Just had my AMG EQE suspension fail on me. Dealership noted undercarriage damage and now it goes to insurance… Remind me to never get a sedan in california again. No wonder insurances are 30% higher for the EQE sedan vs suv.
Time to get a CPO Porsche Taycan 
Bro don’t say that! I just picked up my EQE sedan today. Although mine is just the 350 4matic. Does the AMG come with air suspension?
It comes with air suspension standard, but the potholes in Bay Area is so bad. SUV just makes so much sense now.
Here’s hoping EV g wagon will lease for $500 a month come December.
Wifey EQE SUV hit pothole/manhole and bent 3 AMG wheels last year. Insurance replaced them with bill of $7k. SUV or Sedan, these EVs are so fragile even for city streets 
Wow it’s 7k for just 3 wheels? We had 1 AMG wheel rim replaced previously and it’s just 600 for rim and 600 for the tire.
Dont blame the street, blame the big wheels 
. 17-19 inches wheels should be the standard. The trends for bigger & bigger wheels especially for suv is so stupid. I prefer comfort instead of looks.
Yeah 21inch AMG, MSRP is like $2200 pretax each, plus balancing + alignment. No tires were damage.
Well, it’s still pretty comfortable ride even with 21 inch and no air suspension. Everyone preference is different. Plus, I wasn’t blaming the streets, as they are always bad in Socal anyway LOL
Mine is 21 inch AMG as well Y spoke, it’s only 6-700 each at least in US. 2.2k each is insane.
Yeah I know it’s stupid. If it wasn’t a lease, I could get a really nice set of Vossen for <$2k. Look way better than the original wheels.
Maybe I should just lease an ioniq next 
, actually even ioniq is 18 inches+…
Get the new XRT trim, it has 18 inch all terrain tires and something like a 0.9 inch lift too 
Hi Guys - Looking for some advice on a cracked windshield for a 24’ EQS450 sedan with 300 miles and 2 days driving on it. No road hazard impact that I’m aware of so that’s why I’m wondering if it’s reasonable to consider manufacturer defect. There is no discernable impact point visually or physically when I run my finger along the crack damage.
I’ve taken the car to two MB dealerships for their opinion. One couldn’t find an impact point, and the other pointed to a point in the center of the close-up image. That point is a little “whiter” like a chip point, but it seems its from the underside of the glass visually, and by touch, there’s no divot feel.
Anyway, thanks for any offered advisement. I understand it’s my responsibility and problem even if it’s not my fault. Appreciate it
It’s hard to tell from the images but you could try contacting MB corporate since you’ve already been to the dealers.
Separate but related, the dealer I got mine from tried to sell me insurance to prioritize windshield replacement because MB was apparently having issues stocking them last year. I don’t know if they are still having issues but you may run into a wait for the windshield.
Most of the time the manufacturer will fight it and claim it as damage. I had something similar with one of my previous Porsche’s. I never noticed any impact while driving, and couldn’t find anything on the crack that looked like impact. They wouldn’t cover it.
Try running a ballpoint pen along the crack, may help discover any potential impact marks. Is that one there?
Yes, potentially. But its similar to the other potentially point. It’s “whiter” so it looks like it may be an impact point, but there is no divot upon touch and the white is more on the underside.
Also, that spot is really deep under the hood. Basically at a point that is mostly covered by the wiper too, when the wiper isn’t pulled up like I have for the photos. I guess anything can happen, but that’d be a fairly physics defying rock to make that southern turn below the hood lip and around the wiper.
I appreciate the insight. I’m going to see if MB corporate will consider my case but I’m going in with the reality that it’s likely going to be an insurance claim in the end.
The MB shop said windshields are about 7-10 days to arrive upon order.
Yeah it sucks, but I’d plan on it being an insurance claim…especially if there are white points. My instance had no white marks, chips, nothing. Just a clean, clear, small crack that ran about 5-6”.
I just PPF’d my E53 windshield today. I have worst luck on windshields.
You are probably stuck with the bill on this one sadly. My GLE63s windshield was like $2800 installed.
