I’m currently leasing both an i4 eDrive35 (for my mother in law) and EQS 450 4Matic.
The vehicles are night and day; you’ll want to do a test drive and figure out which one suits your style.
The i4 actually feels more cramped than a Tesla Model 3 and everything just kind of closes in around you. The i4 is way more “twitchy” to the extent everything about it feels dialed in to come on super fast. The on-center feel of the steering doesn’t really feel like a BMW… but is responsive. The accelerator and brake feel are super twitchy as well… any bit of brake pedal depression and the car brakes hard. My wife likes ICE BMW’s (usually 3 series) but dislikes the i4 feel. You simply cannot drive the i4 smoothly, but I feel like that’s the design intent.
The EQS is 3x more luxury and refined inside. Way more space, and everything just feels more premium. Everything around driver input just feels slower in the EQS. he steering is very muted, the acceleration comes in slower, and the braking is exceptionally vague. The EQS is tuned to be relaxing and comfortable. You simply cannot drive the EQS in a sporty way, but I feel like that’s the design intent.
Hold my Dos Equis! It’s actually reasonably fast 0-30 which really matters in the city bumper to bumper traffic and with four-wheel steering it’s also quite agile for such a land yacht. Now, this is definitely not a canyon carver or a traditional muscle or sports car. So, pick your battles carefully.
This worked perfectly, I did have to go to a charger further from me because the one closer to me won’t show up in the app no matter how I try searching. Do you have any idea or experience if it will only give me 30 minutes a day or How frequently I can use this method?
Supposed to be 30 minute sessions with 1 hr break between them. Personally, I’ve plugged in multiple times a day with shortest break between sessions of about hour and a half and they did not charge me.
is there such a thing of Mercedes or local dealers having black Friday deals? I’m negotiating with a local dealer but they’re not willing to haggle the monthly payment down and I know they have room. Trying to see if they would be incentivized to move the car on black Friday if it’s a thing at dealerships.
