Hey Björn. It is so funny: My wife was so annoyed, evertime I tested another EV. But when it comes to the EQS, she reacted in the same way as your wife. Now we have an EQS 450+ and both are so happy with it. BTW. Full throttle on an german Autobahn brings you 270 km range and costs 80% battery. Consumption was 27-29.

Yeah when it comes to quality, comfort and general impression from people the EQS is in a league of it's own currently.

Man, those Norvegian tunnels are crazy interesting. And the EQS quality is on top.

Heyda @Bjørn Nyland , thanks for this funny ride you took us with you. The country, and the car as well ;-), seems to be as great as the people says. Btw: got a recommendation to checkout your channel - it was a good advice! It is (!) a pleasure to join your audience -> you've got a new fan :-) Have a nice week, kind regards from Germany, Jo

Wauw - Norway is so beautiful 👍 Love this Sunday roadtrip. And the music just fits in beautifully with the landscape... Thankyou Bjørn for taking the time...

I got my EQS 450+ a week ago, and I am enjoying it.

Oh, this brings back memories. Spent two weeks in this area with my Tesla Model 3 back in June. I could drive those roads all day long. Sveler is so delicious 😋

Nice story that your wife want this eqs 😂 greetings from germany 😊

Come on Mercedes what better way to promote your car than to sell this car cheap to him 😉

Great video, love the music and driving video. Its a perfect match for a sunday driving video.

Great Video Bjorn. As a previous comment said great looking country and those tunnels you went through (blue lighting also look eerie (spooky), not sure why you would think of leaving, you are at the home of EV's. Keep up the great Sunday driving in the daylight if possible.

Wow, this must be the best EV on the market. Mercedes knows how to build cars. Awesome review as always.

I rather have the charge port on the passenger side of the car because of public parking alongside street. Otherwise the cable sticks out on the road and could be hit by bicycles and cars. On the front and the charge port freezes and therefore can't be opened like on our e-Niro once had

Well done on the range reached! This trip includes some elevated areas and A/C use but was favored by good weather, average cruising speed around 80-90 km/h and less traffic. With your driving experience, do you see any possibilities for more range on this car? E.g. how would flat areas and no A/C (if weather permits) use affects this range?

wifey approved

Great to see BEVs using the the correct side charge port, more and more each year.

I dont need this car but I drove it and was incradebly silent at low and high speeds. Good choice if someone want range.

Really nice scenery Björn, one day I must come and drive those roads. About the test - I am really impressed with range, EVs are going to overpower ICE in next 10+ years. Batterys are going better and better, and that's only reason why EVs are still not fully prepared for take over the mainstream.

My driver’s door is on the right side which is the right side, not the left side which would be the wrong side but my charging door is on the left side which is the wrong side not the right side which would be the right side except on my drive where the left side is actually the right side…..for my connector. I’m confused.

It would be interesting to ask Tesla engineers what made sense to them to install the charge port on the left side and not on the right side. it was probably the best strategy on the vehicle design along with the supercharger infrastructure in mind and last maybe the convenience to the driver close to the charge port. But what if they would have placed the charge port on the right side from the very beginning? Would it be then the left side the wrong side and the right side "right"?
