Yeah definitely more of a wife car. Although my wife would rather the X for sure.

I have sold my Tesla Model X after using it for three years, Now i have the EQS 580 ❤ I really love it soo much more than Tesla X. You mentioned that regenerative braking doesn't stop in EQS !! this information is not correct you just need to go to the setting and disable the Creep mode and the car will stop completely when braking. The cup holder at the back set is there you just need to press it one more time and it will come out . Range in EQS is 600 to 650 km , i don't know from where you got your data ?!! . Don't understand me wrong , i love Tesla but after using EQS for one year kzread.info/dash/bejne/lH5op9GNoLWzYag.html i can say it is better than Tesla in many things. One of the thing i hated in My Tesla was the Falcon Wings doors, it is really dangerous for Children, it bumped my head several times and my mother too, it is not a practical doors, you have to be careful every time some one enter the car. the Range was 400Km 👎 the cargo space is good when folding the back sets but if you brake !!! all the staff and the grocery will fly to you to the front set !!!. the HEPA filter in Tesla is not good as the EQS.

Not a fan of the gamer lighting or being locked out of the frunk. 4ft 9 to 7ft 3 seating adjustment wow!

No frunk storage kinda sucks.

We’ve owned two Tesla model S since 2017. Tesla really isn’t a luxury car like Mercedes. Therefore, we have the EQS 580 for 2nd home. There’s a lot to love about MB such as hyperscreen that spans entire dashboard. Rear wheel steering provides a very short turning radius and bird’s eye camera makes parking very easy avoiding curb rash. Massage, sunroof, ambient lighting, quietness, pillows, & fragrance really pampers all occupants. My sedan is getting 375-400 mi range and one pedal driving is almost as good as Tesla. Adaptive cruise control is better than Tesla with lane changing as standard. On the negative side, I hate the start/stop button and there’s no walk away auto locking. Lack of a frunk is disappointing. DC fast charging is only 200 kW and AC charging only 9.6 kW.

Great comparison video, however if you opt for the hyper screen it has way more tech than the model x. Either way the rear seat cupholders if you double push on the as you said pen holder it will come out to reveal 2 cup holders. It’s a fabulous vehicle.

Both have sufficient technology and creature comforts to be rated as good EVs. EQS' sunroofs that can open and close plus the sunshades and ordinary four doors place it above Tesla Model X on my scale of preference.

It would've been better if you mentioned about the EQS automatic comfort doors in the front and rear. Closing can also be controlled by gesture via the optional MBUX Interior Assistant. I see most of the people in the comments section are talking about the model x automatic doors. Great review by the way!

If the price point were closer, the EQS would be a no brainer. Every car should have heads up display, especially in this price range.

I know it’s an EV comparison but for me the question that should be asked is EQS vs GLS. The Model X is simply the better EV, the EQS is the better luxury car. But at that price is being an OK very expensive electric (EQS) better than being a Great ICE vehicle (GLS)? Ultimately I think the EQS in the next 3-5 years will be an amazing choice for both luxury AND Ev needs.

Liked the rear wheel steering and HUD. A decibel meter comparison over the same stretch of road would be great.

Great review! Really day-to-day perspective which is very refreshing. For me its not a real comparison - the EQS much higher quality and superior in any way - except if you need the Tesla charging network (which will Mercedes use now as well), which would be a deciding factor for me. Since I live in Europe with a good CCS network - it's not a deal breaker for me. The EQS is a luxury car- the X is an appliance and people mover, for what it is - the X is way too expensive.

The tesla was not a bad vehicle but if you factor in the price point it kinda is for what you actually get. The only cool aspect about the X was the rear doors, the kids love it! Other than that it did not feel as special as the EQS.

Great review. Now I know the Model X is overpriced. ( Sorry Tesla fans). Cabin quality and craftsmanship of the EQS is so well done. It's like a Sheraton bedroom compared to Tesla's Motel 6. The battery pack is the only well worthy advantage IMO. If you have a family, 0-60 times is not a factor either.

Tesla Fan here and sold 2018 Model X and replaced it with EQS 450 4Matic. No complaints. Things I miss…. No Frunk in the EQS. Otherwise EQS is better in every way. Thing I don’t miss. The FWD on the X are a disaster and not family friendly for our needs. Try parking the X in a parking garage, you’ll soon realize FWD doors will not open all the way and having access to kids in the back seat is impossible. Still have my 2018 Silver Model 3 and will keep it until I upgrade to the S.

