[@Verknechter]

On the one hand it gives me faith in German car industry again, because it’s a great EV with very very nice interior and just the right tech to make it interesting. Separates it from Tesla and Chinese competition in a premium way. But as a petrol head and owner of a Fiesta ST I would just miss the simplicity and involvement of oldschool ICE cars. There is just too much going on.

[@hasangenc2922]

Couldn't have said it better, EVs are preparing people for an autonomous future. A future without driving.

[@Grand_Priest_Goku]

if it makes you feel better, once AC motors become the norm, peak power only happens at redline, so multi-speed transmissions will most-likely be needed. You'll still get your involvement.

[@davidhocevar8510]

like people can afford this, tires here are worth more than your fiesta st...

[@zakzwijn8410]

What do you mean with simplicity? ICE cars are technically far more complicated than EV's. But yeah, EV's are more complex software wise.

[@Verknechter]

@@zakzwijn8410 Thought about this myself after writing my comment. And you are right, EVs can be more simple mechanically. Like an Renault Twizy for example (which can be a lot of fun). An E-Kart can also be fun. But what makes driving fun and engaging? This car is so big, heavy and comfortable and full of tech it encapsulates you too far away from basic driving experience and the elements. And because it is this way, it needs tech like fake sounddesign inside out, rev counter style gauges, flashy animations, rear wheel steering and ridiculous power to make it somewhat interesting to drive and to get around its size/weight flaws. Why not just let the car drive it self while playing racing games on VR where everything is fake? The illusion is still not good enough to substitute real engine sound, a mechanical gear shift. But yes modern ICE cars also suffer from this too because of more safety + environment regulations and the need for more luxury and tech. So maybe by simplicity i mean less stuff that i don't need or want to have fun while driving. But maybe that is also the reason i also drive motorbike. Its the essence of this. 🙂

And at the same time they make 7-liter diesel engines, and they don't give a shit about the environment. Money decides everything, they took Europe (their main competitor) out of the equation, moved most of the production to their country...Nobody gave a shit about these electric cars. It's a totally inconvenient alternative to the internal combustion engine. 200km drive, 10 hours to charge. Another toy for the rich, at least for the moment. The world is not ready for it yet

[@Stryker4Real]

@@_elChapo Bro I literally live in a 3rd world country and we have Fast Charges in almost every big city that can charge an electric car 0-80% in just 30 minutes. And since my country is so underdeveloped with electric cars, most supermarkets offer free 0-80% fast charge just to make your weekly shoppings at their stores. (Basically u scan the receipt at the charger and boom, free) Let’s be serious, the EVs are going places and it really is a good money investment. No oil changes, no intakes to clean, no turbos that could break down in half and u’d spend a fortune to repair. And most electric cars come with a 8 year warranty on the battery. I believe u can get a 5 year car warranty + an 8 year battery warranty at the same time, so if u buy a brand new car, for at least 5 years u won’t need to do anything other than changing the brakes. Seems like a good deal

[@carloandfamily5051]

So many people, so many opinions. I am pleased to have owned this car (including the performance package) for 3 months now. Before this, I drove a GT 53 AMG GT 4-door coupe. I still have it but it's definitely up for sale. I do agree that it looks better on the outside compared to the EQS. But trust me when I say I will never go back to a gasoline car. 761 horsepower with over 1000 Nm of torque. It certainly drives less sporty but how often do you do that on public roads anyway? Adding a bit of gas for an overtaking maneuver on the highway with this power is addictive. To be honest, it's actually quite strange that you have so much power available and can drive it with a regular driver's license. The reason I went for a 53 GT and not a V8 is because I don't want to constantly hear the noise from that engine. I also just like to listen to music without hearing the engine noise over it. With the GT, I could choose with a switch whether I want to activate that extra bit or not. Once you're in the EQS, you don't see the outside anymore, and the interior of this EQS with Hyperscreen makes up for everything. Add to that the comfort of the lovely seats and amazing audio sound, and you drive all day with a smile on your face. I do admit that I miss a bit that people give you a thumbs up, which I had with the 4-door GT.

[@zakzwijn8410]

I like this hyperscreen. It's amazing, and far better than an integrated or standing monitor.

[@Rumblingbelly]

Have to agree. Electric cars do not need to look this bad, just look at Porsche Taycans. And why is this so slow too?

[@timonxDlol]

I think the designers are not the problem. Look at the EQS concept - that‘s what they wanted. It‘s the business guys and engineers that then fuckednup that concept design into something that is nothing but aerodynamic. If you look at the Taycan it is soo close to the concept and I think Porsche values the designers a lot more and tries to make the design happen and doesn‘t force them to compromise so much. So don‘t fire the designers, but the business guys who do not give the designers any room to design something beautiful

[@subhaanbaseer5101]

They’re just forging their way into the EV future. This is a learning curve for everyone really, it’s like learning how to design a new car from scratch. Give this period of ‘EV entry’ more time and watch the development. Let’s not criticise too much yet. There’s still lots to be discovered.

[@quelandil5738]

I understand that u dont like the design. But what do you have to criticize about the powertrain?

@quelandil5738 Everything... not just this eqs but Mercedes of recently have gone from given us amazing legendary power plants like the M156 6.2 or m176 4.0 twin turbo... to the joke, which is the new c63.. with its stupidly complicated hybrid system... just compare that to the G80. It's not even in the same league... a G80 With a stage 2 tune would destroy it... probably destroy it standard in all honesty. And even that gt63s e performance... which is a terrible package to... it was destroyed by a m5 competition which was significantly underpowered... Mercedes have completely lost their way... they give us a 2.0 c63 a car many bought solely for the engine and sound... and a 4.0 v8 sclass ? With almost 800hp ? When did anyone buy a sclass for its sound ? From the original c63... to this current crop of disappointments is night and day... and the includes all the eqs models that look awful to match the mediocre performance The one car that is a saving grace is the sl63

[@Nollekeuh]

This car tells me that AMG does not have a clue what to do with the electric vehicles from Mercedes, it is totally not in their DNA. Basically just an EQS with some different styling options.
