I have sold my Tesla Model X after using it for three years, Now i have the EQS 580 ❤ I really love it soo much more than Tesla X. You mentioned that regenerative braking doesn't stop in EQS !! this information is not correct you just need to go to the setting and disable the Creep mode and the car will stop completely when braking. The cup holder at the back set is there you just need to press it one more time and it will come out . Range in EQS is 600 to 650 km , i don't know from where you got your data ?!! . Don't understand me wrong , i love Tesla but after using EQS for one year ukposts.info/have/v-deo/mnpleaWLp4h-knk.html i can say it is better than Tesla in many things. One of the thing i hated in My Tesla was the Falcon Wings doors, it is really dangerous for Children, it bumped my head several times and my mother too, it is not a practical doors, you have to be careful every time some one enter the car. the Range was 400Km 👎 the cargo space is good when folding the back sets but if you brake !!! all the staff and the grocery will fly to you to the front set !!!. the HEPA filter in Tesla is not good as the EQS.

We’ve owned two Tesla model S since 2017. Tesla really isn’t a luxury car like Mercedes. Therefore, we have the EQS 580 for 2nd home. There’s a lot to love about MB such as hyperscreen that spans entire dashboard. Rear wheel steering provides a very short turning radius and bird’s eye camera makes parking very easy avoiding curb rash. Massage, sunroof, ambient lighting, quietness, pillows, & fragrance really pampers all occupants. My sedan is getting 375-400 mi range and one pedal driving is almost as good as Tesla. Adaptive cruise control is better than Tesla with lane changing as standard. On the negative side, I hate the start/stop button and there’s no walk away auto locking. Lack of a frunk is disappointing. DC fast charging is only 200 kW and AC charging only 9.6 kW.

@MsAjax409 9 місяців тому
Thanks for the review, Kim. For $107K there are too many disappointments. Mercedes clearly has loaded the car with WOW features in order to make up for the lack of what make it a really desirable car. My first disappointment is having to purchase through a Mercedes dealership. (Ugh!) 285 mile range is a non-started for road trips which is strange since it is a very quiet riding car. CCS charging network dependency is also a big negative for road trips. They also put the charge port on the wrong side for future access to Tesla Superchargers. No frunk and small cargo volume tells me the EQS is an ICE crossover (not a clean slate design) A start button is an indication of non-integrated electronics. Portrait screen is not optimal for real-time information display. Lack of tech features like camping mode, sentry mode, Navigate on Autopilot, internet, games, FSD, etc. Some people will be attracted by the heightened sense of luxury, and you can call me a snob, but to my way of thinking, a car without a built in chauffeur is not a luxury automobile.

I know it’s an EV comparison but for me the question that should be asked is EQS vs GLS. The Model X is simply the better EV, the EQS is the better luxury car. But at that price is being an OK very expensive electric (EQS) better than being a Great ICE vehicle (GLS)? Ultimately I think the EQS in the next 3-5 years will be an amazing choice for both luxury AND Ev needs.

For me its not a real comparison - the EQS much higher quality and superior in any way - except if you need the Tesla charging network (which will Mercedes use now as well), which would be a deciding factor for me. Since I live in Europe with a good CCS network - it's not a deal breaker for me. The EQS is a luxury car- the X is an appliance and people mover, for what it is - the X is way too expensive.

Very disappointed in FSD. 11.4.4 sucks. The fact that you can never call anyone. When I started with Tesla I had the numbers and contact info for the head of service and Battery development. Now I can’t talk to someone in Reception at a local service center.

The EQS is the superior car. Feel free to like the tesla, but it is objectively worse. Built quality, cabin noise, service is all better. Subjectively (for me) the EQS is a luxury car, the Tesla X is what some think a luxury car is. Nitpicking but the "pen holder" is a cup holder, double press to extend it. There is a sub-trunk.
@williamlee1094 9 місяців тому
The app of Tesla is better. You can’t start the EQS with the MB app. With Tesla app, you can drive even without the fob (key on MB version, you must have the key to start your eqs). You can open your home garage with the Tesla app. But not MB app.
@Paul-sd8vk 9 місяців тому
Incorrect. I have had someone pick up my EQS for me without a key
@nas4apps 8 місяців тому
Cool, in reality the MB goes a lot further on a charge (check Kyle's test) than EPA, a lot further.

20:37 Because there are many not so attentive people on this world and having a car turn on simply when you get in might result in some issues. In addition, not everytime you get into the car you would actually want to drive it somewhere.

Shame they don't sell the RHD MX in UK anymore, I need to replace my MS so I guess the EQS would be the way to go...

Ambient lighting takes away from your night vision in a big way. Especially that one. As cool as it looks I’d never have it on. I don’t even use the tesla one.
@Paul-sd8vk 9 місяців тому
That is simply not true. You adjust each zone to the brightness you like, and it is not even close to distracting. Only someone who has not driven an eqs at night would suggest that

i just got my Model X a week ago, and what i noticed is the wind noise on the highway... on side streets the model x is quiet.. but, as soon as i go on the highway and go to 60-70 miles per hour, there is significant wind noise... i guess my Tesla was not well insulated for high speed driving... i wonder if this is something Tesla can fix ....
@cheappc Місяць тому
Yup - I agree I think they sell insulating stick on foam - but that sucks man - too much noise on my x at highway speeds

The lighting is a bit much , eye candy but reminds me of the Las Vegas strip … #tacky I’m sure the build finish quality is superb however the lack of dedicated charge network (until NACS) and the poor space utilization in the merc are a bummer … for the Tesla …. I prefer the Scandi design … build quality (specifically the falcon doors) can still be an issue … I can’t imagine merc keeping up with software updates so their UI likely will remain as is … the dealer purchase model with merc is deal breaker for me too

Great review! If you turn off the creep function the car will come to a complete stop without hitting the breaks on strong recuperation. If you give the back seat pen holder a second light push it will slide all the way out into a cup holder.

