My favorite part of the driving experience was adjusting the regenerative braking while decelerating. Added a lot of driving engagement which is tough to find in EV’s.
Mercedes are being conservative with their performance figures for this car, 0 - 60 can be achieved in under 3 seconds - I've done it myself - 2.8 to be exact.
Another bonus! Mercedes has also made a deal to convert their cars to use the NACS connector in the North American market!! Take that, VW/Porsche/Audi and BMW. Better jump in if you want to sell EV's the USA and Canada!
I'm sorry........ Way too many buttons and double controlling buttons makes no sense! Tesla still has a very simple and clean look. That steering wheel is horrendous!
I love Tesla's simplicity, too many buttons for not much-added functionality. Tesla is still number one in my opinion as an owner of both Mercedes GLE AMG and Tesla Y, Tesla y is the best of all 4 Tesla models
Well nobody is taking the AMG to the track - its too heavy and too plush for it - great review with a lot of fun, loved the little pull at the end 😂, thank you! The pricing for the "normal" EQE starts below 75kUSD
I am so past having 87 buttons on the steering wheel. Why does the drive mode need to be adjusted from there? In a sedan you are going to be changing drive modes all the time while driving?
Actually yes you do change them whilst driving, and the regen change with the paddles is surprisingly engaging. Changing either ina tesla is not easy or engaging.
It doesnt need the button, but along with the pointless fake sounds they are trying to give gas owners a sense of familiarity. Eventually both will go.
You can get two Model Y's for this price but the Mercedes was more fun to drive simply because of the power and drive modes. It's a great EV just costs a lot.
Not just the infotainment. Everything on that steering wheel feels so cumbersome, complicated. It's just too much, for a steering wheel. C'mon Mercedes.
Love the interior. Nobody does interiors better than Mercedes. AMG is a BS name for this. The naame AMG means hand made custom engines and all the AMG is in this car is upgraded software.
AMG is dead now anyways. Their engines are all now just Enhanced versions of the basic engines. There are no AMG specific engines like the M156 6.2L. The 4.0L V8 in the GLS580 is the same base assembly as the GLS63, sure the AMG has different pistons, maybe rods, maybe crank, but is that still providing as much value as an entire different engine assembly? No, in my opinion! Mercedes will milk the AMG brand as much as they can. You will still get different plastic bumpers, a different suspension, maybe some unique wheels, bigger brakes, they say the electric motors are AMG specific, but I don't know if anyone buys that or cares when it sounds and feels the same as a non-AMG. People who are AMG buyers will leave the brand, those who stay will happily pay 2x over the next model down for reduced features for a while. AMG will die completely eventually.
This is a time bomb. Mercedes reliability is real awful. This is a lease at best for 3 years. $1700 a month $1000 down only $62,000 to drive this for 3 years, It scary how badly engineered this car is. BTW no mechanic at MB can repair this car
First of all what you said is not fact and it seems like you purchased an MB before and got a lemon car so you are simply angry. I got the same car, MSRP 127k and I did 5k down and 1k/month 🥶 good luck getting a deal like me though. Reliability? Great for 3 years lease so shut up bro 😄
I’ve had one the exact same now for a few months. The car build quality and luxury feel is phenomenal, tech sublime it’s the best car I’ve driven and is my first EV. I personally do not like the Matt paint so I went graphite grey which is colour. 4 wheel steering is a joy when parking. Love it. My only criticism is the mbux system can be very laggy. Considering almost everything is through it you would just expect better.
You definitely don't understand the difference between luxury and utility. Just get the Plaid. It is a brick 🧱 that can go lightning fast. Quality? Zero. Technology? Yeah great. But still, you will NEVER feel the same when you drive a Porsche or Mercedes or Audi etc. Tesla is just a high tech super fast plstic
You seem to be quite inexperienced with electric cars. Additionally, the way you communicate seems a bit abrupt. My request for you is to adjust your tone to be more composed and friendly. Ps: When opening the car door, please slide your hand smoothly, as even the car doesn't appreciate harsh behaviour. (Just a lighthearted remark!)

