i own the 2023 EQE SUV 350+, recently took it on a road trip where it spent most of its time above 70mph on long stretches across 800+ miles. A/C set to 65 degrees and fan speed at 4 (not Eco), and overall vehicle set to Comfort, the car averaged 3 miles per kilowatt hour without breaking a sweat. It can definitely drive longer at 100% SoC than my bladder can.
65?? Are you a polar bear? Lol
@@TotallyJoel As someone who is basically a furnace: yeah pretty much.
@@TotallyJoel Fun fact…if he kept the temperature higher, his circulatory system would shunt more blood flow to the skin (for cooling), thereby reducing total peripheral resistance, which would reduce venous return to the heart, and result in lower cardiac stretch, and reduce the secretion of natriuretic peptides from the heart, which would reduce his production of urine, taking longer to fill his bladder, allowing him to drive longer before it filled up. But he’d also use less electricity on AC, allowing the car drive farther, so he might still need to stop before the car ran out of juice. There would be a system of equations to solve…
it was 90+ degrees outside for large portions of the drive 🫠
We took our 2023 EQE 350+ SUV from Los Angeles to Texas recently for the eclipse. Epic trip and she kept us safe and comfy through some crazy TX storms👍❤️. That long range was a life saver👍.
The shape of these cars is for aerodynamic reasons and it’s some thing more car company should be doing. Whether it’s combustion or electric aerodynamics plays a huge part and efficiency. The days of trucks and SUVs being square should be over.
I just walked by one of these in the parking lot and was curious about the range. What a timely video. :)
10:00 HVAC systems have been sufficiently capable for the last 10 years where you leave it in auto don't touch the vents and only adjust your temperature.
Air flow through the cabin is very carefully modeled and designed, especially from Mercedes. Leave it alone.
Exactly. They kill me with the "fan on lowest setting" stuff. Just set the temp you want, and let the car do the rest.
The climate controls only bother you guys cuz you’re constantly fiddling with it. I set it to auto and forget about it.
I don't think theres full trip stats in the centre but there is consumption in the EQ Menu
for everyday users, can you report miles done until1% reported battery as you did in this video?. all of us are not confident exploring battery buffers. Thankyou for all the work
Jordan becoming the Out Of Spec Frank from 30 Rock. Loving the cap collection!!!
Ryan’s phone was toasted. Lovely
It's not a bad car cheers Jordan
Love the intro (1st take) loool
Prefer physical hvac buttons (which I dont have) and manual vents(which I do have) in the MachE
climate control buttons i currently have both, physical controls and permanent on screen buttons (I hate the redundancy, yes) and I don't mind them being on screen I rarely change temperature during a drive, the vent controls however I want manual
agreed. My sister always changes the passenger vent first thing when she gets in my car. Needing to go trough a menu first would drive her mad
how does this feel as a Mercedes, if you didn't know you were in an EV would it still feel like a Mercedes if that makes sense. Not exactly sure if im asking this the right way...
Hood opens. Latch is hidden under kick panel in driver footwell
Can't wait for you guys to test the electric G Class suv.
After 10,000 miles commuting in my model Y I figured I’d get used to the minimalistic interior but nope. I’d like my knobs, buttons and HUD back please. I’ll probably go back to BMW for my next EV.
i4 seems amazing if u can live with a sedan, space wise
This Video is very helpful, as we take delivery of our 350 4 Matic SUV in July 👍
awesome! My dad has the amg 53 version, it's not exactly built for range but still has plenty for everyday driving
You will LOVE it👍🏻
Nice car
He loves that Merc in a hateful way lol 😅
Why is that we have no inexpensive small EV in America? Like the BYD.
Cause no other govt is paying their car makers to make EVs except the Chinese. Which is why most countries with car industries are crying fowl!
For the climate control question, I don't really care. I don't see why this is such a big deal, Once you learn how your climate control feels you just set it and forget it, I don't adjust it much at all. I just want heated seats accessable, on screen is fine. Tesla does climate best IMHO. Not just the control but the single large vent, I hate having to point all these little vents everywhere in previous cars and just having the large vent cool/heat everything is so nice and easy. With heated seats on the configurable Taskbar at the bottom of the screen. They have the slide your finger for temperature and they have low, medium, and high auto intensity which us easy to adjust. It's crazy to me when I hear some, not you, who think climate stuff can be a deal breaker. Crazy.
Tesla removing the steering wheel nag on the next revision of FSD... no capacitive wheel needed! :) But I agree with you, if steering wheel nag is necessary, capacitive is the way to go.
There is an OTA update to specifically address iPhones overheating with the charging pad.
17:04 finally someone else is bothered with lack of data on all screen except classic
Physical HVAC and vent controls are preferable. Touch controls are annoying.
I like the bigger ones; they manage the design language better. Looking forward to Mercedes abandoning EQS for regular designs again.
