I agree they have work todo. While that is definitely neither good for the bank account nor for the environment, the car actually has the range in accordance of the consumption the car reports and the net battery capacity reported.
So charging losses seem to be the issue.
However, I have never...
I beg to differ, but there is a difference between charging and driving efficiency. I can drive the EQS with around 26kWh/100 for a 1000km round trip, going as fast as the Autobahn allows me to, and 160kmh when ever allowed. It’s pretty clear that that is the actual consumption, as the 107.8kWh...
Yeah, higher speeds are definitely the very strong point of the EQS. However, car Maniac has a 580, which is the AWD version. Until the change in production in August 2023, all AWD EQS, EQS SUV and EQE lack the DCU on the front axle, meaning AWD models suffer drag losses from the front motor...
I really don’t think the Polestar 3 is going to perform that great, especially on the Autobahn.
It has a Cd of 0.29, which really is not great.
Its‘ CdA is quoted to be 0,78, which means a frontal area of 2.69 sqm. That’s big!
A Q8 E-Tron, really not a particularly efficient car, has a 2.65sqm...
The EQE SUV will certainly be a fantastic car to drive. However, it doesn’t match the mile munching capabilities of the EQS. Its‘ higher Form factor and shorter tail mean a larger frontal area and a larger drag coefficient.
Although this will not be as much of an issue in countries where the...
BMW for examplifies everything that is wrong with modern cars. I really don't like the looks of the i7 at all. It looks huge, is not really made for driving the car yourself, and is made for ICE, PHEV, and BEV at the same time. Idk, I don't get any appeal from this monstrosity of a car, being...
Just my two cents on the EQS, its‘ styling, what it does well, and what it lacks.
I have now gathered a lot of experience with 3 of the probably 4 best luxury BEVs on sale.
Taycan (GTS ST), Tesla Model S (100D and Raven Performance), and EQS 450+ (with the Lucid Air missing).
The EQS is a great...
