Pricing of these seems excessive for what it is. The EQE seems even worse however, a mid spec one in the UK with sub 300bhp is £85,000 which is more than a decent spec Taycan utter madness!
I've driven the Taycan. It's terriffic! But for me in California, the 225mile real world range makes it a non starter as a choice. High voltage charging stations are scarce here (when they work) Really Tesla is the only choice here if you actually like going someplace in your GT. I'm afraid it's going to remain this way for sometime.

Just bought the entry level 450+ amg line without the hyperscreen. All i can say is i have 0 regrets. Ultinately people need to understand that buying a car is so subjective. To be honest i do not give a darn abt speed and honestly i felt that even with the single motor its faster den a regular s class as i own the s320 as well. My purpose was a confortable luxury family car and this beast did more than that imo. Seats were so comfortable and futuristic as i got the cream color. Changed my wheels to the 21 inch ones and grille to the eqs 53 grille which made it look sportier. Ride was so smooth comfortable and honestly i am not a v8 engine kinda guy either. And tbh being one of the first few to drive it in my country i get head turns everywhere i go. The build quality on my car was near perfection unlike the tesla which has loose ends everywhere and taycan which very oftenly breaks down the latter especially. So ultimately its perspective =) the porshe taycan / etron gts / tesla / bmw were all in my cards when i test drive to find a new ev and honestly none of them could compare to the comfort and experience the eqs could give. Well maybe the bmw ix could but even so the price is way pricier and seats still are not as comfy. Well if you are a family guy or someone who prefers comfort and luxury over speed this wins any sport brands hands down. U can fit 3 strollers in the boot =). A surf board if you want as well. But if you are a taycan kind of guy well obviously look elsewhere =)
Hey guys, love your videos. I am a Taycan owner. I have to say that the Taycan has the same "issue" with the variable brake pedal during regen. However, it is much less noticeable because Taycans have no regen paddles. But when using the adaptive cruise control or regen button, it is definitely there. So you are calling out a trend in German EVs broadly - not just the EQS.
Guys the brakes you describe are how the car is. We got an EQS 580 at my Porsche dealer and that was the stand out “What were they thinking” aspect. It wasn’t from track testing. That’s how they are. It’s insane.
Definitely not an S-class in any stretch of the imagination, in my mind at least. The styling lacks all the grace of the S-class. Why not just make an electric S-class? Seems more sensible, less R&D, no need to include yet ANOTHER model in the portfolio (as if Mercedes needs any more models). That said, it’s Infinitely better than a Tesla. This car will actually feel like you spent $100,000.
Because an S class cannot fit enough batteries to give it more than a 50 mile range. Futhermore, its drag coefficient, which happens to be a huge factor in highway speed range efficiency, is like a brick in comparison.
“Efficiency”… it’s an almost 6000lbs pig, how about working on that first. Come on, you guys have to come up with a better one than that. No one interested in an S-class will cross-shop with this thing. Yet another model added to the ever growing portfolio of Mercedes models that don’t sell well. Not that I like it, but BMW successfully created a fully electric 7 series. Don’t tell me Mercedes could not do the same with the S-class.
Rear Steering clarification: In the US, the car was origionally supposed to come with 4.5 degree standard and 10 degree optinal, and some of the first thousand or so pilot build cars only have the 4.5 degree (some seem to not have any at all) but they decided 10 degree would be standard, along with ventiullated seats, before regualar production started but after some of those early builds had already been built. So yeah, a little odd. If your vin ends 2000 or later, you almost certainly have 10 degree, but a decent chunk of the less then 2000, especially less then 1000 vins have 4.5 degree, and a few of them even have a $1300 credit for said missing standard.
@@Snoetzel87 Many had it, but I've seen probably a dozen with vins up to 1500 that have on the build sheet 4.5 degree rear steering and at least two with code D9C missing standard rear axel steering
Although Apple Carplsy does all that and more and you don’t type your destination in, you apeak it. All the manufacturers bundle their mediocre, soon to be dated Navi with things you actually want forcing you to get something that , in my case, I never use. Infuriating.
