Is there something better than watching Bjorn's videos?
Yes, watching Bjorn's videos while eating during a free fastcharge 😂
The EQS is growing on me every day Björn drives it - what a great entertaining review - now I see myself wanting one...what really grabs me is your enthusiasm about cars - coming across with the Mercedes more then any other model. Still after doing it for years now working very hard for your business.
I hope EQE comes as wagon. They will likely put same big battery to it.
@@MrRaitzi as far as i know, they will not. 90 KWH netto.
yes Bjron, we need that cold weather diagnostics for EV, here in Canada it is much appreciated!
Agreed. These are so insightful for a Canadian driver/buyer
Your videos are a big part of my morning routine. You save me from morning TV. Takk!
"Wait....the car is black. Not silver....
...NEIN, NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!!!!!"
hahahahaha.... Love it Bjørn!
Thanks for explain about this "nine nine nine nine". He shout that when he drove 999.9 km in his 1000 km challenge.
Definitely worth these tests! Hello from Alaska - I mean Canada!
Bjørn is my GoTo Guru when it comes to EV's. Can't wait until you put the BMW i4 through the paces.
I feel like one has to use a Mercedes-like class car for a while to start truly appreciating it. Some things seem to be useless until you have them, you get used to having them and you get to understand their value.
It's the real luxury
This test is, for me, more interesting than the polar circle.
Really fancying one of these to replace my iPace . Wa thinking Cross Turismo, but I think I am old enough for this now!
I really enjoy the Geilo test, along with all your other different tests and road trips! Thank you so much ! 🤩
Thank you for these high-quality EV test videos! I think you are the best.
He's in love with this big Merc. Since Mercedes is going to be only electrical, maybe we will see MercedesBjørn in the future :) Great test and great car.
I like the new Geilo Winter test, because I live in Tyrol and the winter here is also cold.
Thanks Bjorn! Very useful information for us Canucks! Your beef in the Pho looks a lot thicker than what we usually have here.
This new Geilo test is great. Checking all those winter capabilities is really interesting and amusing. Keep on doing it this way!!
Also, it is important to have the OBD dongle and the appropriate mobile app connected when possible and show the more detailed information from the car itself.
Indeed very useful information for buyers. There are aspects and functions which are not given by those selling EQS or other EV. Thus your real life presentations are important. I knew nothing about EQS but I ordered immy .....not yet delivered... only because by simply looking at it I realized this is a jump to completely new approach leaving the past. It is also a signal that MB is given to EV market that comfort, quality and luxury cannot be ignored and that accelleration is not the only feature EV must have. I am glad that you outlined such things. Wish you succes , well done.
Great looking car... The driver lane assist distronic extended restart in stop and go traffic (auto pilot) is better than Tesla in some ways... Very impressed so far. Yes, I own one of these.... and traded my Model 3 performance for it... And it even came with a steering wheel!
@@jdmoney1000 Enjoy the EQS drive, I hope I'll receive my EQS this month.
Such a nice video Björn!
i like the new geilo test. It's a nice test to show the winter usability.
Yes we want more winter tests like this one, Stéphane from Alaska oupss…. Canada !
Yes please! Make a Geilo video with Ioniq 5 and wintermode test and coldgate.
Love your videos Bjorn. I watched when I first got a model S in 2015 and thet were so helpful. I now have a Taycan Turbo S after owning 2 model S's and after 18 months I really don't like it. I've ordered an EQS and I'm really excited. I looked at the Lucid Air, but I am in England and there is no right hand drive version yet and no date planned. Also no service structure. They are planning to open a showroom in Munich in March and that's it. Also seeing a lot of blogs where buyers are having problems. Mercedes seems the best option and a fantastic car. Who doesn't love a car that has power nap button. Thanks again. The videos were so helpful when I was an early adopter of electric cards and they are really entertaining as well. Simon
Best music on a TB video yet
I find very much interesting and informative regarding EV in the winter months.
Hey Bjørn, welcome to the Mercedes EQ fan club ;-)
Thanks Bjorn.
Yes more Geilo test!
... very funny narrator(your voice your joke) and a great/useful FLIR .. Kudos
Like it please more of them, it shows some things you normaly dont think about
Bjorn: fine assessment and commentary! I agree with you too, really like this EQS but it's very premium priced...
very good job! thank u for your effort
I like the fact you say: The camera is a little bit schmutzig 😂😂😂✌🏼
Top test Björn ,i like this🙏🙏👍👍
Nice video Bjorn
Really interesting test!!
