Mercedes Benz EQS Lease Superthread - 1

Yes I hope so hehe.

Anyone know how to make this overhead view the default camera view? I tried ”saving” it using the menu button on the far right, but every time I reactivate the cameras, it continues defaulting to the shitty over-the-shoulder fish eye distortion view.

When I try to resave it, it says that angle is already saved. No idea where it saves or how to access it in order to select it as default view.

Thanks! I am not sure how the fleet and dealer incentives stacked. Never heard the Fleet (12K) and Dealer (10K ) stacking up. I am glad it worked out for him.

IMO the view you want is after clicking this orb (available when viewing rear bumper or front bumper cam)

It basically gives you a proximity-only little car-shape-icon, and you basically park to get as close to the wall as you can with the camera.

I think Mercedes assumed people with EQS had bigger garages. Or were going to live out of their car like @anon65069371 and @HersheySweet

:rofl::rofl: I freaking had to go home and pull out the measuring tape to make sure I had room for the EQS before I started the process. I BARLEY cleared the space required and I don’t have a small garage either.

lol you’ll be broke when it comes time to replace all the tires on your bargain EQS’s.

Tires cost more than your lease.

Dare I ask what it costs for 4 new tires?

Bless. Will look at this view next time I am sitting in the garage basking in the comfort of my parked rocketship

IMO @derekoh1991 can help answer that one. He had his EQS 450+ on a 12 month lease and I don’t know if he made it to term with 5/32 left.

Imma guess $1,200 for 4 new tires since this is a German car and you will get hit with the baller-tax.

You know the saying… if you can’t afford two Porsches then you can’t afford one Porsche? I think these expensive German cars were engineered with serious hidden costs buried within.

I got me some $69 Chinese tires, I wanted to get something on par with EQS quality

are tires the only maintenance needed for these since it’s an EV? Are you all budgeting anything else over the 3 years of the lease?

nice wow wow wee wow GIF

Try double at nearly $500/ tire for 21" plus tax plus alignment.

I got 4 used Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 275/40/22 8.5/32 for $550 total, including shipping + tax. Discount tire will mount them for $22 per tire + tax

Brakes, some people have had theirs replaced early like 10K miles - dealer may or may not cover them. I drive mine on strong recuperation/regen but my conclusion is the car is still using mechanical brakes, seeing a lot of dust on the wheels.

$300 each would be a huge bargain. Would be at least $500 each. It’s nothing to do with German but size of the tires. My Model X tire replacement was 1.8k for 4 as well and it’s a crappy American car.

I wonder if @djrabbi will even get 5,000 miles on the tires for his AMG EQS.

13 month leases seem like the way to go then. Turn it in before the tires hit 5/32!
