The EQE isn't in the same ballpark as the other cars.

I own a 23 MS Plaid, had a 2019 M3 Performance, and my folks just picked up an EQE 500. I am very impressed with the EQE. It's a wonderfully refined grand tourer for a first effort from MB and far outside the scope of a Model 3.

However, quality-wise the EQE just feels like a notch above them. Furthermore it has options that you can’t even get for money in a Tesla like massaging seats for example.

The good thing about Teslas is that you can add aftermarket features like: power opening and closing doors, power front trunk, heads up display etc. I don’t think you can do that on the German cars. You can’t even open the hood on the Mercedes. 😂

[@markpirola8152]

There is good choice in heads up displays. I favour the frugality of switchback .. neat circular analogue and digital vitals or wireless landscape phone chargers. Also s3xy Knob is a very worthy device on pre order phase right now. Not a heads up but more a versatile rotary knob and switch group.

I saw the haptic buttons on the steering wheel, and the left is closer to the edge of the circumference while the right is closer to the centre; which isn't quite a deal breaker if you found yourself needing to indicate out of a roundabout, just hit the more centred button out of the two of them and your right indicator comes on

Here in Germany you see a lot of Teslas but at the same Time you also see a lot of Skoda, Seat, Cupra, VW, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi etc etc. EVs. I noticed a lot of Americans especially are surprised by that, mentioning lower Range, but Range believe it or not is not as important in most of Europe as you rarely need a crazy high Range for Work, Business Trips etc. While in the USA everything is much further apart, so Range matters more. Also f.e. here in Germany at least you will have a hard Time NOT finding a Charging Station everywhere. So it's difficult to experience Range Anxiety here. My point being: Many People buy Legacy Brand EVs because they care more abot Customer Service and of course have Brand Loyalty because of Good Experiences. So it's not rare to see someone prefer an Audi, VW etc. EV over a Tesla even if the Price is around the same or even more expensive. Prost & Cheers from Germany

[@Jaw0lf]

@@Jimthehumanoid The UK government announced that road tax will be applied retrospectively from 1st April 2025 to include EV's from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2025. I believe that the luxury car tax that is applied to all cars over £40,000 will only be applied to cars purchased after this is implemented. So having an EV less than £40,000 now guarantees that it would not be hit by any changes.

The Model 3 wins, hands-down. Especially in the US, where the it is the only one of those cars eligible for the full $7,500 tax rebate, which brings the price down to around that of a Corolla. Hypercar acceleration, the highest crash test ratings given by either Euro NCAP or NTHSA/IIHS, as cheap as a Corolla, but saves $5k/year in fuel and maintenance costs, and nearly the cargo space of an SUV in the lower profile of a sedan.

You can also really notice the Hyundai as it also stands out and does not look like anything else on the road.. being the INOI6 SUV is better looking.

[@Slider68]

At 33:15, Mat states that turning off regenerative braking will maximize range. That is not correct. Admittedly there are situations where using too much regenerative braking, followed by accelerating again, to much regen again, accelerating again, etc.... BUT that is all due to the driver. If you use the accelerator pedal properly and hold it down the correct amount to maintain the desired speed then you will maximize efficiency. Keeping the regenerative braking cranked up will maximize the use of regenerative braking when you do want to slow down, so again will pretty much always maximize efficiency.
