww being a Merc that electric drive train would cost a fortune to fix in 10 years. That low purchase price would just be too buy an expensive project car.
Nope its electric and it will not depreciate because its EV and it doesn't require maintenance like the ICE version ones.
@@Neojhun I think its just the range that will go down some miles because of the batteries.

@@EXO903 Yes I know that. But this is Modern Mercedes Daimler we're talking about. Even Ford found amazing ways to over complicated Mach E.
Great review... Deserves a million views.
Finally, an affordable electric car for the masses. Oh… wait!
You can’t use Mercedes and affordable in the same sentence …
Why should a luxury car be affordable?
@@christiaanhetzner1193 lol where I live it feels like every 2nd house has a merc.
Oh and Teslas are very affordable too, aren't they? Sheesh.
Cool video, I like the short sequence shot in Zurich :-) (4wheel steering demonstration)
Lord Robert of Rantmore Hall is magnificent! Off to meet all the fracking shareholders on the 1922 Committee - I hope he gave them hell.
This was one of the most enjoyable, entertaining videos you've ever done. Thank you. Will I ever buy a car like this? Not a chance.
That and a cute chauffeur would do me nicely. Nice to see Poldarks house again, sadly he did not have his top off in the window 😀
"You can massage me from the front" LOL. Sounds wrong, but hilarious all the same.
I have to say I really like the look of this car, way more so than any backwards Rolls Royce or Bentley.
8:33 I agree with you. Once I put my finger on the button, I don't need to keep my eyes on the screen anymore. I can go back looking at the road..!
Brilliantly presented! Loved every moment of it
Thank you, that's great to hear
Thank you for the insightful review of the electric car that I've been waiting for the most. I did appreciate the English humor touches ;)