I dont know why but you looking like Matt Watson from Carwow
🤣
So what. exactly. happened
"And today, we're going to have a draaag race"
Some say that Gjeebs and Matt Watson have never been seen together at the same time………
If you open the hood, there’s a Tesla Model Plaid Motor…….
With a shockingly high sticker price, one should expect nothing less than shockingly good.
100% agreed - but if you look around to the competitors - that's not always the case :)
Im not saying its cheap but I really don't find the price surprising a gas amg e class would be $100k and evs usually cost more so...
Another bonus! Mercedes has also made a deal to convert their cars to use the NACS connector in the North American market!! Take that, VW/Porsche/Audi and BMW. Better jump in if you want to sell EV's the USA and Canada!
The paint on that thing is sick
Just came across your channel man, i like your style of presenting, you got a new sub. Hello from N.E. Scotland.👍😎
Thank you!
You're killing me Gjeebs!! That accent on the onset 🤣
I'm sorry........ Way too many buttons and double controlling buttons makes no sense! Tesla still has a very simple and clean look.
That steering wheel is horrendous!
The steering wheel is horrendous. Then you comment about a Tesla, wow.😮
Correct, you are sorry.
I feel like Tesla is too simple, modern cars ev or not are getting rid of buttons and I personally hate it, I don't want an ipad on a car
Love your reviews. Does the Benz tell you which chargers are broken ahead of when you get there disappointed?
yes. the map tells you how many chargers are available and whether they are working or down for maintenance.
Love that you did this review on top of a building and there were obviously a lot of burnout tire tracks up there! Was that your fault 😂
I love Tesla's simplicity, too many buttons for not much-added functionality. Tesla is still number one in my opinion as an owner of both Mercedes GLE AMG and Tesla Y, Tesla y is the best of all 4 Tesla models
The germans have taken over when it comes to high-end EV. EQS, IX are better car than Model X. And more to come from Audi, Porche.
I think we need an English Gjeebs channel. Gjeeves? Just spitballin' here. Another great video!
Hilarious - your humor is getting funnier. Seems like the EQE has less cabin space than the M3?
Yes it does have less space which is crazy considering how long it is
BMW has i4. M3 is their ICE
Having got used to the button free interior that is my Tesla, all those buttons make my head hurt
that's a really weird way to say you can't tie your shoes
@@superset5 that's a really weird comment in general.
@@jonpriston8784 It s still great to have the touch and the sounds of buttons. Especially when we are talking about Mercedes.
@@jonpetter8921 I had a C class Merc on loan recently and I hated it. It seemed to have about 4 home buttons, no touch screen and zero acceleration
@@jonpriston8784 I have the impression that the EQE is having less button though
Very nice! I just can’t ever walk into a dealership to buy a car ever again.
Not sure if you are serious when you say they did not complicate things. Everything on that infotainment is confusing.
Wait the accent was actually great.
Well nobody is taking the AMG to the track - its too heavy and too plush for it - great review with a lot of fun, loved the little pull at the end 😂, thank you! The pricing for the "normal" EQE starts below 75kUSD
DAMN that accent was KILLER💪❤
When you say “if you can get a good lease” what do mean?
Always always test the rear seat, it is the past im always looking forward to the most in every car video,
Thx!
I agree.
Better than Teslas offering, and this is not even the EQS
I am so past having 87 buttons on the steering wheel. Why does the drive mode need to be adjusted from there? In a sedan you are going to be changing drive modes all the time while driving?
I used it a lot and it was very convenient
Actually yes you do change them whilst driving, and the regen change with the paddles is surprisingly engaging. Changing either ina tesla is not easy or engaging.
My sister was my first kiss
This the 1st video I’ve watched of yours and I really thought you were British at first 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice job!
M3P dies off at 40mph and becomes a LR m3 at 70mph
The EQE probably pulls consistent even at highway speeds, love the car
I will never understand why an EV needs a start/stop button. Pushing the brake pedal is plenty to turn on the car…smh…
It doesnt need the button, but along with the pointless fake sounds they are trying to give gas owners a sense of familiarity. Eventually both will go.
YOU’RE AMAZING. THANK YOU
That first kiss comment was genius. I literally laughed out loud. Long live the blue liquid. Only Mercedes could complicate something that way.
Have you driven the EQS SUV version? That is the one I want!
Yes I have and I will be driving the EQE suv soon
Which is better the Tesla Y or this?
You can get two Model Y's for this price but the Mercedes was more fun to drive simply because of the power and drive modes. It's a great EV just costs a lot.
@@Gjeebs I wish my Y had a interior premium feel like that.
Not just the infotainment. Everything on that steering wheel feels so cumbersome, complicated. It's just too much, for a steering wheel. C'mon Mercedes.
1:50 😂😂😂
I would buy this over the Model S but they better adopt the Tesla NACs or it is dead in the water.
They already have so that is coming
The mustang Mach-E has the most subtle acceleration sound…what the hell is this guy talking about??
That 0-60 sound tho 😂 *mmeerrrrrrrrpppp* …. 😐
It’s still blows my mind that at $130,000, they still don’t match the colour of the car with the virtual car on the infotainment system 🤦🏻♂️
hahaha I agree
18:36 Show us the rematch
For the price, I would rather get a Model S Plaid.
For a second I thought I was watching CarWow.
I thought you were British and then was happy. Then you became American and i was like oh -_-. 😂
I can tell you really like the EQE. But we saw your brain working when you compared it to a model S….. maybe a side by side comparison is in order?
The Model S is better in almost every way but there will be people that just want this
Love the interior. Nobody does interiors better than Mercedes. AMG is a BS name for this. The naame AMG means hand made custom engines and all the AMG is in this car is upgraded software.
In a workd without engines amg has to adapt

Don't compare apples to oranges
$130k! I’d rather have a 200 mph S plaid 😂

But still, you will NEVER feel the same when you drive a Porsche or Mercedes or Audi etc. Tesla is just a high tech super fast plstic

AMG = Ach Mein Gott!
Me gusta mercedes benz para mama vera

It’s hideous
MB SERVICE is a TOTAL SCAM👺... RUN for MB Products... 🔥
Sleek & Sexy, the car that is!! 😉
Tesla is done for