I have a 2023 Tesla model Y dual motor long range 78 kWh battery, I took it on a long drive from LA to Las Vegas, drove 320 miles and had 3% remaining before I pulled over to charge. My lifetime average is 235 Wh/mi 6500 miles driven so far, most of my drivings are 80% freeway 20% local streets, I've done this more than once and I always get the same results, I have all the stats on my Tessie app to prove it.
Toaster oven. Lol. 😂
you can get even 24 km beyond 0%
but it turtles more and more which mean acceleration no longer above 50 km/h
Pretty much the same behaviour as in the VW e-GOLF
Woah that is a lot of buttons on the steering wheel 😐
Was it the quietest EV you’ve driven?
i drove both the EQE as a SUV and Sedan and the Sedan is noticable quieter because it is way more aerodynamic.
21:48 this is needed BADLY @MercedesBenz
Capacitive steering wheel monitoring might require an additional sensor, which would be a cost adder, which would be a no-go for Tesla. Steering torque is detectable for free (software), so that’s the way Tesla does it, annoying or not.
Tesla assumes customers won’t pay for well implemented features.
And yet assumes they will pay for FSD...
The beginning 😆😆😆
I don't care how occasional that lane change bug is and the fact that you have time to catch it. That is downright dangerous and I would never use driving assist on that thing for that reason. My Hummer EV hasn't done that yet. If it ever does, I'm done with Super Cruise.
I’ve been driving my Model Y for over 2 years and have come to appreciate the fact that aside from glancing at the speed now and then, I am not distracted by buttons, a light show of redundant options, an RPM gauge, etc,, etc. I can adjust the sound volume through the steering wheel as well as engage the cruise and just don’t need (or want) 2 to 3 different ways to do the same thing. 99% of everything is usually “adjust once and forget about it”. Typical interiors seem very cluttered and a nod to how car interiors have been designed for decades…a more is better attitude. Nice that people have an option but for me, it just all appears too “busy”.
Honestly, Mercedes aero wheels look so bleh it would be worth the loss of range, this is plenty.
Kinda obvious what u think about car during a review ya get into local forecast an Chargin station
Sure wish German protestor’s would help Mercedes w/ technology functionality development insted of protesting th one man 👨 n th world improving it
@@sparkysho-ze7nm Mercedes will introduce its 800V mid-size cars in 2025/2026, starting with the CLA Coupé in early/mid 2025. It has much better tech and specs than the model 3 and also surpasses the Hyundai Ioniq 6 to become the most efficient EV with the most range, estimated 392 miles EPA, of its class. The electric C-Class follows in 2026 and should offer over 452 miles EPA range (my conservative estimate) with a 100kWh net total battery capacity. Crazy range for a mid-size sedan. The Model S has 402 miles EPA with 100kWh (95kwh net) total battery capacity, the Model 3 LR with the most efficient 18inch wheels has 342 miles of range... So you will always get 50 miles more range + 800V architecture + HUD in the Mercedes EVs.
Hello Jordan
think range is based on 55 mph,,, going 70 will lower the range
Love the fake poptart review 😂
I love digital vent controls... you're wrong
282 miles range only if you are willing to risk getting stranded by pushing on until turtle mode activates. Range tests should stop at 5-10% SOC when most people feel like stopping to recharge.
just take 5 - 10% off the result then?
I love the Tesla vents because it can come through the middle of the steering wheel. I always get annoyed with 2 side vents because my arms get cold, but my body stays hot.
Everyone: Let’s make EVs more efficient
Mercedes: Okay here’s a blob
In what way is it inefficient as an SUV?
@@eds4743 I’m not saying that it’s inefficient
I’m saying that they sacrificed aesthetics to such a degree in lowering the drag coefficient that the car looks ugly
Tesla is not leading the charge as they allow no Android Auto or CarPlay.. That's a deal breaker
Tesla's UI is excellent, you don't need CarPlay or AA. Plus Tesla continually sends over the air updates , so it keeps getting better and better.
Who da hell is gm FORD TOYOTA???
@@blackvr4tt well if you want CarPlay or AA - you are out of luck with Tesla. That´s the point. Also OTA is now done by everybody - biggest argument for Tesla was always the Super Charger Network
@@blackvr4tt You mean the updates that derate your battery whenever Elon has a tizzy fit. ;) Android auto/Car play is far more than just maps.
@@blackvr4tt This is a big part of the reason I didn't pick a Tesla for my First EV.. The whole "we know better" concept. You can't even turn off 1 pedal driving anymore, you used to be able to, but then they removed the option for no good reason other than "we know better".. Not everyone is comfortable approaching a cross walk with their foot still on the gas pedal modulating it up.
I agree it is ugly. I also hate the interior. I also would hate to own a car that I can't open the hood. Guess your average MB owner just doesn't care. I also dont care about expensive EVs anymore. Except perhaps the R1T.
No excuse for having no taste....😬
Rivian sucks too
Pop tart 😂
Hate to be negative, but that interior has to be the ugliest interior I've ever seen any any vehicle ever. I can't even find anything I like about it.
Ugly and predictably over priced
