[@TheStraightPipes]

Heheh

[@rolfknappmann]

The least aerodynamic electric car of all time :D I love that Mercedes did that. It's so smart. Most electric cars look futuristic and roundish (except the Cybertruck), but to just take the EXACT design of one of their most popular (if not THE most popular of their) vehicles and transition it to electric is probably a great business decision. More car makers should make an EV out of their most popular car, without really changing the design, but simultaneously selling the combustion engine version. This is the best chance to make people like the car and transition to electric. The G-turn feature definitely helps. Mercedes starts building tanks again xD

[@MaticTheProto]

Yup. The G is insanely sought after. Our dealerships get around 21 per batch. They are unlocked for ordering in the evening and are already all sold early morning. We have a really long waitlist for them too, and considering we are in the Swabian part of Germany where most people are rather stingy and don’t like to flex with expensive cars, that says a lot! Also since mercedes HQ is in Stuttgart, I saw a lot of EQG prototypes driving around here over the last years. They did a lot of real world testing!

[@hummerltheOh]

@@MaticTheProto The Mercedes HQ is in Stuttgart, but the G Class is actually developed and produced in Graz, Austria :) That's where I live and I saw a ton of them, they have been tested thoroughly :)

The great thing about Mercedes is that when they make big changes, they actually listen to the public and change the things they got wrong. Seems like they've learned a lot that people didn't like on their other EVs

[@MaticTheProto]

It‘s kinda funny. So many people said they just want normal Mercedes cars but electric. Mercedes now did just that. Now many people still complain because they are biased against evs lol. But this will absolutely sell well. Also seeing the unaerodynamic shape of the g, they made it insanely efficient

[@MercOne]

I don't see how that applies to the G which was an existing vehicle. If they're really listening, the new EV from the ground up won't look like the EQS or EQE vehicles. This is based on an existing vehicle.

[@JB50713]

Thanks for that video. I likeit a lot. Actually this is the best electric Mercedes-Benz at the moment. Ups.. wrong - this is the best electric CAR at the moment. I think that you stated this a couple of times in the video - this is how an EV car should look and feel. Looks like a normal vehicle, has normal controls (as normal as they can be) and all of that makes it feel like a normal car.

[@SlickRick330]

Just curious does Mercedes flight you guys out in coach or first class?

[@YuriTereshyn]

Every manufacturer flies business if it’s more than 5 hours or to a different continent so yes
