    No, the charge port on the left hand side of the car is NOT the correct side. In continental Europe where you usually park on the right hand side of the street when you do curbside parking and you want to do charging, it is shieeeet with a charge port on the left.

    Nice test Bjørn! I was testing this EQS580 about 2 weeks ago and it made a great impression! I`m driving a Tesla X 100D, and this is the first car that just blow me away, since Tesla X came (but there is things I dont like about X also!). Accelaration 0-100 km/h 4,3 sec is fantastic for a car this heavy. Long range capacity is a ++. Stereo and massage in the seats was nice, head up very good, suspension was even better than Audi Q7. Everything just gave me a good feeling when driving this car! But, I need a SUV, and MB EQS is not, and then it was the price. 1,4 mill NOK!! But again, this car is a new league!! Looking forward to the SUV coming!!

    Great result in winter.
    I would argue that Tesla Model S with nominal tire pressure empty at 45 psi 19" and 42 psi 21" has an edge over the 38 psi EQS use, especially the Hakka R3 will benefit from higher pressure regarding consumption and driving feel. On the other hand, the Tesla's higher than usual tire pressure also reduce comfort and increase noise.
    EQS is also 400 kg heavier and much better leg room than Model S with similar boot space.

    Thanks for sharing! I feel like this video pretty much sums up, what the issue is with the hysteria for ever bigger range. Even on long range travel, you don’t use utilize it. You have to stop anyway to pee. And you pay for it with immensely higher weight.

    • @ellistreloar2047
      @ellistreloar2047 2 года назад +2

      Exactly! Well said. The only issue then is the capacity of the public charging network, for 5% of drivers that are road warriors and when many people are making more longer journeys eg, holidays. For most drivers, most of the time, driving average journeys (less than 10 miles in the UK for the last 20 years) they will charge at home so it is not an issue at all.

    the Range on this thing is humongous.
    A guy from germany test drove the car from munich to berlin which was roughly 550km.
    He didnt drive slow but iirc not more than 150 km/h (the car is really aerodynamic!) but he made the trip without charging once.
    Close call with 18km range left and it was during late summer, so perfect temperatur for energy saving but he did make it there without pluggin in once.

      The EPA range of German manufacturers is usually too small, as they take the less time-consuming test. The correct range is multiplied by 0.7 to simulate cold temperatures. The other method would be to run tests at every temperature and calculate these complexly with one another. In a test by Nextmove of the Taycan 4S and the Model S Raven Performance with an average speed of 110 km / h, the Porsche drove 376 km and the Model S 424 km.

The long range taycan EPA range had around 200miles but it could do around 300 miles. Mercedes eqs 450+ i guess can do 650+ km maybe little more. I want to see Lucid Air also i think it follows Tesla method so it gonna be closer to eqs.

    The point you make about consumption depending on the tires and the rims is a very important one. The BMW configurator for the i4M50 shows that the range can drop up to an estimated 50Km depending on the rim/tire combination you choose. Some people don't care anyway, but it's an important one to consider for this kind of standardized tests.

    Considering that this is probably the least efficient configuration, with all wheel drive and 21" inch 265 winter tires, in temperatures around 2-7 degrees Celsius, sometimes wet roads and that it is a big fat 5.2m long 2.7t car, the consumption is excellent.
    I bet the eqs 450+ on 19 inch tires in summer will beat all current other cars in the 1000 km challenge and will only be beaten by lucid when it is available.

      That consumption is not excellent lol. Name one other “high end” car, or even another sedan that gets those numbers. The only cars _that_ inefficient are overly large SUV’s or extremely inefficient outliers. These efficiency numbers are not excellent from a 107kWh battery, no matter how you put it. Are they fine? Sure. Will they get you where you’re going? Yep. But the efficiency of this car is nowhere near “excellent”.

    • @lubder

      @@philorgneopolotin8762 Of course it is. You seem to forget that this car is big and heavy, that it was cold and on huge winter tires with 21 inches / 265, of course, this has a significant impact on consumption.
      That that is still so underestimated from many I do not understand. Even a truck can be very efficient, although it consumes a lot. Compare it with Bjorn's results in his linked table, there is no other car in his list that goes further in winter. Of course, this is also due to the large battery.
      Still, a 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR (82 kWh), with 235/45-18 at 27 degrees manages 563km at 90km/h, in winter with the same tire sizes at 2degrees only 468.
      If they repeat the test of the EQS in summer with 19", the difference will be huge. especially also with the EQS 450+ without AWD. The car is very efficient, other tests confirm that, Edmunds managed 422 miles in his test and even then it wasn't the best tires on it.
      What do you expect from such a car? That it will use less energy than a car with much smaller tires and a ton less weight? Ever heard of physics?

    Hello Bjorn, I don't know if you did it in the past, but can you introduce this test for every EV you review it - the test is about how much energy the battery will lose overnight or after 2 days of staying in the parking lot. For example if you have the battery charged to 80% in the evening , how much percentage you will find in the battery the next morning or after 2 or more days of the EV parked , in different temperature conditions. This is a good comparison with an ICE car, as no matter how many days you will park a car with 20 litters of gas in the tank you will find the same 20 litters after a day, a week or one month after the vehicle was parked in a parking lot at different temperature conditions! This will be a very important factor in choosing the next EV you want to buy! Thanks!

    • @stefanwagener
      @stefanwagener 2 года назад +2

      You need to define what you want to test, like alarm mode on or off, accessibility through your smartphone or not, from Tesla we know that all these things require power, some other manufacturers don't even offer those features. And ICE cars cannot offer those features as no standard 12V battery would be able to support this for more than a few hours. If this consumption is of major concern for you, better get a vehicle that doesn't have those features and also will not see updates that could introduce those features at a later point in time.
      I agree that around 1kWh per day for Teslas seems a little bit high, and it should be possible to offer the same features with less consumption, but at the end we are talking about costs of around 100 bucks per year which compared to consumption while driving is not that significant ... assuming you drive a few thousand km per year.
      Additionally it is also difficult to test as battery looses capacity when getting cold (e.g. over night) and because of the consumption is relatively low, you probably need to test for many more than just 2 days to get meaningful accuracy. And then you might want to know how much more power is needed when alarm is on compared to when it is off, with mobile access on/off and then you we are talking about repeating this several-days-test with different configuration which adds up to weeks of testing before you get results that really become useful and comparable among car makers.

      @@stefanwagener Yes, that's why it is important to test this aspect too, in ICE car you can have alarm too, stationary heating/ventilating, maybe no sentry cameras but those can be added later by you, and from my experience there is no problem for 12V battery to keep up. I think it's a simple test, as anyway you have the car for 2 or more days, you let the basic function on - like for an ICE car - you verify the state of charge in the evening and again in the next morning or after 2 days and check the temperature outside the car, if you can have the same car in the summer too you repeat the test AND ADD A SPECIAL COLUMN IN THAT FAMOUS EXCEL OF BJORN, this way you don't have a surprise when you buy a new EV.
