Electric G 580 First Drive! The Roaring, Spinning & Drifting G Wagon!

In 10 years when your electric G wagon still costs $50k over sticker, it might actually make sense replacing the battery. This might be the first car where it makes financial sense to replace the battery,

[@didierpuzenat7280]

Why would you want to replace the battery in 10 years ? You plan to drive 50 000 per year ? with a G Wagon...

[@vincenttr8824]

⁠@@didierpuzenat7280battery is dying over time, after 10 years, the battery sucks

[@didierpuzenat7280]

@@vincenttr8824 Yes, a battery loss capacity with time, but it does not "suck" after 10 years 🙄. The *average* is a loss of 1.8 % per year, and of course good cars, eg with good thermomanagement, have smaller loss, eg Teslas but probably also this G wagon. So for 90% of the owners the range after 20 years will still be far enough even for long trips, and the 10% remaining owners can sell their car to someone who needs less range. And the 1.8% are calculated on cars on the road, while new cars get better all the time, eg with new LFP batteries with even better longevity. In the meantime, after 20 years, the ICE version of the G wagon will have cost you a fortune in maintenance, repairs, and of course fuel ; not to mention in many countries you will no be allowed to enter cities.

Fantastic video as always Raz. Probably the only EV I'm interested in future :)

[@snarkyboojum]

How is the g roar created? Is this guy getting excited about the synthesised engine noise?

[@casaxtreme2952]

I as a neighbor would be very excited to not hear the combustion roar every morning, that's why I heavily support all EV owners in our street and own one myself. The roar on the interiour is a good way to still have fun while driving. Why does it matter so much if the sound is synthesised or not? I am a car enthusiast myself and owned a C Class Coupe AMG, I loved the sound so much. But I learned that it is not all about sound and that you should respect other people that want to rest, especially in city environments. I for myself decided to put respect towards other people over my "need" of having a fun sounding car. I'm not talking about you (because I don't know you) but I wish that people would understand that every "fun" acceleration in city streets makes one driver happy for a few seconds but annoys hundreds of people who have to live with this noise all day and can not properly rest from work.

I would buy the G580, but not for its fake sound. It's an EV, so it doesn't need the artificial noise, which is annoying. The quietness is a benefit, allowing me to better appreciate the driving terrain.

No way that the electric g class would be better a v8 I don’t believe how Mercedes turned this iconic car to electric ⚡️

[@van123446]

Wondering,,, I drove a '21 g63 and afterwards,, didn't want it. Felt too heavy, nose dive, body roll. Wondering if this one is any better?

[@BinaryBlueBull]

Well, because the battery is all the way down in the ladder chassis, it should have a much lower center of gravity. If they have put enough thought into the suspension, that might (just might) mean that body roll and nose dive could be less. It's going to be heavier though, of course, but if they manage the weight well, which some manufacturers have learned to do quite well, it could be that you're not going to notice it that much and in some areas like roll and dive it could mean an improvement. In other words: no idea, just some possible positive hypotheses

[@van123446]

@@BinaryBlueBull all good and similar thoughts to mine,, and, I understand that battery tech and Mercedes involvement with leading Chinese battery manufact. will introduce next gen battery with double the power density, Thus I can imagine offering same range but half the weight, or same weight and double the range. There may not be deterrent body roll, but theres still three tons around every corner and ever braking ( although regen. might actually save that part of the flaw ). I also suspect a higher power amg version coming soon, which most likely will have the hydraulic sus. system included. I want that one.

There is no option for a towbar on the Mercedes configurator. Do you think it will ever have one or does the electric versions' chassis set up prevent it?
