I have another question: When you take the car at high speeds - 150kmph or 100mph + - I get a very loud HUMMING sound from the front and this goes on for about 15-20 min. Is this the cooling system/fan? It's so loud it overpowers the music in the car too! Have you faced this issue? Is it normal? Just asking...

That does not sound good. As our freeways keep us slower, I've only gone 100mph once. My EQS was as quiet as always at that speed. You may get an answer from your dealership's service team.

I found that intelligent recuperation is the best for me. It's pretty much one pedal driving as long as there's a car in front of you. It will stop just behind great stop and go traffic that in conjunction with the cruise control you don't have to touch either paddle.

You’ve saved at the pumps and servicing but when you factor in the depreciation and insurance compared to an ICE car I expect you have taken a fairly big hit to your wallet.

@EQS-Owner 8 күн бұрын
My insurance is about the same as it was when I had an ICE S-550. Depreciation is more dramatic with the EQS right now, but I could have leased the car if that was my focus. No, I am keeping this car for a long time and it will have paid for the difference by then. Even if it doesn't, I bought the EQS-580 for my enjoyment and I am content with the ownership experience.

I’m curious about depreciation electric vs the gas model
@EQS-Owner
@EQS-Owner 11 күн бұрын
Right now, EVs are depreciating significantly faster than gas cars. I suspect the lacking infrastructure is the primary reason behind this. In a few years, the roles may reverse but, right now, buying an EV means you will lose a lot to depreciation. May be better to lease, or just plan on keeping it longer. That's the route I am now taking.

Is there any net benefit between recuperation modes or is it “swings and roundabouts”?
@EQS-Owner
@EQS-Owner 18 күн бұрын
There is a bit of a difference. The stronger the recuperation is set: 1) the faster you slow down; and 2) the more energy you put back into the batteries. From my experience, the differences in how fast it slows the car is dramatically different. However, I have not noticed any extended range from using the recuperation. Based on how recuperation is designed, I am sure there is some benefit for the range, I just have not noticed any changes.

Thanks for the comparison! How about tire wear on your EQS? Other owners talk about a significant difference between EV’s and ICE cars.
@EQS-Owner
@EQS-Owner Ай бұрын
The EQS is heavier, so I expect the tires will wear out faster. It's just physics. That said, driving styles, road conditions, individual tire construction and weather all play into how long tires laser as well. I am preparing to get a new set of tires at 20,000 miles for my EQS-580, where I might expect tires to last 25-30,000 on an S-580.
@johnpoldo8817
@johnpoldo8817 Ай бұрын
Excellent comparison. Does S-580 have rear wheel steering like its electric equivalent? Turning radius in EQS with rear wheel steering is outstanding. One other item EQS is missing is the MB hood ornament, although I heard next year’s model will add it. Sadly, the next model will add a FAKE grill which EVs don’t need. I hate anything fake. I wish MB would remove the start-stop button and offer walk-away locking like other EVs.

@@johnpoldo8817 I am! Though I really don't like the hood ornament. I like the more subtle look. I also like the large mercedes star at the front (without additional stars - just the big one). The fake chrome grill at nose looks no better than any of the other noses. The only thing that would make the nose better would be to raise the hood front a little and make the front more square, but that sacrifices the aerodynamics. All that being said, I am not enticed by the fake chrome grill at the nose. It'll take more than that for this car to be more appealing from the outside. Obviously I didn't mind it - I bought the 2023 (EQS SUV).

Hi, thanks so much for sharing all your information and your journey. I just purchased a 2024 EQE 350+ SUV the dealer did not charge. The car took delivery with it at about 21% battery went to electrify America. It started charging at about 173 kWh, but then quickly dropped in about three minutes only about 40 kWh. I guess I did not pre-condition the battery is there any advice on how to start a precondition on the way to the charging station I actually couldn't find out how to select the charging station I was going to because all the charging stations in the car navigation just show half baked addresses, I knew the address but couldn't figure out how to select the exact charging station I was going to thanks
@EQS-Owner
@EQS-Owner Ай бұрын
Pre-conditioning is not always required. Sounds more like your charger was having issues. To answer your question about selecting the station (with the auto pre-conditioning turned on): use the address to find the charging stations, then manually select the charging station as your destination. Depending on outside temperatures and your distance from the stations, Pre-conditioning may not kick in.

Best to get one a year old with low miles for half the price. These things depreciate worse that Tesla and Tesla reduced their pricing by 30% so at least if you stick with a Tesla when you trade, the depreciation gets offset by the pricing reduction. So based on the latest pricing I traded my model 3 for 5 years and it cost me only $15,000. A new EQS would cost about $125,000 to drive for 5 years (just a guess)