I thought the braking was fine (and my dailies are ‘19 G550 and AMG GTC). But, I didn’t change the regen. This is a car for my Dad and he hates regen. He wants the same brake feel as he’s been used to, and that’s what the EQS provided. I am glad that regen is not mandatory.
"where are these trucks going?" "The aquaduct." "The Aquaduct? Why are these trucks going to a horse racing track?" "Not that Aquaduct! THIS aquaduct!"
21:48 Those touch screens are so sluggish. Even my Galaxy S4 from about 10 years ago was so much more responsive than the flagship mercedes from 2022. How is this acceptable?
When the car is in "Eco" mode, the controls become sluggish due in part to the battery saving code most of the onboard systems are running. Once back in normal operating modes, the response times of the touch screens are actually quite impressive.
@@coreygolphenee9633 A smartphone is exposed to much more abuse than a screen installed into the dashboard, as it's being pulled out of the pocket 100 times a day, dropped and so on. Also, car manufacturers could make screens as sturdy as they like, because unlike a phone, those screens don't need to be either slim or lightweight. Lastly, why would any of this even be relevant with regards to the performance and responsiveness of the system? Again, it's completely unacceptable that these screens are so sluggish.
Just wondering if we will care as much about 0-60 as every EV/SUV grocery-getter to come does it in 5 seconds? Do you currently enter into launch mode to get the drop on the ‘91 Civic (with Pep Boys wing) in the other lane? EV’s raise all kinds of unexpected questions.
I think the EQS SUV is going to be the one to buy at this price point. The whole reason to buy an S-class over an E-class is the rear seat. The SUV fixes that problem.
Interesting comment on the driver warning; could it be your seating position? From everything I was taught you look far away from the steering wheel and somewhat low. I believe you're supposed to sit close enough to be able to rest your wrist on the top of the steering wheel at a light stretch, and adjust height until your eyeline is around the mid point of the windscreen. I'm sure you'll say you're comfortable as you are, but you'll get used to however you sit over time...
Lucid manages a 280 liter frunk right on top a 600 hp front motor in a 25 cm shorter car, Merc gives you none even in a RWD car. And NOT EVER a heat pump, so winter range is the worst relative to EPA/WLTP of any brand. Sadly the Lucid Air somehow has to have a silly letterbox sedan boot. Which customer ever wants that over a lift gate or estate boot? And no wagon version for ANY of the EVs out there of course.
Interesting. I’ve a EQC400 for a couple of months and I too felt the brakes were too weak. However regen braking was really strong, and it did go to D double minus not just single minus.
It’s just so weird seeing you two do a road test with no exhaust note, or any shifting, absolutely no driving engagement with a electrical Car, I’m sorry you Tree Huggers, but nothing can replace the sweet sound of a internal conversion engine. The Fiesta Flash. 🤙🏼🍺🍺🍺
Oh man. That steering wheel position issue is an killer. I’m only 5’10” and yet the steering wheel blocks the gauges in almost every car I drive. I live with it, but at least they don’t bitch at me every 20 minutes for obscuring the tech. Is the idea with the brake pedal that the first bit of travel is the regen, whether or not you have 1 pedal turned on? So strange.

EQS580 has the speed if you need it, the ride comfort & quiet interior with many standard features is superior to many other brands I have demoed. Price, not in my budget….CPO Mercedes most definitely is! Braking has not been an issue in any mode from no regenerative to strong to all versions of regenerative. Hey Mercedes has been exceptional & their beta AI IS REALLY A HOOT. Just another view point, but realize that like most reviewers, your job is to (in a short use case) to describe issues before longer use.
I wonder why so many people lean so far back while driving, it's why they cant see all they want of the display and you see less of the road, more of the sky, and ultimately driving with almost stretched arms gives less control. Fail!
