I just took delivery of an EQS 450+ SUV yesterday and it is incredible. My first electric so I have nothing to compare it to but it's exceeded all my expectations. I saw that the MB service department has cleaners and protectors for all the various finishes so you don't have to worry about damage using the wrong product. I love all the features, especially the massaging seats LOL.
You could wrap the piano glossy finish with some matt wood finish; I'm sure there will be after market options very soon. Helps also to keep it nice and scratchless until you sell your EQS again.
The instrument cluster looks a bit odd in this type of refined design car. At least they could have given it an arch and a bit of concave shape instead of this horizontal iPad box.
Nice overview, I like the driver perspective you captured with the GoPros. I'm not sure what it is, but everytime Mercedes includes any screen in their cars it looks terribly cheap to me. I much prefer the old analog look of my 2009 E class. I especially dislike the dashboard, I'd be much happier with an analog version here.
I just think it's bad design to use a rectangle screen to show 'analogue' round gauges. As for the analoge/digital discussion, it really depends on the implementation. I really like my 2002's analoge cluster, but not for being analoge, but being simple.
@@kaidanalenko9010 You are able to configure your instrument cluster. You may have a big map, a Tesla like car detection around the car, and a plain design.
Another great vid! Regardless of color you get reflections from the dash, even black. Its inevitable due to the slope of the "windscreen". Burmester is German😉
That clothes hook is not at the best spot: impossible to hook up a hanger. Integrated into the rear of the head rest or on top of the doors would have been better imo.
Thank you Mr. Lüning for the nice review. I am following you since a long time and I was very curious what You think of the Mercedes after owning so many Teslas. I was very surprised when you said the price of this car was similar with the plaid Model S. I have the impression now that you have a better value with the EQS and it’s a superior car over all. I am not sure it was a good idea from Tesla to raise prices so much lately. I am also a Cybertruck reservation holder and a little bit afraid of the price tag that it will have at the end. Liebe Grüsse aus Canada 😁
Oh no, not with the Plaid. I compared it with my Model S 100D. That became 30% cheaper over the time I had it. My 450+ has just RWD and is not comparable to a Plaid. We still have a Model Y and a Model 3. And the computers are far better than the MBUX. Everything mechanical is better in the Mercedes. But everything in electronics, IT and electric motors is better in the Teslas. Only the battery and the charging curve of the EQS is better than in the Mercedes.
I didnt get the gesture controls. Im not a fan, no fragrances either. My wife absolutely hates the perfumes. As you I really dislike piano black in the console but I think people keep it open anyway. In my car its wood.
Burmester is a Berlin based company surely using chinese components. As Sinn was a german company using chinese components. Like Apple is a US company using chinese components.
Is it a EQS-channel or a Tesla-channel? Switched off after 4min, hearing the word "Tesla" 20 times. BTW: the Hypersceer version hasn't an higher cockpit.
In this car you need to wear gloves, always, to prevent finger prints on all this piano lacquer. Be like the queen and wear them! Concerning the many buttons on the steering wheel etc. Shouldn't be a problem because normally nowadays everything SHOULD be possible to activate via voice commands. But sometimes I don't understand, why so important functions like max. speed limit and others can't be set via voice commands. That's already since ever my biggest wish, that I could say to the car (also at low class cars) "drive max. 84 now", e.g. and so the car would immediately do this and I don't need to click wildly on some speed limiter buttons. Why is the car industry so extremly slow and conservative in development so that the very obvious things take decades to establish? And if they finally come up with something, (which is already wanted for a long time), then they do it always first for 5 years in a crappy annoying way*, and just after 5 years or longer then finally consumer friendly. *like terrible beeping alarms from many only half-important security functions or for example now in the last 5 years endless sentences from the computer "ja, was kann ich für Sie tun?" etc. Aren't the producers of that not annoyed themselves???

Yes, that is a change in the classic style of Mercedes. But all Mercedes including the S Class have it as well.
Yes,, I m on board 😀
That's a nice Mercedes-Bonz

I am used to digital readouts since 2013. I never missed those dials.
I absolutely agree - for me analog dials are like analog watches - somehow timeless and not old-fashioned at all!

Yeah, I looked the Burmester up afterwards.
@@EQSelectric I agree that it sounds pretty darned good. Particularly if you feed it nice uncompressed digital files.
Oh, the combined seat- and wheelheating is really strange. In my EQC it is separated and that’s fine. I wonder why MB has changed the logic.
I haven't figured it out completely. Perhaps it is in there and I do not find it.

Disappointing to not see the hyperscreen in this. But maybe a blessing if something needs to be replaced.
You could get range or Hyperscreen. I decided in favor of range.

I got the fragrances, but will never (probably) fill it.

He was a Tesla-driver for years so of course he compares the EQS to Tesla

Because they just reach over to the drawer and pull out all existing features instead of re-engineering - much cheaper for them.
Ends up in evolution instead of revolution. You see similar traits already happening at Tesla. It's logical.
I hate piano lacquer. Looks cheap.
👍
And I'm still thinking: Here we see the nokia, while Tesla is the iPhone.
Ich habe das Auto auch mit diesem Piano schwarz Lack gekauft. Nach 20.000 km sieht es überhaupt nicht mehr schön aus. Ich ärgere mich sehr darüber.
