The down/up paddle mimic the manual shifting of gears, that's why when you press down u get more regen, because when you downshift in a ICE you get that engine brake.

I asked an automotive engineer the same question, the answer is whatever stock system a manufacturer puts in a car has to be compliant with very strict safety and quality standards. (how they react or break in an accident, how they manage the constant resonance, how they take the temperature when you leave your car in the sun or in the freezing cold, etc. You get the idea) Consumer grade electronics rarely meet these criteria and I guess Mercedes doesn't have a whole hardware division for developing cutting edge tablets for cars, so you get the shitty 10 year old infotainment systems. I do agree that for the price you pay for supposedly premium car, you would deserve a much better system. Hopefully we'll get a new generation of car tablets soon because they can't get away with these "archaic" devices for much longer 😂

It's all nonsense. Manufacturer's just don't like to acknowledge that they're terrible at certain things, UX and UI being two major ones. They could easily use Android Auto with some fancy skins if they wanted to, ala Volvo/Polestar. They'd rather ship a half arsed digital experience which is all in house, rather than giving credit where it's due. All this testing nonsense still applies to marque's who use AA, so clearly that's not the reason.

I would actually be in this market segment if I wanted an SUV and if I paying the price of an EQE, I don’t care about its drag coefficient, I want a luxury SUV that has road presence .. which happens to be electric. There’s a problem with the whole EQ line, which is who is the target demographic? Their normal buyers of E/S level sedans and suvs willing to spend upwards of 100k are not doing so to look like a jelly bean smooshed car. They do so because they like the road presence previously associated to the brand. What market is there for 100k+ vehicles that look all goofy for a low drag coefficient with mediocre range and mediocre power, that doesn’t even justify the design?

U do realize "minimalistic" means inexpensive, right? That's just a marketing word so they don't have to say they cut manufacturing cost down so they can make their profit margins higher. Look at tesla and how their able to do constant price cuts on their cars. A car thats expensive should have good qaulity buttons for simple controls. Always. Looking down and scrolling for everything rather then just pushing and driving is exactly what "luxury" isn't.

The model X would be even better if the headlights get a refresh to like the model 3 highland. UI is a very subjective question, i agree it's functional and the looks isn't the prettiest but it's miles better than Idrive especially in the layout of settings. Connecting your phone to Idrive takes more steps from menu to submenu to sub options just to connect your phone.

I asked an automotive engineer the same question, the answer is whatever stock system a manufacturer puts in a car has to be compliant with very strict safety and quality standards. (how they react or break in an accident, how they manage the constant resonance, how they take the temperature when you leave your car in the sun or in the freezing cold, etc. You get the idea) Consumer grade electronics rarely meet these criteria and I guess Mercedes doesn't have a whole hardware division for developing cutting edge tablets for cars, so you get the shitty 10 year old infotainment systems. I do agree that for the price you pay for supposedly premium car, you would deserve a much better system. Hopefully we'll get a new generation of car tablets soon because they can't get away with these "archaic" devices for much longer 😂

It's all nonsense. Manufacturer's just don't like to acknowledge that they're terrible at certain things, UX and UI being two major ones.

They'd rather ship a half arsed digital experience which is all in house, rather than giving credit where it's due. All this testing nonsense still applies to marque's who use AA, so clearly that's not the reason.

To me the pedal shifters for changing recuperation make sense. Turning recuperation up would be the equivalent of downshifting when youre slowing down.
The down paddle to increase the re-gen is actually the same as downshift on a gas car to increase engine-breaking.

There’s a problem with the whole EQ line, which is who is the target demographic? Their normal buyers of E/S level sedans and suvs willing to spend upwards of 100k are not doing so to look like a jelly bean smooshed car. They do so because they like the road presence previously associated to the brand. What market is there for 100k+ vehicles that look all goofy for a low drag coefficient with mediocre range and mediocre power, that doesn’t even justify the design?

Only 230 miles of range and 170 kW charging for $120K? When it comes to EVs, range and charging speed can't be upgraded later and if it's crap, you're stuck with that. For $40k? Maybe.

I am sorry, the looks isn't the best especially for the price but i don't think it's outright ugly if you're comparing it to the BMW IX or the Model X. Especially the BMW IX with the frontend and rearend with body lines and shapes that don't flow very well at all. The model X would be even better if the headlights get a refresh to like the model 3 highland. UI is a very subjective question, i agree it's functional and the looks isn't the prettiest but it's miles better than Idrive especially in the layout of settings. Connecting your phone to Idrive takes more steps from menu to submenu to sub options just to connect your phone. And while calling this ugly, we might as well throw in vinfast and fisker under the bus too.

IX is a polarizing look and some people might like it. This one looks like mb took zero risk and just made a generic car. It’s tasteless and cowardly. If you are an old man sure by all mean buy it but if you want your car to look different then buy an iX. Model X is too old to even be discussed in the same conversation.

@@garychou9621 it's not polarizing rather extremely radical looking with current team of BMW designers. It's a vehicle that throws away all previous BMW design languages out the door. Further refering to Frank Stephenson's video on the IX (designer of the McLaren P1 and the BMW X5). The car is designed by "product designers not car designers". A lot more tasteless and emotionless in my opinion with it's exterior design. I am loving how BMW is trying to evolve but this just isn't it.

I find it logical that the pedal shifters are used to alter recovery. It would be the same as downshifting while you are slowing down to speed up recuperation.
The issue is that Marques prefers minimalism. He likes the Tesla aesthetic. Nothing wrong with that, but his criticisms should always be considered through that partiality, no?

I think Mercedes is quite capable of doing that themselves. Consumer Reports listed it as the 2nd most unreliable manufacturer.
all the sounds from the car reminds me of the Will.I.Am video
Indeed taste is subjective. That Merc is definitely NOT ugly.
The only EV SUVs that I can think of that are actually not ugly are Cadillac Lyriq, Escalade and The Kia EV9. Legit cant think of any others at the top of my head
I think the UX looks sick. We are so used to boring minimal/flat style everywhere and finally someone is doing it differently. Well done Mercedes!

It has stalks. Can't say that about all of its competitors, certainly wins against those. And yes, the thing about how the software looks is obviously a subjective thing. I don't love it, but I certainly hate other designs more.
hey i think its look unique not ugly
The EQ range isn’t that great because it’s a performance oriented EV. And it’s heavier for sure. Interior is definitely top notch. I predict Mercedes will release a facelift soon as they’ve done with the EQS for 2025.

The paddles are laid out that way because in ICE vehicles the downshift usually means youre slowing down, ergo Regen Up = slowing down (down paddle)
The paddles make sense because down is like gearing down which would slow you down like more recuperation. Also, the software looks good to me. Maybe it has an old colour scheme but it is not an ugly one.
