Anybody know if there are changes to incentives from MBFS for March?
We will know Thursday or Friday usually will release 2nd or 3rd of the month

Not sure if there are changes on the EQS but can confirm lease support for 2022 continues in March. Let the games continue.
Lol is it really that bad? And if so, would it be wrong to assume the SUV is just as bad?
why was it awful lol?
My dad likes it, thatās all that matters in my book.

@Dany1122 I was typing this when you posted your question.
Here goes:
It certainly isnāt a $100,000 car, or even a $500 a month car IMO.
The rear visibility is atrocious. Handling doesnāt surpass āokay.ā
The brakes are spongy (only drove it in Sport mode). Acceleration is pitiful.
The map on the center screen is fantastic, but the rest of that panel has a trillion options, few of which are intuitive. In an obvious attempt to compensate, the steering wheel has 4,108 buttons.
The voice commands failed to respond as directed 2 out of every 3 times. Sales guy had the same problem.
The feel and sound of the driverās door closing was on par with our old 2010 Prius.
The synthetic engine noises are what people in the 1950s thought robots would sound like, and neither I nor my EQS sherpa from the dealership could figure out how to turn them off.
Thatās off the top of my head.

1/3 works more than our volvo 
, but dad is still getting used to MBUX, he doesnāt love it. Iāll go drive one and report back on my thoughts, lol.

Is the SUV that much better or is the car you drove a shit example? Our SUV feels rock solid. Doors have a solid thud.
Agree MBUX is a dumpster fire, have had it crash a few times when we mess around in the menus, and isnāt as easy to use as idrive. Voice commands are borderline useless, never can get an address right. I thought they would have figured it out by now.
Range rover sport has a nice door close thud

The EQS as a small appliance sale.
MSRP $111K
SALE: $20,000 OFF
INSTANT REBATE: $12,000 OFF
PAY AS YOU GO and LOW INTEREST RATE.

Iām not an SUV person, so I didnāt take the time to compare.
My MB frame of reference is my old E500 (that was a few cars ago), and this wasnāt in the same galaxy.
Iām not exaggerating when I say that I thought āPriusā when I closed the door.
If I hadnāt been driving Iām sure I could have figured it out.
I was too preoccupied with it barely responding when I stomped on the accelerator, and trying to figure out why my constant verbal pleas wouldnāt turn off the steering wheel and seat heaters.
My 
and my 
were on 
and no one could do anything about it.

I completely disagree on handling part. It is not track car, but steering is precise.
on purpose. so that you can stick your head out the window and say, āLook, Iām a unicornā while you put a brick on the gas.

By handling I meant cornering (āfunā around corners).
My frame of reference on this for an EV is a Taycan 4S, which is in a completely different league (but has a similar base MSRP).
And this car was a candidate to replace my M550, and in the handling category it would be a major compromise (amid a sea of other major compromises).
I know the EQS isnāt designed to appeal to the identical audience; Iām looking at this through the lens of my own priorities, and what Iād be willing to give up in exchange for a cheap lease.
Iāve seen 5.9 seconds cited elsewhere, and it feels even more lethargic than that.
