Mercedes EQS 450+ -- $749/mo ~$3k upfront (tax, fees) -- 36/7,500 --

Isnt it maxed at like 170 or so? Thats how fast ours goes on a 350 charger.

450+ is supposed to have a 200kw charger onboard, but of course real world speed should be lower.

Kyle’s vids are very informative, love the channel. He actually has an Etron Prestige as a personal car. I’m sure once it warms up here in NE region you’ll see some good charging sessions. Your battery has to be warm enough to take max charge. Taycans and Tesla are good like that, if you set your car’s nav to a charging point, it will precondition the battery few miles before you reach the charger. Anything over 100kw is OK, for day to day use. EQS is a cruiser, if you can drive over 200 miles without stoping and plug in a warm car it will get a good session in the time it takes to take a bathroom break and a cup of joe.

I know I am in the minority…but Im starting to think that this is a good looking car!

The looks are good. But once you are inside and driving it is underwhelming for the price point.

Def a cool feature…Ive rarely SC’ed the Tesla, but when I have it was cool to see the car plan ahead while driving there such that the charging session would be as fast as possible. I think mine will only charge at 170 kW rate max though.

That does seem to be a common sentiment from the reports Ive read (having not driving one myself).

Him and Bjorn are my two favorite EV review channels.

We’ll put it through it’s paces. Sidenote, my Costco credit card now has 4% cashback on EV charging up to $7000, so hacks on hacks on hacks.

I’ve heard it called “pond rock” lol Car is long but seem bit narrow for my taste.

Good to know. I should change my payment method once I use up the mountain of EA credits that I have accumulated from my previous flips.

It’s an epic deal nonetheless!
