      Everyone's tryna be lazy like Tesla, and just plonks a pano without a shade in their cars, which is silly and even less practical for EVs. A few others in both their EVs & ICE, give you a pano with a shade, but the pano can't be opened, just the shade. Mercedes just does the standard logical thing. And many of their panos open pretty wide too.
      Electrochromic Roofs are best intended for cars like sporty cars and up that just can't fit a classic sunshade, which is part of why Mercedes discontinued it after the W222 as it's redundancy with the sunshade made no sense considering it's cost. Main thing is, *if you don't have a sunshade, have an electrochromic roof.* If you can't be bothered to add that, then stick to the classic sunshade. There's no reason outside "style" and dubious cost-cutting, that's led us to this era of full glass panos without electrochromism instead of just sticking to a classic sunshade design.

    Nerd tip, Mercedes is using the "+" sign in the model name to indicate the range maximizing model variant within the lineup. Not sure if they do so in the US, but at least in Europe, Mercedes is selling FWD/RWD and AWD variants, so the single motor variant with the big battery is mostly getting the "+". It seem they're getting rid of the EQ labels, maybe the "+" is also being dropped with the next gen BEVs. Anyway, great result for the EQS!

    I have the EQS 580, just took a road trip with my wife to visit our grandson and daughter of course from Phoenix to Charlotte North Carolina. Mileage was not as good as the 450, but then again I was averaging 80 mph and running full AC. The 580 comfortably gave me about 200 miles with 50 to 80 miles left. I took it from 100% charge to about 20 or 25%. I might say that the trip cost $0.00 in charging as Mercedes has on top of the 2 years free (30 minute) charging, between May and October 2023 they are allowing free charging unlimited. As such charging from 20% to 90% or 100% took about 40 minutes on average but it was free. The trip was fabulous as we traveled through 10 states. The 580 was smooth and very comfortable, set it on cruise and it drives itself, there is a 30 second alert that beeps until you put your hands back on the steering wheel but it still offer relief from driving long distances. Love the 580!❤😊

I hope that you enjoy yours as much as I have mine. As I trade it in next year, my wife already said, make it another 580.

If purchased, beware that you'll own the car for its lifetime with no new features, while seeing new software-only features appear on newer, cheaper models or even new model years of the exact same vehicle (stuff that could have been delivered to you).
    Note, I'm still happy with the EV itself, but terribly unhappy with the way Mercedes is just ignoring updateability in such expensive, vehicles that were advertised as updateable. So disappointing.

    Kyle, food for thought. You actually went 385 miles. The speedo is off by .0285 percent. Ex) speedo show 68 when going 70 mph. The odometer is calculating at 68 mph vs 70 mph. So for each 70 miles you go you are showing 68 miles. 375 x 1.0285= 385 :-)

    • @doggytreats1122
      @doggytreats1122 Год назад +1

      The speedo shows speed not distance. So, the velocity travelled does not infer anything about distance. However, each tire has a circumference and that multiplied by pi gives a distance per each tire rotation. Tires that are over or undersized compared to that expected by the vehicle will provide an inaccurate distance. So unless the actual circumference is known, the distance calculated will always be incorrect if not a standard manufacturers size (unless it is possible to adjust that within the car's system settings). I've never seen this on my ID4 menu but I remain on the standard 19" wheels and standard rubber. So Kyle, that's food for thought too.

      @@robbystewart8088 Good that you agree that tire rotation needs to be known and therefore tire circumference matters. That info goes to the odometer to show distance. Meanwhile, the rate at which the tires turn e.g. so many revolutions per second is sent to the speedometer and that shows speed. Odometer (diistance) = Speedometer (velocity) x length of time driven. So now if you imagine that size of the tire was like a hot wheels car, the speed reading at '70'' (tires turning wildly) would actually be a walking pace and the distance would be reported as enormous for just driving around one block.

    BTW I visited BMW Welt in Munich today. The BMW M50 IX looked good. The electric 7 series is even more horrible in person than on screen, a true eyesore. It is also enormous, it makes the EQS seem "compact". It would be no surprise that the upcoming Rolls electric, will simply be a rebadged, utterly costumizable version of it.

      After 70 the range will suffer significantly. At 80 its probably close or below its EPA rating. Thats my expirence with the EQS. Maybe, that is the secret sauce for the Germans beating the EPA so consistently their EPA estimates use an 80mph (130 km) highway loop which also happens to be the top legal speed in most EU countries.🤔

    It usually sells for 20-23% discount off MSRP. So, it's a $82000 car give or take. If you are willing to buy 2 year used , it could be yours for $50-52K. At that price point, it becomes price competitive with a new Model Y. And don't forget that the battery warranty is 10 years 155K miles, as compared to 8 years 100K miles for Model Y.

    This range test is on point. Took a road trip a week ago in sizzling Arizona summer with temperatures hovering above 117F from Phoenix to Las Vegas and boy oh boy this vehicle is a range monster. Started with 95% SOC driving between 70 to 80 mph reached destination with 11% SOC. Glad I traded in Model X for 2023 EQS SUV 450+. Model X needed to be supercharged twice to make the same trip one way. As the public fast charging gets more reliable German vehicles will become more competitive to Tesla.