I like the Geilo test, as I live in the innland of Norway and experience these colds. The car I am on the list for is the Ford F150 Lightning, I really hope thatone has proper battery preheating. If the F150 Lightning does not come to Norway I will get the Cybertruck. Anyhow. Let’s get to 50K views!
Great content as always! I olso need to do my new Mach e Rwd LR test Bergen-Geilo.. :DD so far only been driving around the city..
I found that if you use the Eq menu and select a charger there you can also get it to preheat the battery. But it just shows the closest chargers so you have to scroll for ages.
Heating the Steering Wheel is in the "COMFORT" "SEAT" Chapter 🙂👍
Yes, I like the focus on winter ❄❄ capabilities. It gives me an indication for my EQC although I will rarely need it here in Belgium
? It's not getting cold in Belgium?
@@alfonsjones5798 The average number of days that temp remains below zero is less than 10 per year and reducing over the years. Compared to Norway it’s not cold in Belgium www.frankdeboosere.be/klimaatukkel/ijsdagen.php
@@alfonsjones5798 yes it does… but not -20. If we go to -10 the country is in distress… Every winter we hit -10 for some nights… Then a lot of people are stuck with dead batteries and when there is a bit of snow people lost their ability to drive…
great test
Like the winter focus of the test. One more thing I would like to see is short winter drives, how bad is the consumption if you just hop in and drive 10km in the city. Could also test preheating performance, such as consumption and time to defrost the car.
I watch all your content, Bjørn. Just got my first Tesla, because of you :) Great stuff, keep up the good work!
Hi @björn Thanks for the video! Too bad you haven't tried Auto Parking in that parking lot. :)
Your the best!!
Sounds like Mercedes hit this one out of the park. I remember when Tesla had a minor partnership with Mercedes. The stalks and buttons in the p85 are Mercedes’. I think this is how the model S should be. I appreciate some of the minimal look in teslas but they need a flagship car. You don’t expect the Y to be super luxury but I do for the S
Have daily driven a P85 for four years now, 230k km on the clock and still running smoothly. The stalks and window buttons from Mercedes have definitely stood the test of time. Lovely air suspension (rumoured to be from Merc too!) as well
When they would have so many options they would not be able to deliver in a couple of weeks. At Mercedes it takes too long for a new car. When I wanted to order mine I had to wait up till 10 months… Ordered a model X that was there in just a bit over a month…
@@roycoppieters2698 not really a matter of options… VW in general really struggle with lead times now, Merc have about 50% shorter delivery time for most models (except electric ones).
@@roycoppieters2698 Of course it takes more time to put together all thosr custom options and only some brands can do real custom orders. Nowadays they all have delivery problems, the waiting list is long for any brand, ICE or EV.
Geilo test, yes!
geat 3d view !!!! good for the rims
Bjørn, could you please make a video about charging stations and the sizes they are in Norway and North Europe, please?
I want to send it to the useless politicians here in Canada
Thank you
You should consider bringing skies to Geilo. Would higlight which cars have skiopening and roof rack capabilities.
Ok Brother,
Now I am seriously hungry! Ha-ha
Cheers,
Eric
Keep them coming Bjorn; another good one. That EQS looks like a real winner! Can you tell me which FLIR camera you have for your iPhone please?
I don't use iPhone. But that's Flir One.
Hey Björn, when I went to Geilo at the end of October 2016, (Tesla S85D from Germany) the Navigation led me from Oslo (previous destination) to the SuC in Drammen (I belive?) and from there via Rödberg and Dagali to Geilo (not Gol, was my mistake, should have entered Gol as destination not Oslo)
I thought I never would get to Geilo and almost missed the meeting. They started to remove the food from the Buffet, but one of the Cooks got me a huge plate of food from the galley.
The Route via Dagali would be a "Reality-Winter-Ride" to do.
Next, I could not charge at the Hotel with my MCU because of the different Norwegian electricity-wiring. But then the Hotel sendt me to another Resort they were owing, where they had DeC`s.
Like your videos !!
Next time you should check what Google suggests. I never blindly trust car navigation regardless of brand.
@@bjornnyland Exactly, lesson learned, never happened again.
