Been watching you like a hundred years and I still love your enthusiasm combined with excellent reviews. I just realized that every time I see you driving around in this Californian areas I get the “Fernweh”. I’m from Germany and I would so much love to drive through the US, especially the West Coast, but also the deserts, from Vegas, to Arizona, through Texas and through the swamps down to the Keys. However, for you, it’s like a 9 to 5 thing I guess. So funny, how perspectives change depending on the side you are on. Sometimes, when I’m doing over 150 mph on our Autobahn, I think about my friends from foreign countries that always freaked out when they experienced this. For me, it’s as normal as for you to drive on a highway with a view of the Pacific… ;)

Glad that Mercedes didn't make any radical changes of its exterior styling (especially when it comes to aerodynamics). It looks recognizable and kept the design language of what the G-wagon looked like since it was introduced in the early 80s. More manufacturers should do this design approach if they don't want to completely change the look of a vehicle just because of the aerodynamics. One other example of this is the Ford F-150 Lightning still looks like an F-150, but the Silverado EV looks more like an Avalanche than the ICE version of the Silverado.

The G rumble is due to regulations - in some countries EVs have to produce a sound (of a manufacturer's choice) at low speeds so that pedestrians can hear them coming. Above more or less 15mph the tires are usually louder than the engine, so that sound is turned off. This one sounds like a industrial AC unit or diesel generator though, weird choice if you ask me.

Fake gas engine noises are corny, for of age drivers.

Funny, that is not what the majority had to say when reading comments for Ioniq 5 N reviews.

​@@LAndrewsChannelThe difference is the Ionic 5N knows it's being silly. This one is trying to be serious.

[@LAndrewsChannel]

@@drunkenhobo8020 That is hardly "engine noise", sounds like a loud AC compressor running and might be just that. There is literally no point in having an EV make sounds just sitting.

[@JasonWW2000]

Isn't there a legal requirement that it has to make some sort of noise for pedestrian safety?

The G turn was basically created as a feature for doug to show as a quirk on his video and that's it hahaha, I don't see it being practical if it's only able to do it on gravel and also being complicated to engage...

“Stronger than time” but the battery has a limited lifespan. Stupidly expensive

[@lbgstzockt8493]

The battery will probably outlast the absurdly overbuilt V8s in the normal G-class, especially given how the average g-class driver treats their cars.

[@tomh9470]

@@VelkePivo Here’s the deal…the average American motorist’s biggest concern about EV adoption is currently the cost to replace the battery. Why? Because, whenever an EV battery fails, it gets news attention…the news says, “It’s gonna cost $7K or $20K” on a 2 year old EV with 17K miles. Hmmmm…EV batteries are warranted for 8 years, 100K miles…MINIMUM. So, was this a used/abused car? Or, a car modified in such a way that battery life was impacted? If a gas vehicle blows an engine at 17K miles, nobody hears about it. It’s not news, unless it’s an EV. Bottom line: Conditioned batteries (in just about every EV after the original Nissan Leaf) can last 20 years, 800K miles under ideal conditions. Will they all last that long? No, definitely not. But most will last over 10 years or 120+K miles, even under somewhat abusive conditions, like frequent fast charging to 100%. If you educate yourself & use common sense in your charging practices, an EV battery/motor will outlast 99.99% of ICE cars.

[@DgaDM]

@@tomh9470 I don't know how it is in the US, but in Germany, the _average_ age of the cars on the road is about 12 years. Gas powered cars have proven to last about 20 years if serviced properly and not abused. In addition, everyone experienced degrading Li-Ion batteries in Laptops, Smartphones, MP3 players etc after only a few years. That's why people are concerned about battery lifetime.
