Mercedes Benz EQS Lease Superthread - 2

Will you get a discount on the funeral if you have their logos on your coffin?

You can get a loyalty discount if you ground your lease early.

How far under do you need to be? I hear MBZ is quite demanding with their ground rules.

Are free wall boxes over now, or can I get a third one ?

Try to put your vin here.

Doesn’t work, why I am asking. Other 2 leases had same issue but eventually worked. This lease is about 2 weeks old. I know this worked for MY23s. MY25s have a choice of limited free EA or wallbox. Do my24s not have wall box at all ?

Yes. Turned mine in 10 months early go get a new one. They waved 5 months and I owed the rest. Made sense as my new one was a crazy low monthly so I still came out way ahead by eating payments.

@JSmith is asking if doing the super early pull-ahead would make him qualify for the loyalty rebate as well, which I don’t the it does. Even for your deal, you qualified for the Reignite via a different vehicle and not your turned-in EQS.

Yeah, I took inspiration from @amaximeya on his deal but realized after it used reignite not loyalty. Loyalty dates are set and local dealers with inventory are not budging. I’m in a similar situation where I’ll have to replace another set of tires and most likely brakes by the end of my lease so trying to get out as early as possible.

Tires is a given, brakes too?

In my case, yes. They were at 6-7mm a while back.

Recently discussed rear EQS brake pad wear with the lead tech at my MB dealer. He measured out a new set of rear pads at 8mm. At 53K miles my rear brake pads are at 5.5mm down from 6mm at 43K miles. If you need brakes under 50K miles something is wrong.

As to why the rear wears faster, I’ve read that using Lane Keep Assist and Active Steering features results in excessive wear on the rear pads. Turning off these features is supposed to help. I don’t care for LKA, but AS is a must-have. If they do need to be replaced, the rear pad set is around $220.

The link says I’m eligible. If I accept, do I lose my EA credit?

For MY25, all I know is from here : Electric Vehicle Charging Resources | Mercedes-Benz USA

It says you make the choice at time of purchase.

In the attached PDF, it says that you get $1k applied to your meCharge account via ChargePoint. I’m guessing you just see it in your ChargePoint balance. If you have this already, I doubt they are going to take it back if you request the WallBox, but who knows.

Surprising to me, it say the $1k is not for EA only, but all CPOs in meCharge network.

These things charge like a beast. Such a flat curve. Peaked at 210 kW and stayed close to it from 8% up to 80%.

Hey everyone, I’m on the hunt for Mercedes loaners. Do dealers list them on cars.com or similar platforms? I’m hoping to lease an EQS sedan or SUV soon and keep my monthly payments under $700, excluding taxes, with no down payment. Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Mercedes of Colorado Springs had a bunch of demo/loaners recently for their EQ line. It may be worth looking at their webite to see current inventory and initial posted discounts.

Thank you!

I use autotrader. If you want to find demos I search for cars with only a few thousand miles on them

MY24 EQ’s all came with a flex charger (does level 1 and 2 with included adapters) and 24 months of free EA charging
