5 daily pleasures in owning an EQS - and I think it killed CarPlay - ownership at 19 months

This month, I share 5 things about my 2023 EQS-580 that bring me joy on a daily basis:
1) The exterior lights when I turn the car on and off
2) The tail light effects when the car turns off
3) The greeting when I sign-in to my profile
4) Personalizing the passenger display
5) Using hand gestures to begin my personalized massage
I also discuss the recent over-the-air update that promised, "With this software update, we will update the communication module of your vehicle. Product improvements will be implemented and robustness increased." Unfortunately, my CarPlay stopped working after this update, so I'll have the service team check it out.
Finally, I'll address a viewer's question about financing/leasing an EQS.

    That’s 3.4c per mile, which is pretty good. Your home power must be around 12-14c/kWh. My EV6 costs me 4.1c per mile at 18.9c/kWh.

    Love it! Keep it coming! On my EQS 450+ SUV I had an update with new user interface goodies. Did you get any? Likely we wont see them until 4th of July or maybe Halloween. I am very curious, have you started exploring options for buying the car at lease end? As in - a reputable car loan company or will you buy it in cash?

    I have not received the interface goodies update you referenced yet; I always enjoy the graphic goodies. I chose not to lease this car. If I had, I would go through my credit union, which has always provided me with the best interest rates and financing options, to make the post-lease purchase.

    I heard that Mercedes electric models sales are going down. They are bringing back combustion engine cars back by eliminating electric cars. BMW is considering hydrogen cars to produce in 2030 do you think it is worth buying electric cars. Also I heard people using electric cars are getting headache & becoming tired after short distance. What do you think can you reply.

    The sales for their electric vehicles has not kept up with their expectations. They are only delaying their plans to phase out the gas cars, but the electric ones are still their long term plan.

    I have not heard about EV drivers getting headaches or getting tired. I actually feel more rested after driving my EQS because the ride is so smooth and the car does most of the driving on longer trips.

    if you drive the EQS in sport mode, you could get sick by rapid acceleration and breaking, but this applies to any car with high torque. I have the smaller engine EQS 350 and I prefer ECO mode for smoother (but slower) acceleration. I never get headache or get tired and I do long distances, 16000km in 6 months, if I get tired, I would just tell the car and I get a nice massage :)

    @@EQS-Owner I agree with you completely. It's a really relaxing and comfortable driving experience in the EQS, whether I'm driving locally or on a 1200 mile road trip.
