Someone in my town just got a black EQS, it looks a lot better in person than in photos and videos. It still doesn't have the presence of an S-Class though but it's not bad.
EV adoption is accelerating every year. Exponential not linear. The only limiting factor is batteries. The number of electric vehicles and types of vehicles and trucks is growing. Many people are holding off buying a new car or scooter until the electric vehicle they want becomes available.
put the charge port in the front makes more sense as you typically charge in a parking space and it allows you to park without having to face head out and allows you to charge while towing a trailer.
You said the difference between 3 seconds and 2 seconds at some point in a 0-60 test isn't distinguishable, Actually it very much is. It's something that can be very much felt.
Building a car with a hood that does not open is the best wet dream a German engineer can have. I believe they tried it once already and it was a disaster
One of the first batches of US-Spec EQSs in my state arrived at my local dealer a few days ago. Over half are pending sale already.. And also, I noticed that on the trunk of this AMG EQS, there is no "53" badge even though it is called the EQS53...is there a reason for that?
Difference between EQS and Tesla? First and foremost, build quality and engineering is literally light years beyond Tesla. Tesla is not only not in the same zip code but not even the same state.
it's not bad, but I can't help but feel an AMG model is broadline antithetical to the goal of this car. to be fair, AMG has gone the right way here, just give it more passing power and NOT RUINING THE RIDE. Still, until there's a Maybach version, I'd stick with the non-AMG version. Even though the people who buy this car will be buying it 80% of the time just for the AMG badge.
Aero. It’s that simple. They need to airflow around the car to be ideal because a lot of energy is wasted pushing the air around the car. With electric propulsion energy is at a premium to maximize range.
@@cleetismcdougall5425 Yeah this answers the comments about the guys talking about airflow, that truck still looks more like a regular truck but only a few changes for aero
I'll get a Plaid! This is cool but with Tesla's charging network and performance ok plus the price, you can beat that! Of course the Plaid is missing some luxury creature comforts but it has 90% of what the EQS has
@@donaldlester1997 they are fine! The issue is with other brands is the charging network... Tesla has the best and most reliable charging Network! Plus the prices are great and performance are bar non! I bet this AMG EQS cost about 200k...

@@ramkumarshriswaminathan4244 I'll still get a Plaid over this EQS AMG. The charging network of Tesla is the best and has the greatest foundation in the US for reliable charging!
A big complain with this new EQS, it's mainly due to it exterior looking like a Honda Accord. But it was a great introduction of Mercedes-Benz to the BEV luxury market.
So I own an AMG C43 Cabriolet. I was told by enthusiasts that it's not a "real" AMG because it doesn't have a hand-built engine. EQS AMG. If this is the future, then say goodbye to "real" AMG's, or believe AMG engineers when they say there is more to AMG than the engine.
Ten years from now when the Mercedes engineering breaks this is going to be super expensive to repair. The three giant screens, the double moonroof, the rear wheel steering, the battery, is all going to bad in ten years or maybe less. This will be a lease only car with the full warranty. Or wait ten years and buy it for $6500 and hope all that stuff as been sorted out before you buy it
Roman, EQS and Tesla Model S are not compatible! Model S is a smaller car and is compatible with Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 series. So comparison should be done with the EQE when available.
Most of these cars will never see or need a charging rate greater than the 7.2 kw that comes from the level 2 charger in their garage. Ask me how I know.
Drove an EQS580 this past weekend. Not really impressed. The exterior does not equate to 130k. The back seat legroom feels like an E class. Dunno, I just wasn't impressed with the car overall. My model Y performance feels like there is more rear seat legroom. Taycan GTS vs this, I am leaning towards the Porsche for my next car since the legroom sucks in the EQS.
There cannot be more leg room in model Y for sure since it just measures 4.75m versus 5.22m of EQS. And taycan is 4.96. And you can't also blame EQS for its lack of utilisation of space since it has the shortest bonnet in length. One thing that you could complain about is the inclination of your knees since batteries take up the space at the bottom and you have much less space between seats and floor. If you still insist on the legroom problem in EQS I think you have mistakenly understood in your test drive or something wrong with the settings. Please redo your test drive.

It shows that the car is fast AND can handle which means its designed well, and will be fun to drive, fast or slowly. But 0-60, totally pointless.

I was wondering if I should change my EQS 580 order to the AMG but, after hearing the performance and range specs, I'm sticking with what I've got.
Nice rims. Looks like the rest of the car was designed in the wind tunnel.
That 'HYPER SCREEN' is pretty sharp.... Love that! 👍🏼💯❤️
I'm not really keen on a vehicle designed to not be serviceable.
That being said, it's quite pretty to me.
They actually discourage you from opening the hood on the infotainment system. It's not permitted by the end user :(
I really wish Mercedes did more with the exterior for the AMG model
Like what? Add a big wing from AutoZone?

Building a car with a hood that does not open is the best wet dream a German engineer can have. I believe they tried it once already and it was a disaster
And where exactly is the 12V battery and how to you get a jump start? EVs are notorious for having 12V batteries failing due lack of deep cycling.
12v is under the hood which they don’t want you to access.
Interior is really nice
Was this video filmed in Yucca Valley? Or 29-Palms? Please someone tell me!!
2:35 - I believe Audi A2 had a similar port (not only for the washer liquid but also for the oil (understandably!)) twenty years ago.

You could option it with a 19 inch if you want.
Difference between EQS and Tesla? First and foremost, build quality and engineering is literally light years beyond Tesla. Tesla is not only not in the same zip code but not even the same state.
