Those tires are super wide from the camera angle when you stopped to look under the car. That drive looked amazing. It had it all.

[@tightsvoyeur]

Always an informative pleasure to listen and watch Bjørn. Glædelig Påske 😊

[@thenetworkarchitectchannel]

Sorry 4 your accident. Animals and road debris are the things that scare me most. Rarely are driver reactions sufficient. Glad you are okay. Car looked sweet. thx for the vid. I enjoyed watching.

[@ouch1011]

Good job not swerving to avoid the animal. Seems to be a default reaction for so many people: they see something in the road and jerk the wheel like crazy, usually resulting in them crashing into another car, landing in a ditch or (in most SUVs) ending up on their roof. Better to run over the animal than crash your car. I’ve seen people crash their cars trying to avoid rodents in the road. (Big animals like moose or deer might be a different story)

[@lambosuperl]

Thanks for the video Bjørn! Would be cool to see the new Model X Dual Motor test in comparison to this 😁

[@Ron-of6np]

Visibillity vest i standard in all MB and is always located in the glove compartment. This is for easy access before you leave the vehicle daytime or nighttime on any road. Sorry for bugs bunny hitting 3tonn luxury car. No chance to survive. Keep up your fantastic car rewiev👍

[@zapp_brannigan]

Hi bjørn, can you please do another Kia EV6 GT-line 1000 km Challenger? The EV6 has an update so now it pre-heats The battery If you Set destination to fast charger so i would love to see how it charges now and how fast it is vs. Last years video when you did The 1000 km Challenger without pre-heating. Thanks and keep doing awesome videos ❤️

[@alanhold2468]

I have always been a bit of a Mecedes fan boy. They always make you feel special. I always carry a head torch in the car for emergencies. See and be seen. Great stuff🙏👊

[@Sanjayadon]

Brilliant video, those charging speeds!✴

[@tobiasforsberg2497]

Only problem is that the car advices you to stop charging to early…..

[@BillB33525]

I've been driving the fat etron Prestige trim for over 3 years. So what if I have to plugin a little sooner than other cars. The drive is so wonderful it doesn't matter. The Germain cars are the best driving experience.

"the first thing you check when hitting an animal is the car" - Bjørn 2023 :D Good thing it wasnt a moose like last time

[@chestodor4161]

You did right by not walking on the motorway to check the rabbit. It is way to dangerous, and the rabbit is 100% dead anyways.

[@wolfenkill]

Would be interesting to see EQS SUV 450 consumption in this test, 23,7 kWh/100km over 200km with snow and surfacewater on the road. 0grc

[@tobiasforsberg2497]

I really think they missed something crucial this time @Mercedes. The car is consistently underestimating how much charging is needed to reach the next destination. That is seriously flawed software and technology. A fancy light show when entering the car does not make up for it. Not everyone is a ninja like Bjørn!

[@nazzarenopisano652]

6:24 I wouldn't eat food you picked up in the restroom. 😂 Great video as always. Sorry about bunny - I felt your pain.

[@DG-uv3zw]

Kilometers added per minutes of charging is actually very bad because of the consumption. RWD version is much more sensible buy...(less consumption)

[@MichaelEricMenk]

11:35: "they might have it in the trunk " According to regulations, the high visibility west must be in reach of the driver. This is so you can take it on BEFORE you exit the viechle...

[@storapa]

Norway only requires that you have a high visibility west. In Sweden (where the accident happened, there is not even any regulation requiring a high visibility west).

[@Valsiphez]

Anytime Bjørn tests fat German SUVs animals are hurt.

[@BaardsenLydogBilde]

Remember using parking lights when stopping along the road! Especially when using the hazard lights. It’s much easier to see the hazard light when approaching a car with parking lights in the front.

[@emmoan]

The digital lights. Can they run doom? 😁

[@godofdun]

13:40, our 5 series with the upgraded seats also has booty massage, but BMW calls it "hip" lol

[@lovethytuber4770]

There better be some easter eggs in the yard tomorrow or else...;)) Amazing car. Would also love to see you test a 450.

I'll buy one next year when it has depreciated 90%, then I'll use it for local shopping trips.

[@josephcullen2512]

Oh shit the poor bunny ran the wrong way. Uuuuhhh 😞😮 Well there is a chance it survived... The speed was much slower by the time the car hit it... Good braking. Hopefully it got away safe

[@peterschimmell3557]

"What the heck is this thing" = Tow hook for towing the car (goes in either front or rear bumper, behind a circular piece of plastic that pops out)

[@ReximPL]

When there will be model x plaid/palladium test?

[@johnm2879]

You have no chance when animals bolt out directly in front of the car. Chipmunks are the worst as they seem to wait until the last possible moment and then charge straight across leaving no time to react daytime or nighttime. You can look for the gleam of their eyes from the headlights but this doesn't always work. Moose don't bother looking because, hey, it is their forest and their road and a moose's rear end has zero reflectivity and the colouring is perfectly camouflaged. Do your best but don't feel guilty if you hit something because sometimes it is absolutely unavoidable.

[@AccountantsRCool]

Yes, totally. I hit a squirrel on my motorbike once. It ran directly under my front wheel. It wasn't a nice feeling (for me or the squirrel).

[@RokinLee]

It’s a horrible feeling.. commiserations Bjorn

[@swedishchefdave49]

a typically entertaining review, I would love that car if it had Tesla software, real luxury with a luxury price, I still desire a Model X but maybe i can save for a model 3

[@sstetsiv]

Now 2024, if there something EV car which can beat the EQS by total points?

[@haanjamiis]

Nice, but the price 🤦‍♂

[@tesla-spectre]

nice result. the Nio ES8 was only between two swap stations, right? then that would to me not be comparable. so it would be the fastest SUV so far.

[@bjornnyland]

The ES8 went back to the same swap station at Lier. It was to simulate how it would look like in the far, far future when/if there are enough swap stations.

[@leotek..]

and in that distant future nio will have gone belly-up long before, i am afraid. the relentless advancement of battery technology will make sure that battery swapping will remain a small minority fad at best.

[@davidmenasco5743]

​@@leotek..Swapping might not take off in the US. But in China, it's already bigger than just a small fad.

[@leotek..]

@@davidmenasco5743 right, it’s not a fad there. in fact, it’s less than a fad. nio’s share of the bev-market in china is maybe 2% and stagnating at best. a nio store rep told me, about half of the buyers opt for battery leasing (swapping). how relevant do you think is battery swapping for the other 98+% of ev drivers in china?

[@fredpnet]

maybe it's the video but the headlights look have better spread than on the EQS 580.

[@brembodream]

[@deanstyles2567]

Are rabbits considered a pest in Norway? Here in Australia they cause untold amount of damage to crops and are widespread. You'd be doing a farmer a favour by hitting a rabbit here.

[@OsteRock]

Most rabbits in Norway live in captivity as pets. Hares live in the wild, but are on the menu of predators like foxes, wolverines, big birds, lynx, wolves and people.

[@sk.43821]

Have you ever tested, if you can tell the car by voice input to charge up to a certain percentage of battery charge level? Is that function available or a must to be added in a 1.9 mln NOK car?

[@williamhoffmann1445]

I can’t do this in my BMW iX3. It seems that the settings software, when adapted from ICE vehicles, wasn’t well modified to take on EV-specific functions.

Not a pure BEV yet but they have plug in hybrids. Jaguar has also been slow, only one BEV model from 2018. Edit: range rover phev has 31kwh usable battery which is big for a phev.