Johnny Smith in the UK has been saying the same about the brakes - he said he almost had a crash because he went deep into the brakes and they still did very little.
Lol I love the part “on the other hand a positive is there is great storage”. Important, but yikes seems like they really missed the mark. Start to sound more and more like a really expensive minivan as the review went on.
The upcoming BMW i7 is going to embarrass this car. Seems like MB missed the mark on this one, which I really wouldn't have expected them to do, especially in this segment.
Just took the first long weekend trip in my Lucid Air. I've had the car for about 2 weeks and still can't stop looking at it. The EQS interior looks like they were trying too hard and the Tesla leaves me cold. If I didn't get the Lucid I would have gone for the Taycan but having put some miles on it now I am so glad to be driving the Lucid, even with all the potential downsides of a startup. It is a driver's car.
Um, were you wearing those shades every time you were getting the warning? On a separate note, love how much fun you had together on this one. Hate the looks of the car, by the way.
I would have liked to see them getting into and out of this car when they changed places. One is 5'10" and the other 6'3". I am 6'1" and I was unable to get into the car without moving my head around. Maybe entering head first is the way to go. I think if you are under 5"6" you would have no issues. Anybody taller than that will have an issue.
The issue is these companies are hiring people to design their cars who are not car people. And then the head designers are wearing green and purple suits. All I’m trying to say here is that these companies need to start hiring people who are car enthusiast. who have a background in design and engineering to design their cars ..
This is the only car in history that has given me legitimate nightmares. That dash made me feel like i was being sucked into a black hole and driving off a cliff at the same time.
I don't like how all the new EVs are basically either wedged-shaped sedans, or super-compramised coupe-suvs with a terribly low rear headroom. I know we're getting trucks now, but how about a full-size SUV or or true 2-door sports car? Everyone's copying each other with their "flagship" ev's The Mustang Mach E had the opportunity to actually look like a mustang, (even if they made it a 4-door) but no, it really looks like a Tesla Model 3 with the mustang logo & 3-bar tail lights.
Feels like a Beta product. Bad driver attention placement, suspension, and why move the brake pedal? Quite the bummer. Is the heads up display at least readable with polarized sunglasses?
Nothing has gone wrong. Mercedes-Benz has sacrificed a bit of room for aerodynamics. But then went ahead and not included a heat pipe. Like wtf. It's not like Germany is a warm place.
I feel like that positioning of the driver monitoring camera is going to end up in a LOT of used EQS' for sale. There is no reason it cant just be on the A pillar.

The Mustang Mach E had the opportunity to actually look like a mustang, (even if they made it a 4-door) but no, it really looks like a Tesla Model 3 with the mustang logo & 3-bar tail lights.
Keep wondering which customer will use his EQS as a canyon carver? Is that relevant?
Looks like a last Gen camery
Love Zach but his German accent makes him sound like Klaus Schwab 🤦🏾♂️😂
Feels like a Beta product. Bad driver attention placement, suspension, and why move the brake pedal? Quite the bummer. Is the heads up display at least readable with polarized sunglasses?
Zack is Toto Wolff
Way it's looks tall ?
I cannot get over the fact that it looks like a 2003 Honda Civic.
Nothing has gone wrong. Mercedes-Benz has sacrificed a bit of room for aerodynamics.
But then went ahead and not included a heat pipe. Like wtf. It's not like Germany is a warm place.
That’s a huge miss there, way more affordable EVs have a heat pump
It will come in the facelift
Volkswagen CC big brother???
Last place for Mercedes from the sounds of it.
NOOOO MICHAEL THAT IS SO NOT RIIIIGHT
I’m sure this car will have insane Mercedes issues like the gas powered ones do
Electrical issues are only going to be worse.
When 3.7 seconds to 60 isn't seen as fast anymore :/
I feel like that positioning of the driver monitoring camera is going to end up in a LOT of used EQS' for sale. There is no reason it cant just be on the A pillar.
