@@davidmccarthy6061 You are so right. However at least Mercedes knows how to treat their customers when they have issues. Merecedes made a mistake on my C class on their warranty work and they apologized and upgraded my loaner to E class. Tesla on the other hand, they did 0 appologies and I was carless for extra 5 days because of their mistakes. Newest Teslas still have issues with build quality and it's just not worth buying Tesla bearing all these issues. I really do love M3 and believes it's the best car in the segment, but these experiences just kill all the pros.

EQS is the one I would buy/lease. The hatchback version is incredible, checks all the boxes. Alex, I think you need to focus a little more attention on aftermarket support. While folks generally love the Tesla buying experience (except when they double bill you, and don't return your money for months on end), Tesla owners don't like the experience when they have a repair, or get into an accident and need to get their car fixed at a body shop. For ease of repairs, I would buy the MB, you have the nationwide dealer support, and for accidents, your local bodyshop can get you back on the road quickly and efficiently. I recall when TFL had to repair their Tesla and it literally took half a year. If I had to buy a BEV today, and price were of no concern, I would buy an EQS 580. One final though on the DTC BEV brands like Tesla, Lucid, Rivian, what will happen when there is a nationwide recall, how will they handle it (and I don't mean a software/firmware issue, I mean a mechanical issue)
@christopherjones7653
@christopherjones7653 3 жыл бұрын
Tesla, Lucid, Mercedes, and even Rivian are really stepping up the range game in the world of EVs. Only downside I see for these manufacturers are affordability. I understand why the start ups are so high, but when they start making affordable $25,000 - $35,000, they will sacrifice style and performance and so many will be disappointed. These guys are making some marvels of engineering though. I still give them kudos.

The batteries alone cost $20K in most higher-end EVs - and that's manufacturer cost. You cannot get and never will be able to find a 100kw battery in anything under 50K, no matter how mainstream they become. This is why the actual future in 50 or 100 years will likely be fuel cells which can potentially be built for a few thousand dollars at that time and offer decent ranges.

Base Model S starts at $94,990, not $88,740. Plaid starts at $130,000, not $122,740. Looks like you're using the price Tesla shows by default, the price after savings, with California selected as your state. No, that's not confusing at all Tesla... I've actually seen quite a few car reviewers misstate the price because of that. Your EQS prices didn't include the $7500 tax credit either.

👏👏👏 Absolutely excellent review and aside from motortrend, the only full review of the 580 as of yet in the US press. Thankfully, also a very neutral point of view as usual, kudos Alex. Just one question, I think there is an additional regen mode, auto regen, which varies the regen from full to none depending on nav data, however, that may be an european only feature. Again thanks for the very finest review on the net. I'm waiting for my selenite magno 580 exclusive to arrive.I was lucky to pull the trigger a few weeks ago and find an allocation at my local dealer. I have no idea when it will be delivered but hoping early next year. At this time they are very hard to oder if you can find one to order at all. Ill be sad to see my E43 go but Ive been looking for an EV that I can use in my corner of the world without range anxiety and from a manufacturer that truly knows how to make a car and the EQS finally fit the ticket.

Nice presentation. You mentioned that you would buy EQS , I ordered it since a month already. Some people are not happy with the exterior design. I think it is Ok for an EV and the interior is the place to stay, I am more interested in myself comfort and not in the opinion of those from the street. Compared with Tesla EQS is however a car taking the tradition into the future and I love cars more than computers. I think it is better to build the new technologies around a car than around a computer acting as a car. Here is the strength of Mercedes approach based on solid background in the car industry. There are many people loving Tesla and Tesla stories and always will be such people. But clearly the competition will take a good slice of the market because the people are very different. For exemple for me the Tesla tablet and software were not enough to compensate the design, quality and modest interior. Surely there are others like me and this is visible in the number of EQS sold in only a few months. Probably for the next 4 years EQS will still be a valid proposal. After, we shall see.

actually i believe that the center and passenger screens are OLED and only the driver's is LCD. i think this is due to viewing angle limitations of LCD screens. unfortunately OLED has brightness limitation which makes reflections a big problem.

All of those screens look awesome but I imagine there would be quite a bit of glare from the sun at certain angles. First thing I'd do is black out that gigantic star in the grill. =P If money was no object I'd definitely go for the Taycan, I love the design etc.

I had an S550 & the dealer told me that when the warranty was close to expiration to trade it in or sell it. Any repair beyond warranty would be prohibitive. I hope they have changed their longevity philosophy.

Nope. The hood can be opened at the dealership. Essentially anything that has to do with service besides adding wiperfluid and changing minor fuses is not owner accesible. It makes sense, there really isn't any maintenance to do! If the motors and/or batteries ever need work those portions can be "dropped".

I'll be the first one to give Tesla a loud ovation for their pushing the industry into EVs but I'll also be the first one to question the value proposition. Tesla's fit and finish, software reliability and phantom braking , are simply unacceptable for the price of their cars. Tesla reminds me of typical Silicon Valley computer companies, shove the product out the door in the name of first to market and for gadget marketing purposes but don't put customer's frustrations into consideration. I still remember the 80s and 90s when American cars' fit and finish and reliability put them into existential threat and were chewed out but Tesla is getting a lot of benefits of doubts with their problems.
