Ditching Tesla for Mercedes EQE !

[@TheStewieGriffinShow]

I have an EQE 500 4matic with the AMG package. It's loaded! I love it. You can't even get HUD or rear wheel steering in Tesla sedans. It's only available in the Cyber truck. I really love the soft close doors, voice activation, and massage bucket seats. Do you really think you can get massage bucket seats in a Tesla? 😂

[@frozencold199]

cooled seats are so underrated

[@CycoWarriorx]

Facts… 100% facts…

[@Sammy0003]

Yup Had it in 09 Cadillac CTS

[@Bluegill2Bluefin]

Sure appreciated and used my cooling seats when I got in the Escalade after a day fishing with temps up to 114 deg at lake Havasu!

[@CycoWarriorx]

All that amazing tech inside something shaped like a suppository…. 😂

[@Bluegill2Bluefin]

U mean the model 3?😂

[@TRexHeliPilot]

Go and check the resail value of these cars, you can find them for only $52K or so with just 9,000 miles on them. You'd be a fool to buy them new.

[@dameb3682]

I leased this car for a huge discount and it’s amazing. Massage seats, HUD, and ride comfort are fantastic. At least better than the CLS I drove previously. My cousin leased a model 3 CY 2021 and the steering wheel was already starting to peel within 2 years. Build quality hopefully is better in the highland, but he jumped to an electric BMW. Bottom line is…trust what gjeebs is telling you. This is actually a great car. No manufacturer has a “perfect” car, and almost all EVs at this price depreciate crazy. Either through the market forces or because of Elons whims.

[@EdwardBoicourtIV]

Everyone in the comments is hating on this thing and i wont deny that Tesla still has the most compelling EVs when you factor in the entire portfolio of charging and tech but as someone who doesnt own a tesla now i really like the EQE.

[@tribalypredisposed]

This is an “if Tesla didn’t exist” car, like many legacy automaker EVs. If Tesla didn’t exist, this would be a thrilling offering. But then, if Tesla didn’t exist, legacy automakers would not be making EVs.

[@1HeatWalk]

Tesla has bad quality.

[@lothark.8977]

This is a Car - Tesla warnt to be….

[@colinbrydon7659]

Huge price difference between them depending in what Tesla you go for even comparing the base eqe. Batteries great in the Tesla. I have a model Y and the eqe, there’s no comparison eqe 350 prem plus and the Mercedes tech is phenomenal. 3-4 months in and still finding new things

[@JonPriston-ds9ec]

I'll stick to a long range Y and the extra $30k

[@ronin4580]

Lots of add ons to a MYLR can be had for $30k

[@1HeatWalk]

You can buy a used eqe. Tesla build quality sucks.

[@JonPriston-ds9ec]

@ it's good enough for me

[@jamesrichardson900]

Dude Teslas have the worst build ever. The model Y is by far the worst.

[@JonPriston-ds9ec]

@ nonsense.

[@mike168168]

Get an used one. Saw a 2023 with 1K miles for $59K. That’s a lot of depreciation!

[@danielstehura9657]

Mercedes is Trying! Maybe in 10 years they will be nose to nose with Tesla! I want to see Mercedes install a massive charging network!

[@yatpuquattro4719]

Would rather get 2 Tesla😅

[@colinbrydon7659]

Just buy the premium plus model at the same cost. It has everything and your getting 21 inch wheel, better ambient, bermister, rear privacy, different rear end etc. you still get rear steering, air suspension etc.

[@markfitzpatrick6692]

Love to see you try other cars besides Tesla.

[@ClausPelz]

You can keep the A/C running while you go to the store, I do that all the time when I have the dogs with me. It's just one tap on the screen

[@Gjeebs]

Good to know. Thank you! Can you also set it from the app?

[@ClausPelz]

@@Gjeebs yes it stays on for 10 or 15 minutes I think when you use the app to turn on the A/C

[@harriettanthony7352]

Seems a fine EV. IF I wished to buy one, I'd wait 02 yrs and get it for $30K

[@ModernDayMixtapes]

Awesome video! Really enjoyed it

[@tribalypredisposed]

Hump and lack of cargo space courtesy of it being made on a shared platform.

[@TyrannicG]

the AC thing is very German I think... my VWs have been the same way, either blasting my face frozen, or im burning in this PHX sun

[@windowsdown3684]

Mercedes missed the boat COMPLETELY with the design on their electric range. Absolutely disgusting and inexcusable. My buddy works at MB and said they are SITTING

[@j.m.9684]

The Cost is Ridiculous…I’ll pass! 😂😂😂😂

[@angelo6627]

This eqe suppose to be a large car. Does 3 adults fit at the backseat?

[@colinbrydon7659]

Not overly big in the rear. But you can fit 3 adults. Centre console position in the rear is quite far forward, so if in the middle your feet still has room.

[@Noname-bg8sh]

Empty area on the Dashboard Looks weired without the hyperscreen 🙃

[@prokastinatore]

German engineering is still the best!

[@Ned.Kattan]

The passenger seat is shaking. 2:50 and the steering wheel is shaking at the highway speed 3:45.

[@Gjeebs]

That's the camera

[@PatrickGroth-n3c]

whats the brand of the shades?! is it an Oakley model?

