🚗 *The Mercedes EV Disaster: What Went Wrong?* ⚡
Mercedes-Benz, a name synonymous with luxury and performance, has recently faced significant setbacks in its electric vehicle (EV) ambitions. Despite the company’s reputation for engineering excellence, its foray into the EV market has encountered numerous challenges, leaving many wondering what went wrong. Let's delve into the factors behind the Mercedes EV disaster.
Mercedes-Benz entered the EV race with high expectations, aiming to compete with the likes of Tesla and other established electric car manufacturers. However, a combination of technological hurdles, strategic missteps, and market dynamics led to a series of disappointments. One of the primary issues was the underwhelming performance of their EVs in terms of range and efficiency. Compared to competitors, Mercedes' electric models struggled to meet consumer expectations, which hurt their reputation.
Production and supply chain problems also played a crucial role in the downfall. Delays in battery production and sourcing of essential materials caused significant setbacks. These delays not only impacted delivery schedules but also increased production costs, making it difficult for Mercedes to price their EVs competitively.
Moreover, the company’s approach to EV design failed to resonate with the evolving preferences of eco-conscious consumers. While Mercedes focused on luxury and traditional automotive excellence, they missed the mark on the innovative features and tech-driven appeal that newer EV brands offered. This misalignment with consumer demands further alienated potential buyers.
Despite these challenges, Mercedes-Benz remains committed to overcoming these obstacles and revitalizing their EV lineup. The company is investing heavily in research and development to improve battery technology, enhance vehicle performance, and streamline production processes. Lessons learned from these initial setbacks are shaping a more strategic and consumer-focused approach moving forward.

"EV-race"... A good one! :D

That plastic front panel of the EQS looks cheap, even the Maybach version has it. This car is ugly because of the way the headlights are shaped etc., not because of aerodynamics.

@Jensgerbi 15 дней назад

Well, the EQS still performs better than the BMW i7 in terms of sales numbers. Not too bad for a "disaster".

2:28 that's not a Mercedes, that's a BMW i3; a total failure as well, but that's a story for another day😄.

Not to mention the energy efficiency (Miles/kWh) being well over 20% more then Tesla. Any ICE car would have been canceled before launch if that was the case. Also over the air updates that don't work, software glitches etc. Failing common to most legacy automakers first attempted at making EV's. Conclusion "ICE age" engineers and managers do not have the skill sets required to create a competitive EV let alone a low cost EV. RIP many legacy automakers.

electric isn't supposed to be car mechanism there's no tech for it there will never be tech for it to able to be satisfying to different type pf people, like ICE does

Mercedes is so out of touch. The EQS embodies everything that Tesla is not, inn all the negative ways. It feels old-fashioned, with an overabundance of piano black plastics and chrome. Younger consumers hate these design elements, which is why you won't find them in a Tesla past 2022. Not only is Mercedes making a car that younger EV owners don't want to buy, but the older customer base dislikes it because it is both unattractive and electric. Additionally, the air vents in a Mercedes resemble a frightening garbage disposal. The old E-class was one of the prettiest cars on the market. why not start with that mercedes!?!?!??

it is even worse, Mercedes received tons of money from the EU to ramp up EV Research and Production and now if they really wanna turn back they would have to pay back these EU funds. So they will have to keep making EV's because it is still cheapter then returning the funds to EU.

Everyone were laughing at Toyota But they were first to crack bevs and see them not fit so now everyone is crying and lost billions

What happened ? They tried to convert a gasoline chassis/car to an EV. Instead of starting from ground up. Also, ugly af. I cannot believe all they had to do was take their best looking model and make an EV out of it. Literally all they had to do.

@thelifeofbatteries2603 15 дней назад

Wrong, EQE and EQS are ground up Ev's and NOT converted ICE cars

@notyabusiness1815 15 дней назад

@@thelifeofbatteries2603 and they, for whatever reason, decided to ditch their whole design philosdophie in the progress. especially the eqs just looks plain ugly. their regular lineup shows they know how to make cool cars so its really beyond me
