The down/up paddle mimic the manual shifting of gears, that's why when you press down u get more regen, because when you downshift in a ICE you get that engine brake.

I think he knows but still lazy of a billion dollar company like Mercedes to mass-produce the same pedals for their ICE and EV lines. Also from a functionality perspective how often do you switch between regen to have to need dedicated stalks for it.

I asked an automotive engineer the same question, the answer is whatever stock system a manufacturer puts in a car has to be compliant with very strict safety and quality standards. (how they react or break in an accident, how they manage the constant resonance, how they take the temperature when you leave your car in the sun or in the freezing cold, etc. You get the idea) Consumer grade electronics rarely meet these criteria and I guess Mercedes doesn't have a whole hardware division for developing cutting edge tablets for cars, so you get the shitty 10 year old infotainment systems. I do agree that for the price you pay for supposedly premium car, you would deserve a much better system. Hopefully we'll get a new generation of car tablets soon because they can't get away with these "archaic" devices for much longer 😂

It's all nonsense. Manufacturer's just don't like to acknowledge that they're terrible at certain things, UX and UI being two major ones. They could easily use Android Auto with some fancy skins if they wanted to, ala Volvo/Polestar. They'd rather ship a half arsed digital experience which is all in house, rather than giving credit where it's due. All this testing nonsense still applies to marque's who use AA, so clearly that's not the reason.

My car is in the shop and I got one of these as a loaner. Here are my 2 cents. The acceleration is a lot of fun. It's been awhile since putting my foot down brought a smile to my face. As a long time Benz owner, I have to say that I have some complaints though. The center screen is large, so it's awkward to use it as a touch screen. Even more awkward is trying to use the incredibly sensitive touch button on the steering wheel. The range is also a problem. I don't drive a lot, but it definitely causes range anxiety watching your battery % dip so quickly. Finally, the most common criticism is also true: It's kind of boring to look at.

I would actually be in this market segment if I wanted an SUV and if I paying the price of an EQE, I don’t care about its drag coefficient, I want a luxury SUV that has road presence .. which happens to be electric. There’s a problem with the whole EQ line, which is who is the target demographic? Their normal buyers of E/S level sedans and suvs willing to spend upwards of 100k are not doing so to look like a jelly bean smooshed car. They do so because they like the road presence previously associated to the brand. What market is there for 100k+ vehicles that look all goofy for a low drag coefficient with mediocre range and mediocre power, that doesn’t even justify the design? Why would anyone go with EQ over the established electrics, or even BMW and Audi’s more tame approach?

@G82Watts
@G82Watts 6 ай бұрын
U do realize "minimalistic" means inexpensive, right? That's just a marketing word so they don't have to say they cut manufacturing cost down so they can make their profit margins higher. Look at tesla and how their able to do constant price cuts on their cars. A car thats expensive should have good qaulity buttons for simple controls. Always. Looking down and scrolling for everything rather then just pushing and driving is exactly what "luxury" isn't.

@@G82Watts Porsche GTS series doesn't target to bring comfort, luxury and aesthetics. It basically ignores it all, aiming to bring power, handling, control on the track instead. In some way they are minimalistic after losing the weight of all original Porsche bells and whistles. This MB is for regular people who drive it daily and use the interface daily. But what they get is a cocktail which is not worth the money asked. This EQ-series is one of the most depreciating car on the market now. For a reason.

I am sorry, the looks isn't the best especially for the price but i don't think it's outright ugly if you're comparing it to the BMW IX or the Model X. Especially the BMW IX with the frontend and rearend with body lines and shapes that don't flow very well at all. The model X would be even better if the headlights get a refresh to like the model 3 highland. UI is a very subjective question, i agree it's functional and the looks isn't the prettiest but it's miles better than Idrive especially in the layout of settings. Connecting your phone to Idrive takes more steps from menu to submenu to sub options just to connect your phone. And while calling this ugly, we might as well throw in vinfast and fisker under the bus too.

IX is a polarizing look and some people might like it. This one looks like mb took zero risk and just made a generic car. It’s tasteless and cowardly. If you are an old man sure by all mean buy it but if you want your car to look different then buy an iX. Model X is too old to even be discussed in the same conversation.

@@GoodBrownBear it's not polarizing rather extremely radical looking with current team of BMW designers. It's a vehicle that throws away all previous BMW design languages out the door. Further refering to Frank Stephenson's video on the IX (designer of the McLaren P1 and the BMW X5). The car is designed by "product designers not car designers". A lot more tasteless and emotionless in my opinion with it's exterior design. I am loving how BMW is trying to evolve but this just isn't it.

If you want the Merc interior, and I don't blame you, get the EQE 500 instead. You get range back, it's fast enough, and you still get the great interior at the lower price.

The EQ range isn’t that great because it’s a performance oriented EV. And it’s heavier for sure. Interior is definitely top notch. I predict Mercedes will release a facelift soon as they’ve done with the EQS for 2025.

I'm a mechanical engineering student, currently doing an internship working with electric vehicles, what a lot of people don't think about with electric vehicles is that they could be far more efficient as far as aerodynamics if we're willing to give up that traditional look and shape that we've come to expect. From an engineering standpoint, I think that the shape is pretty good, but from a business and consumer standpoint, it's off putting an ugly. Would you take a vehicle that is willing to give you 450 mi of range but it looks ugly, or would you be willing to take a vehicle that gives you 300 and 20 mi of range, but it looks really nice? That's the question that we need to answer in this field, and where those two viewpoints intersect is where we tend to build cars. Mercedes, you failed on this one

Dude, for that price, you have to luv it. I have the GLC 300 and I luv it, but I do miss the buttons, the display is very distracting. Like you said, you need to get used to it. I don't think car designers realize that when you're driving, you can't be looking at such a big screen unless you have a co-pilot (Star Trek comes to mind). Also, glad you said the car makes noises, mine makes some noises and it makes me wonder if there's something wrong with it. But now, hearing you say that, it puts me at ease that these cares just do that. Great review.

Like, overwhelmed by useless features, annoyed by gadgety tech, bothered by complexity of little things, nervous about that AI assistant not being able to perform the easiest tasks and it also has a load time for a “hello”. Maybe the word I’m looking for is: scared?

Also, I don't carry a bulky key fob in my pocket. I do envy having a suspension. I am not sure my 2018 Model 3 has one of those. if anyone knows how to turn it on, please let me know.
