Will you test drive the Mercedes EQS?

[feye]

@feye : only 120k€ for EQS? My Taycan 4 configuration was 147k€.
I was playing with EQC, made over 110k€, while EQS configuration is not available in my country.

Exactly, I think the EQS has a reasonable starting price, for the car and tech you get.

Definitely. I just wish they kept the front like the concept.

Had MB come even close to the concept design, a lot of car makers would be wetting the bed at night. As it stands, it is completely boring on the outside (but not ugly) and supreme on the interior. It should keep the geriatric crowd pretty happy but it will not be a viable alternative to a Taycan. The EQSuv may however prove to be a nice stablemate for the Taycan. Let's see if MB does any better with the EQE, my guess is that it will mimic the jellybean design of the EQS.

My comment on the concept was build it, don't change a thing.
The end result is alas a slow boat.
0-100 in 6.2 seconds, I know there is more in driving a car. I do it in half that time...with a big grin on my face. I can't imagine having that same grin in the EQS.

Couldn't resist:

The EQE might be a little better. Its less of that senseless "One Bow Design" to market as the best drag coefficient car

a year after my taycan lease is up, it will be a contender

Is it worth?
I’m not familiar with your situation/numbers, but in my case, there’s no sense to lease a car for a two-three years, even if it’s on company expences.

Interesting that MB was cruising around in Michigan -- probably checking out how the EQE performs during car-jackings in Detroit.

That was Irvine, CA. Lots of car companies around there. I saw a KIa EV6 with no camo cruising around the other day

39 months is a typical term in the US

 

[B61]

I see…, so in 39 months, you are going to pay let’s say 140k$….and then, you’ll get for the car….less than 100k And make a new lease for a new car?
what’s the amount ofdeposit,and monthly payment?

Recently there was a long range test drive of the Mercedes EQS with the large battery. The guy drove from Munich to Berlin. It was 638km (396mi) without recharging. He arrived with 48km (30mi) range left. Total 686km (426mi). Average speed 104 km/h (64.6 mph) consumption 15.8 kWh. (25.4kWh/100mi).

Plug&charge on Ionity working.
Charging rate over 200kW adding 300km in 15 min. (almost as good as Taycan?)
From 6% to 79% SoC average 163 kW.
It was the most quiet EV he has ever driven.
Extremely efficient highway driving with 15-16kWh/100km (24.1-25.7kWh/100mi) driving 130km/h (80.8 mph).

Now that I have seen the Man (Jay Leno) test the EQS and give it a thumbs-up, it will be hard to resist taking it for a test drive. Most interesting is seeing the car in all black (finally) and on the road. It actually looks very respectable -- not nearly as jelly-beany as other variants that have been published. For sure not a Taycan competitor in terms of sheer good looks and handling, but anyone who buys a Model S without giving this car serious consideration will be making a big mistake.

Has Jay Leno ever given a negative comment on a car?

Also this might be the GT73e. Better lines, less egg shaped. Reveal will be tomorrow

I'm all ears ... please, explain, if it's not a secret?
