Mercedes Benz EQS Lease Superthread - 2

North Olmsted couldn’t even come close to hacker worthy deals when I dealt with them a few months ago

Second that. I talked with them and even went in-person and couldn’t get anywhere close to what is @oarfish18 has listed with new vehicles in Walnut Creek, CA.

I didn’t get far with them either. Perhaps they’re content with current business coming in from their huge social media presence of their GM.

Just posted on the meme thread the tiktok where they refuse to heavily discount these because they “feel” they shouldn’t lease so cheap.

in order to maintain future expectations of customers.

Has anyone hacked one of the EQSs? Buy a new hearse on basis Mercedes-Benz EQE?

New challenge for @djrabbi

I wanna be carried out in this lol

Will MBFS stop lease support for 2024 models? or continue since there is no 2026 model yet?

Did anyone try to charge EQS in a Tesla charger. I tried mine, last week. It works well, but slower than EA chargers. The charging speed was 80 kw/hr. I bought the adapter from nearby Mercedes dealer. The Tesla charging station was pretty new (constructed last year). I don’t know why the charging is slow.

At what percentage did you start charging?

You and @LAK1ngs going out in style

I started about 30%

That is slow.

I wonder if Tesla is somehow restricting the charge due to the charging curve of the cars.

For me on Level 2 chargers, EQS charges slower than Tesla cars. Coworkers at work get 30+ miles added per hour while the EQS barely breaks 20 miles per hour added.

Just a wild guess on my part though.

As you know Tesla overestimate the driving range, whereas eqs is pretty conservative.

Really depends on an EQS model and driving conditions. Yes, conservative at steady 40-70 mph. My AMG is wildly optimistic when most of my driving is local hillsides. My 450+ was a bit better but pulling 6,000 lbs uphill will kill the range and going same distance downhill won’t help to offset it.

I just tried one so I had it figured out before i actually take a trip and need to use one. I had gotten the official MB adapter thrown in with lease. I got way faster speeds than i did at EA and it seemed to go at a higher rate closer to 100%. I started about 60% and got up to 140kwh and about 80kwh at 90%, it dropped rapidly to 40kwn at 95%. I have to say i got a few dirty looks from some tesla drivers, like i was taking their spot.

You’re right but I was talking about charging speeds not range.

If the battery catches fire while you’re in it, then this EQE doubles as a cremation oven.

And got paid by Benz :joy:

Has anyone turned in their lease early as part of the loyalty incentive? Dealers are saying I can’t turn in early and pay the difference of months remaining since lease has to be maturing by Sept 2025 (mine matures in February 2026).