Live in Europe (The Netherlands) and totally don't understand why the non Tesla charging stations do not choose and make their systems work very competitive. Amazing, all the technology is available so it all boils down to a rather annoying level of mismanagement. But that was the situation a few years ago, amazed that it still exists. Of course: The Netherlands, besides city states it doesn't get more densely populated. So there is a very high charger density: world's highest. Lots of destination charging, streetside charging and high speed charging. Even gss stations have very high power chargers ar their (major-) gas stations: Shell, BP, etc. They all work otherwise they would go out of business! Probably in the vast US, a competitive threshold needs to pass? Here, local municipalities also work hard to facilitate public street charging: Park and charge while shopping or visiting ... How could this not work? Maybe do a show where you really interview grid managers and real people from the electricity distribution industry. Why not get to the bottom of this? -- US citizen in Europe ...

Ahh, the EQS 450 is nice and so much superior to the Tesla - but wait you really need to review the EQS 580. There is no comparison there, night and day - Mercedes quality and luxury outstrip Tesla. Charging, I have no problem charging my 580 at Electrified America (EA), I took a trip from Phoenix to Charlotte North Carolina and had no issue charging (great network). I saw several Tesla charging on EA even though there was a Tesla charging station not more than 5 miles away (?). Best though the trip was free as Mercedes gives you 2 years of free charging (with 30 minute sessions). Another differentiator - Hyper screen, it's awesome, one screen across the entire dash, look beautiful. O can go on and on, love my EQS 580!

I am warning you all. Please do not buy this car based on its outside beauty. They do not have spare parts in stock for this vehicle. If something bad like an electrical part is not working or some minor accident happens, you may keep your vehicle for months in workshops. My vehicle has been sitting in a workshop for the past 60 days since they do not have a spare part, and the funny thing is they do not have an ETA for that. I have knocked on all the doors and even wrote a letter to the CEO MB. They do not have customer sympathy; eventually, we will waste our hard-earned money. German company does not care about Americans. I suggest buying a TESLA even though they have issues with the car is better. They are customer friendly modern company.

As an owner of each, I was bemused by the early comment that if you want tech by the X and luxury buy the EQS. Thats just wrong. The EQS has way more tech than the tesla. The autopilot, wipers, handling, parking camera’s, voice system, headlights are all vastly superior in the eqs. The ambiant lighting is a fantastic as a safery feature. Open your door with a car coming behind you and watch the alerts. As for range…if you are a user like me with days between drives, the eqs has far more range than the x. The x looses so mich power just when just sitting around.
@alittlebitmoore 9 місяців тому
Does the EQS need regular servicing ? I may be cynical but Old schoolCar manufacturers are likely to nail you after you buy it with expensive servicing as they have done for decades. No servicing is still one of the many things I love about my Teslas.
@ChinoBingo 9 місяців тому
Being a R1S owner and have driven Model X, I prefer R1S more. R1S & MX are more practical for family with kids where EQS SUV is more for adults. Level-3 autonomy, HUD, rear wheel turning, ambient light, massage option and quiet cabin are basically new hallmark of Mercedes Benz brand.

Unless you love dealing with dealerships, Tesla all the way. The dealerships will find ways to make the maintenance of EQS comparable to ICE, if not most likely more.

Tesla called me and sold me the car. I picked it up in a dirty dusty transport yard, and do at least 5 trips each year to the big stinking hot tin shed (with zero bathroom facilities) to fix tesla issues. I get updates almost weekly to fix tesla’s last updates, and I cannot actually call anyone to discuss how the regular warranty repairs are going on the failure proned car. Yep, I’ll take the accountable dealership back. Over the tesla stupidity.

So you’re telling us you’ve never had a better car? I drove a 2018 Raptor in high school, back then i thought it was the best thing in the world until I got my hands on a GLS580 in sophomore year of college. Two months ago i went back to Shanghai and rode in my dad’s Maybach.. all i can say is you need to experience different things to enjoy life instead of living in a bubble

The high-end EQS would really get spanked by the high-end Model X (the Plaid version). We added "Tesla" puddle LEDs for about 10 bucks. All that ambient lighting is pretty annoying. I get the feel and quiet of the Benz but I'm not a fan of the front end. You didn't mention it but I believe owners are locked out of the hood area of the EQS, period. And Benz does require "service".
@sevenkontinents5978 8 місяців тому
Although I have range anxiety but I have been considering going EV. I am Mercedes Benz, only buyer/driver, NACS is what I've been waiting for. Next year, I will be getting the EQS 580. I have to decide between the sedan and the SUV. Tesla may have created the EV revolution, but I think the legacy manufacturers will not only catch up, but they will eat away Tesla market share. Tesla knows this, which is why they are allowing other manufacturers to share their network. The real revenue will be in the charging. Imagine if ExxonMobil made cars and distributes specialty gas at their gas stations. Which is more profitable, ExxonMobil or GM?

Good review. You are testing the lowest level EQS SUV. No Hyperscreen, and the worst looking body kit available. I own the EQE and EQE SUV (Wife's) at the level you reviewed because that is what I wanted. With that said it makes the comparison very one sided and not completely accurate. It is a fun conversation though. My Sister-in-law has a Model Y and it is what made me go electric. Also double tap the rear cup holder so it comes all the way out.

Why the hell you have the huge seat buttons on the door? how often do you change your seating position? Any feature you use once every month should be done digitally as a profile setting.