You should take those Korean wagons to there extreme limits of cold, I'm in canada so I get the extremes here for my model s...be safe doing it of course.
00:45 - Not Sprinklerwasser but Scheibenwischwasser 😌👌
Hi Bjorn, Go with EV6 please
Hi Björk, can you please give your opinion about the eqs auto pilot
I would be very interested in seeing a Geilo test with one of the Korean cars. Preferably the Ioniq 5 since I have one myself 😉
Yes, it will be interesting! There is info that IONIQ 5 will get battery pre heating via software update somewhere in first half of 2022. A test before and after software update can be interesting too.
Nice ❤️👍
Could you describe to me once again dear Björn what you meant with preconditioning the battery for the charger after the next and not for the charger where you want to go? I didn't understand what you wanted to say. Because if I want to go to a charger why doesn't the car preheat battery for this charger? So what was the "trick" for not coldgating in your eyes? And merry Christmas!
He said that if you put a charger as destination the car will not precondition the battery for it. The car preconditions the battery only when it sees that your destination is to far for the available battery and will automatically choose a charging point on the way for you, only in that situation the car preconditions the battery.( witch sounds like a dumb way Mercedes)
How the car estimates the arrival SOC? Is it taking into consideration the speed limits? SOC is directly dependent on the speed you have (plus other factors like temperature, road conditions). How do you do your estimates?
8:37 ABC = Always Bang Choes.
วิดีโอที่ดี, ขอบคุณ.
Wonder how much of these findings are transferable to running Eqc? Setting longer journey, to get pre battery heating etc.
Regarding the "keep climate on" for 30 mins. ID.4/Enyaq/BMW i3 asks you when you open driver door if you want to keep it on and then you can activate it. Missing this in IONIQ 5/EV6!
This feature should be standard in all modern EVs.
There is a switch on the left side of the steering column to enable/disable the steering wheel heater AFAIK.
In EQS or in other generic Mercedes? Last time someone gave me advice about Audi e-tron GT, they were referring to generic Audi and the switch was not there in e-tron GT.
when living in Oslo the Ionity deal from audi is useless since nearest ionioty charger is at Dal?
im using CircleK mostly
Interesting on how rapidly the electricity cost can change during the day. What is your typical residential electricity cost at night? We're lucky here in Washington state. It's 8 cents/kwhr through our rural electric cooperative.
As nice as the EQS is, can we have more of the Taycan on these types of trip?
Sehr geil, I mean Geilo
Björn I think you have to buy it. Never heard you being that enthused about a car ;)
I agree. Bjorn loves this car and it has minor faults like no light or front cam washer but it is amazing and beautiful. I believe it is the first car that Bjorn will truly regret returning
Way more lux EVs coming. This is seriously the only lux EV in the market today. From ICE, the 7 series rides much better than the S series :) Anyone considering a lux EV should wait until the other OEMS are out with their own lux EV. In ICE this car competes with 7 series and A8. Lexus LS is also in this segment.
@@jmz388 agree, but i keep saying the 450+ is a better choice, because it has way more range.
@@frankblok1743 not in Norway. Awd is not needed for 99% of driving but it makes driving so much easier in the winter. From stops, roundabouts, getting out of parking spots, driving up steep driveways and small roads etc etc etc .
@@topgunm This is the first time I've ever heard anyone mention that the 7 series has superior ride quality to the S Class. After testing driving them both myself, I definitely have to disagree.
How about a max charging speed indicator..
does the EQ cars have obd port
Ioniq5/EV6 to Geilo? yes please.
I just read your "about" section. What was your office number job?
The new geilo express? Or will e-tron still remain on the throne?
Your phone screen went to sleep, flir didn't die.
Incorrect. The Flir was at low battery.
@@bjornnyland last time at CircleK, you can clearly see how the phone screen dims for 1s and the enters sleep. I own the camera and it doesn't shut down just like that.
It does. The battery was low. I have to charge it up. Trust me. On the later shots when the Flir was charged, it didn't die.
@@bjornnyland ohh, i see now, sorry
Bjorn, I am in Canada snd I should be receiving a new model y within a few weeks. I would love see more winter driving reviews .
Dave, where in Canada are you?
What do you think of the charging, non-Tesla, stations are?
