All those led trims interiors are starting to become gimmicky and ridiculous. Elegance and sportiveness should not turn into a childish design extravaganza
This is just the same approach as with smartphones : 90% of the available features are unknow (hence unused) by the user, but they are available to those who value them. (A bit like our kids that have a smartphone to use it for all kinds of stuff … except for calling …)
Hi Bjorn, some small corrections : * all EQS have the rear spoiler (AMG 53 probably one that is a little bit larger) * screen that shows Power and Torque is not divided between front and rear engine, but between acceleration and deceleration * higher consumption for beefy cars is probably due to difference in tires (typically wider, hence Cx goes down) - are you sure about the tire-info in the table at the end of the video ? (Because the AMG 53 normally comes with 275/40 (or 275/35 if choosen optional rims) - maybe this is different from country tot country ?
Steering error isn't a bug, it's a *feature* How else would they maintain the revenue stream for the workshops? 🤣 You gotta meet those Mercedes people once in awhile
@Bjørn Nyland have you checked out the latest Tesla Software 2022.40.XX? Auto high beam have been improved dramatically! A follow up video to the „Tesla vision fail“ Video would be super interesting.
Really? I got to try a newer Model Y yesterday evening, with 2022.40.4. Still the car waited several seconds to reactivate high beams after passing vehicles in the opposite direction.
The loud sound saying Acoustic Lock is the feature where you want to find your car when you forgot where you parked. Maybe the key was in one of your pockets and triggered the acoustic lock?
Nice videos as always. Can you do a rangetest with for example tesla model 3. From Marcus Bil Original big wheels and wide tires. Then a test with ( if it fits ) 17 inch wheels with normal size 225/45 profile? The profile of course must have the right rolling circumference Must make a difference in rolling resistance and lower consuption Regards from Sweden
Extra weight might be additional press car insulation normal customers won't get. They've been doing that for decades.. Probably varies between different press cars as well.
@@bjornnyland That is objectively wrong - either a willful lie or ignorance. Disprove that the production codes for press cars exist(ed) (The codes are for example 0902 at BMW, 740 at Porsche and funnily enough 911 for Mercedes.) Here a few excerpts from Daimler production sheets: "ROHBAUSEITIG IST AUF ENGE TOLERANZEN (PASSUNGEN UND SPALTMAßE) ZU ACHTEN, RB-AUDIT DURCHFÜHREN. ANSPRECHPARTNER: " "LACKIERUNG SERIENMÄßIG AN DER KAROSSERIE MUSS EIN LACKAUDIT DURCHGEFÜHRT WERDEN. (STEUERCODE:" "DAS FZG. ERHÄLT EINEN LEISTUNGSGEPRÜFTEN MOTOR. MOTOR IST VOM WERK GESONDERT GEKENNZEICHNET ANZULIEFERN."
Nope. These press cars are regular customer cars that are use for press and then sold usually after a few months and 10-20k km to regular customers. If there was some conspiracy like you claim then lots of private persons would notice a difference. And I also test cars from regular people that I borrow from. They are not different than press cars. So your claim is wrong.
@@bjornnyland You can literally google a few of the terms I used in the seemingly shadow banned comment to find people who bought prior press cars. Most of the time it is not visible and almost all of the time it is impossible for somebody who buys a used car every few years to tell the difference. I'll stop now and let you believe whatever you want.
If you buy an EV, range and consumption is the most discussed questions. This version has no use for daily driving. For daily driving the EQS 450+ has all what you need.
I did a road trip in a Mercedes EQB recently.. What I couldnt decide was whether to use the built in SAT NAV and let that calculate the route and charging stops.. or to use Android Auto google maps and pick the stops myself.. or to use ABRP or ZAPMAP (im in UK). Also, if I use Android Auto then will the car pre-heat the battery before a charging stop? ABRP might know about chargers... but does it pick the best route and know about traffic? Also. Is it worth linking ABRP to your car with an OBD or via the app.. And if you do does the car pre-heat before charging stops? Would love to see a video comparing these things.
Absolute bonkers car in specs, however, I don’t like the looks. Too much like a ‘disco’ for me. I like the Tesla’s better. Personal preference of course. Thanks for another cool vid! 😎
"Costs one and a half kidney and one testicle" man the inflation is hitting hard, back in my day you could get rear wheel steering for only 1/3 of a testicle...
Thanks for that video I was wondering to replace my model S plaid, since it is really low build quiality, but that mercedes does exactly 10 KW/100 km more than my Tesla Plaid, I cruised yesterday with 120 km/h tempo, on 6 Celsius and heavy rain and was avaraging about 17kw/100km
I can afford to lose a kidney but not a testy I wish they would let us spec a upper level car with smaller wheels. An example In uk we have the Megane E mid and launch edition come with 20" bottom entry is 18". Just not interested and at £40k it's too much we only get the long range battery and small information screen,inside it feels like a basic family car to me nothing. Special I Want to see what you think.
I've just ordered an EQE53 AMG. The dealer just called me yesterday and offered me the EQS53 AMG as an ex demonstrator doe a whopping 30% discount. This makes the Demo EQS the same price as the new EQE. Apart from making me worry about the massive depreciation that either car will suffer, I'm now faced with a conundrum. Brand new EQE oe 4 month old 5,000km EQS for the same money.... Tough choice. What would you recommend Bjorn? You've driven both, which would make the better car?
@@sboone1074 Ended up with the EQE SUV. They weren't available here in NZ when I ordered, but 3 weeks before the sedan arrived they announced the first shipment of the SUVs, so I switched. Amazing car...
Just imagine how this will all be over general media if this was TESLA... EQ range being recalled because of motor failures ? Also EQCs because of steering failure. Tesla are the clickbate king... U like this sheeeet.
@@hardywoodaway9912 Not entirely sure what you mean, but Bjron has been testing EVs for almost a decade now. The i7 is a step above the existing EV luxury sedans, makes the EQS seem like a toy, it's literally that big of a difference in chassis and power train tuning. BMW is not holding back, just look at the iX it's arguably the benchmark in luxury EV SUV.
