My Taycan for sure would have given me the "electrical system error, Stop vehicle in a safe place"! :)

From the comment section, so not my words! ;)

I agree with the stops, I also need them, unless there was an actual working self driving feature, which was smart and safe enough. Left with 100% Soc on Thursday morning. Came back Sunday late afternoon with 11% SoC left. Never needed to think about charging. The car simply drives further...

See my post above. Stopping on trips for charging, when you don't need to otherwise is annoying. Been there too often! I really like my Taycan, and would be happy if it even had a lighter battery, but not less capacity. The new battery from CATL is really something. Happy to see the progress...

I agree for your use case, a heavy battery makes not much sense. Here it's different now, since recently we travel a lot for golf tournaments. Today was the first time, I took our new Zeekr 001 with 140 kWh Battery. The range is a monster! Left with 100% charge. Outside temp 30 °C with some...

So basically, they are still not competing, just producing to make the regulators happy. In certain parts the infrastructure is ok, but then: A few weeks ago, I was in Germany with a BMW iX. Battery only 77kWh, way to small. When arriving at the hotel, basement parking 16 Euros a night. I asked...

I see. For my purpose the swapping and monthly costs make no sense. Buying it is simply too expensive. The car inside is too naked, not worth it in my opinion.

Prefer to wait for the Macan SUV or Audi Q6 with larger battery and new EV platform. I like the EQE, but I guess the new Macan will look even better. The only Problem is the software. For EU, the Merc Software is top notch. I don't think Porsche can match that anytime soon...

Exactly my thinking. With that range you go on trips, and you don't worry anymore where to charge and how to plan it, you just stick it when it's convenient. Also the big battery can add over 200km range in 5 min with 800V. Heading out now, lets see what we buy!

3 Chinese EV manufactures moved on to 800/900V platforms.

Different model, weather, battery problem in his car, power electronics problem in his car, cooling issues in his car? So strange...

Never sat in a NIO ET7. Is NIO selling in Holland? Is the price competitive? Don't like the battery renting swapping idea. If you buy new and swap it out for a battery with less than 90% SoH, you suddenly have 10% less range? It's just not appealing. Having said that, Porsche needs over 4...

No, of course not. Porsche does not have a supplier nor does it has the in-house capability to produce these kind of batteries in quantities. Even if they were pulling it off, they would certainly never offer it for these prices. I only put the price in, because I want to show how similar the...

You are funny! Compare to Taycan maybe, compare to other cars in similar price range: OMG!!! Size of a model S Power and luxury like my Taycan 4S+ 100kWh battery 800V EV platform like Taycan Better range than T and my Taycan 4S+ Air suspension Quieter cabin than T Certainly much better...

50 years??? My MS90D is 7-8 years old and literally falling apart. Please give me some of the stuff you are smoking, since I am desperately seeking for a happy end with my MS90D junk. o_O

Here prices coming down. The economy is in the toilet and the competition is fierce. Most companies have stock. I get a Audi Q4 in 2 weeks fresh out of the factory. BMW new i3 in 4 weeks. Merc EQE, VW ID.3/4/6, all ready in 2 days. I thought you like it so much. How do you come to that...

Exactly. To my knowledge, it really is the world's first EV with such a large battery AND luxury interior. Not decided yet. I'll keep reporting...

I put the price in, because power vs battery size is roughly the same on this car. The difference in weight is about 100kg, because the new large battery has a better Wh/kg and only RWD instead of the more powerful AWD.

Back to the MB gulag? I really like the EQE SUV and would like to buy on, but not available. Also the battery is simply too small when compare with the coming Polestar 3 with 111kWh. The Chinese EQE has 96.1 kWh. Slightly better but still no step forward.

From a consumer point of view, I found the argument what I pay at the charger is the real efficiency most appealing, because that also makes EVs very comparable. I think Mercedes has work to do.
