How to SAVE 40 000$ on a MERCEDES-BENZ EQS!

[@stephenwensley]

The only thing that version is missing from the AMG that would be useful is the display with battery temperature

[@KrisRifa]

Yeah, true! Not sure why that is not here!

[@stephenwensley]

@@KrisRifa Mercedes regard it as an exclusive part of the AMG package where those drivers want more information. I think they should make that screen available on all their EVs

[@KrisRifa]

@@stephenwensley I understand, but IMO battery temp should be information available in every EV 🙈

Kris, did you read about the Taycan Turbo/etron RS drivetrain unlock? You might have the most bargain Taycan if they start doing it for the lower trims, too. 😇

[@KrisRifa]

No I didn’t! Do you have a link? Sounds pretty interesting!

[@abraxastulammo9940]

@@KrisRifa I saw it at kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaHNkqeHl6ppndU They enabled constant overboost on demand and disabled the gradual powercap and lower max speed for Audi from what I understand. Thermal monitoring and limits are still in place.

@@abraxastulammo9940 thanks! But this is a tuning time then? Or something you can buy from Porsche/Audi like what Polestar and Tesla are doing?

[@abraxastulammo9940]

@@KrisRifa Yes, 3rd party without factory warranty. Mercedes offers a subscription for more power in certain models, though.

[@KrisRifa]

@@abraxastulammo9940 Yeah I saw the whole video. My German isn't 100%, but I think I understood the most important. Would be cool if HGP could tune the CT4, would be nice to get 4S+ power! And also the thing I liked the most about HGPs tuning was the new top speed! Remember my E-Tron GT hitting an artificial wall at 245KPH GPS....

Kris how about having a 35-40kg labrador in the back? The EQE is no option with the small trunk door. EQS should be fine for having a dog in the back? Anyone with experience maybe reading this? Thank you!

[@KrisRifa]

I think if you remove the trunk cover it may work. The trunk is long and wide, but the question is how will the dog like or not like the sloping roof ....

I drove this car and it is simply too big inside. Especially if you are a shorter person. Would be okay if used to chauffeur VIP's. When you adjust the front seat to reach the accelerator, you look like a kid in the seat when viewed from the side with the door open. Moving the seat that far forward creates a huge open floor space between the back of the front seat and the front edge of the rear passenger seat and looks very unattractive seeing the front seat attach rails fully visible from the rear passenger seat. Also, the car is just too heavy and also does not have a heat pump resulting in a significant loss in range when driving in the winter time. MB knows this was a mistake and intends to add one on the EQS in the future. The EQE SUV will come with the heat pump but in case you don't know, the just released EQE SUV ordering guide shows that they will not be offering the hyper screen for 2023 on the EQE SUV even though there are numerous videos and picture shows it there.