[@Gjeebs]

Maui Jim, I have them linked in the description under amazon links

[@PatrickGroth-n3c]

great, thank you

It’s growing on me.

The Germans always get you on the options.

Mercedes EV AMG, one man, one battery.

[@guyg2005]

Let me know when all the non Tesla’s have the built in NACS and then we can talk about it.

[@SydneyEV]

how many "matic" names can Mercedes get in their cars!

[@davehaller6477]

I am a ways from being done with my 21 Model S but I am seriously liking the new Mecan Turbo from Porsche. I am going to test drive one when it gets here in Nov. The EQE, gotta have the complete front digital dash of the EQS.

[@Gjeebs]

I was a huge fan of the Macon s I owned. I think I still like the gas variant over their ev offering but we will see

[@davehaller6477]

@@Gjeebs how was the overall ownership experience? The only thing that scares me about Mercedes, Audi, BMW or Porsche ownership is the service and repair costs. My Aunt owns a Q8 and her service and repair costs plus parts availability is a concern.

[@dmkmd7188]

I’m out, no cooled seats!

[@elmin2323]

lol isn’t Benz and bmw pulling out of evs lol this car be worth less then half in 12 months

[@keithferguson6422]

No thanks, ill stick with Teslz.

[@1HeatWalk]

Tesla has bad quality control. The panel gap and material has nothing on Mercedes. I don't care about fsd Tesla offers.

[@Anonymous-is6xu]

@@1HeatWalkkeep defending an “ultra luxury car brand” that has cheap creaky plastic on the steering wheel even on its flagship vehicles which are well north of 100k 😂😂😂😂

[@jimmycho8399]

EQE exploded in South Korea yesterday. Chinese Battery Supplies are troublesome as well. Manufacture should indicate where their Batteries are Supplied.

[@Mike-dd8bd]

How does someone look at the side profile of this car and think it looks good?

[@octavianbaicu]

I'll stick with my 2 Teslas for the money. Model y and 3. lol No thanks. And stick with the most reliable software. lol

[@nguyenhanh9479]

97k ? I rather get a Plaid.

[@patrickrabion9473]

Any maintenance will bend you over…

[@Hmmm313]

No maintenance

[@DinanBMWm5]

No maintenance? Do you know how cars work? All cars require maintenance, whether you know of them or not is a different thing.

[@sludog]

Sorry but paddle shifter regenerative braking is the dumbest thing on EV’s.

[@Hmmm313]

Dont ever use sonroof on german cars. Its a fortune to fix…

[@guerro327]

I have not felt I needed a sunshade in my M3LR. I hear people say the sunlight bothers them but I hardly notice it.

[@bensontek]

$97k. 😂😂😂

[@xkr510]

I was out at 27s. That thing is just not worth it. I won’t make any further comments.

[@solidstream13]

Much better customer service with Mercedes. Tesla it’s hard to deal with

[@Gjeebs]

Yea at least with Mercedes you can easily talk to someone knowledgeable

[@societykrew]

Mercedes ditching EVs altogether lol

[@guyg2005]

Ridiculous price. More money than brains.

[@ghislainbourassa1906]

I prefer any Tesla than this car. Tesla Model X has 670 to 1020 HP. It can do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. Much much more than this MB. The X Plaid is only 77990$. Much cheaper and better.

[@DinanBMWm5]

X Plaid starts at 92,990.

[@danielstehura9657]

I got to 7 and 1/2 minutes and couldn’t take it! It’s like a 2012 Tesla model S with a Mickey Mouse Charging Network! Shame on Mercedes!

[@colinbrydon7659]

You do know in the uk, even if you have a merc, you can use the Tesla network

[@apolloxgod]

And Mercedes just this year closed out its EV division. I was looking at the EQE suv, so glad I went with MY

[@dialy1]

288hp. My ebike has more power than that.

[@ThomasButryn]

Dude, no! Tesla is the best

[@Gjeebs]

I own 2 of them

[@ThomasButryn]

@@Gjeebsgood man

[@colinbrydon7659]

It’s completely a different car. I have the eqe 350 amg prem plus and a model y, and there’s no comparison on the comfort, but the Tesla is also great, a lot cheaper and a great battery. Tesla just a bit bare inside and prefer the exterior look of the merc.tech is sublime on the merc.

[@George_Shonia]

4 matic, electric😂

[@Fanzindel]

We’re still doing “porsh”? Still?

[@MountainManGuy]

Mercedes is definitely doing a lot of things right on their new EV's. The one thing they are completely failing on is the interior. Did a blind guy design that?

[@jwb2814]

Noooooooo say it ain’t so.

Don't worry. He'll be back🤣

[@MrPietersc]

Poor choice

[@tomquimby8669]

Oh yawn!

[@charliewilliams1474]

Just think next year you will be able to get this exact car for 45k. One of the worst depreciating vehicles in the market today.

[@grantguy8933]

No no no.

[@Bass2Bassnet]

Sounds like payed advertising 😢

[@Gjeebs]

I have never been paid by a manufacturer. Anytime I say nice neutral things people say this. I would also have to disclose that

[@user-el8lb8rr1z]

Ditching Tesla just for a week to test drive an EQE, but picking up your Tesla right back to keep it for a long while, right? A well-equipped FSD Tesla model S AWD costs $10,000 less than your test-driven EQE that lacks even front seat ventilation.