@@tootallno non tesla stations are shit, expect for charge point. The problems with charge point is they max out at 50kw. Superchargers are plentiful in Ontario, so Tesla is really the only option if you want to drive anywhere. Even going to Barrie from Toronto and back is difficult especially in winter when range suffers. Hopefully this changes but for long distance, tesla the only real option.
@@tootallno I am in Canada too, PlugShare web and app showing you what kind station and adaptors they have.
@@sunfarm1963 he he he 90% of the new charger installed in BC is 6.6 Kw.
What do you think would make people purchase an electric vehicle instead of an ICE?
The speed you can fill it up.
is it some iQ in the eQs ?
Is it possible to get rid of all the tasteless Dubai-blue interior lights? It makes it seem cheap.
Mercedes Benz is still the benchmark of the auto industry. 👍👍👍👍👍
Bjørn,
I so want that rear-wheel steering, too! What a sweet ride. Only one problem: the Model Y is wifes car and must stay inside the garage, and I only have room on driveway for a short car, maybe a Model 3. Ha-ha
Cheers
Eric
yes, i like that sh*t ( i mean, the new Geilo tests) :)
Bjørn, which car do you prefer (leaving the price aside) EQS 580 or Tesla Model S ? Of course taking in consideration that soon Tesla will open the supercharger network for everyone and then it will not be a unique selling point for Tesla. Thanks
They ain't opening it. It's a PR stunt from Tesla. They have said they will open for everyone for years. Latest earnings call Elon said he will not open for all EVs before the SC-network grows at a faster rate than their car production. That's not happening annnnytime soon. Tesla needs to keep this for them self, if not, a lot of people will choose another EV than Tesla, myself included. I hope they open, but it's not gonna happen for yeeeears, if ever.
Björn will you ever start uploading in 4K?
Later in the future.
That will require lasers to keep the windscreen clean :D
Once they are in Europe in Q2 2022.
Fat e-tron has the same 360 avaialble below 30km/h. Overall, cool car
New camera? Lokks way better!!!
No, the camera is 2 years old.
can't find the steering wheel heating switch. that's funny
4:13 what are those icons at the top of the screen? They look like 2 sets of eyes and eyebrows. They were flashing like crazy after the camping.
IR + camera watching your face
@@bjornnyland OK thanks. What do they do when you eat pizza in the car? Open the door and tell you and your schmutz to get out? 🤣
You should blur the sat nav at the beginning, so you don't show where you live.
I have shown my address since 2013. Not a problem.
Yooo broo. Are you going to to the dacia Spring?
Not available in Norway yet.
@@okkeharr why? Ur a part of Europe right?
I'm not sure if I dare to drive it. 1 out of 5 stars on Euro NCAP...
@@bjornnyland nooooo way bro haha. It can be my car in the near future so maybe a bjorn review could help me haha. Had a testdrive in one yesterday. Its a real poor mans tesla.
What was the name of the app called that shows nordpol prices ?
Tibber
@@bjornnyland Tak Bjørn 🙏🎅🏼
Is it not allowed to use the Tesla charger?
No
Hello! Thanks a lot for these detailed tests. How much cobalt is in the EQS battery?
10 percent
Losing 5% over night is massive. That's way too much. That's like ~6KWh. I hope it's just because of the extreme cold.
It's not lost. Just made unavailable until the battery heats up again.
It's the first EV that impressed me so much, but I still can't get over the fact they didn't put heat pump in it. They put so much effort into aerodynamics and so on, why lose energy by climate control? Does it have any other way to use energy from drivetrain for heating?
I saw a german youtuber asking mercedes about it. They simply said that the battery is so large, that the better efficiency is not needed. Maybe a bigger and warm battery also produces enough heat anyway that you can use for the passenger, but not sure about that.
The reasoning I got from Mercedes is that they have heat scavenging so heat pump is not needed. I'm not totally convinced. Just look at Tesla and octovalve. Teslas are highly efficient in winter.
Regards to Wifey and little Model 3
47k views… good enough evidence? Yes we like it even if not living in the viking lands 😜
Don't know why Mercedes decided to not put a heat pump in the EQS. Would be more efficient in terms of heating.
@@RogerM88 Why less reliable? The PTC element is still there and will work when it's too cold for the heat pump. But in cases where it's around 10 °C it's perfect to have a heat pump.
@@abraxastulammo9940 I don't think so, you can't hear it on the inside, especially when driving.
Jelo test in the Th!NK :-p