Nice review. EQS has a lot more space (leg space) than Model Y or Model X, so no comparison there. Also the range is estimated at 285, but you will get 350+ actual range on it in city driving, where as Tesla is the opposite.

You videos are always terrific, and point out the things I am interested in knowing without digressing into unnecessary details. I got a 2023 Model X three weeks ago, after driving a Y and a 3. I aim very happy with the car's upgrades from the Y. While the Mercedes is interesting, I think I would find all the buttons and lights distracting. I love the clean look of all Teslas, and don't ever want to have to deal with buttons again. I can, however, understand how the Mercedes' features would be more entertaining for people with kids. Isn't it wonderful that we are getting to the point where there are more and more options for electric vehicles? Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the review, Kim. For $107K there are too many disappointments. Mercedes clearly has loaded the car with WOW features in order to make up for the lack of what make it a really desirable car. My first disappointment is having to purchase through a Mercedes dealership. (Ugh!) 285 mile range is a non-started for road trips which is strange since it is a very quiet riding car. CCS charging network dependency is also a big negative for road trips. They also put the charge port on the wrong side for future access to Tesla Superchargers. No frunk and small cargo volume tells me the EQS is an ICE crossover (not a clean slate design) A start button is an indication of non-integrated electronics. Portrait screen is not optimal for real-time information display. Lack of tech features like camping mode, sentry mode, Navigate on Autopilot, internet, games, FSD, etc. Some people will be attracted by the heightened sense of luxury, and you can call me a snob, but to my way of thinking, a car without a built in chauffeur is not a luxury automobile.

The app of Tesla is better. You can’t start the EQS with the MB app. With Tesla app, you can drive even without the fob (key on MB version, you must have the key to start your eqs). You can open your home garage with the Tesla app. But not MB app.

EQS - it’s like a car and a disco ball had a baby

As an owner of each, I was bemused by the early comment that if you want tech by the X and luxury buy the EQS. Thats just wrong. The EQS has way more tech than the tesla. The autopilot, wipers, handling, parking camera’s, voice system, headlights are all vastly superior in the eqs. The ambiant lighting is a fantastic as a safery feature. Open your door with a car coming behind you and watch the alerts. As for range…if you are a user like me with days between drives, the eqs has far more range than the x. The x looses so mich power just when just sitting around.

That is a fat car! I would forever be parking 2 miles away from everything

Thank you for the really detailled comparison! 😃👍 You have an American viewpoint. Interesting, but don't forget it's a German car. The operational concept is a bit oriented to German habits and to the habits and expectations of Mercedes owners. Just turn the time 20 years back and imagine you'd compare a Mercedes coupé vs. a Dodge Charger or Chevrolet Camaro. Completely different concepts for different people with different habits in mind. 😉 That's the interesting in globalisation: most people can choose what they like to purchase depending on their taste. And thanks to internet and KZread that everyone can make an informed decision. You gave your good share in helping people making a decision! 😃👍

Excellent and honest review. Great job. I like the tech in Tesla but hate the customer service I bought 4 teslas starting with my Very Orange Tesla Roadster #796. And 3 model S. Probably my last. Very disappointed in FSD. 11.4.4 sucks. The fact that you can never call anyone. When I started with Tesla I had the numbers and contact info for the head of service and Battery development. Now I can’t talk to someone in Reception at a local service center.

Tesla interior does look super cheap esp the dashboard and seats. I only like its speedy performance and onscreen features. Took my gf to both dealers last week, Tesla and Mercedes. At the end she said no to Tesla. Lol. For the low quality components Tesla put in their prices should be lower. They are making way too much money. MB Ev prices are also high 😮

Have had enough with ICE vehicles made under the MB , BMW and LR logos. And, getting way too old to bother with all those knobs, buttons,etc.

Shame they don't sell the RHD MX in UK anymore, I need to replace my MS so I guess the EQS would be the way to go...

20:37 Because there are many not so attentive people on this world and having a car turn on simply when you get in might result in some issues. In addition, not everytime you get into the car you would actually want to drive it somewhere.

After this video, and having visited the Mercedes website (again)... I believe for an SUV I prefer the Model X over the EQS. However, I might prefer the S-Class Sedan from Mercedes over the Model S.

i just got my Model X a week ago, and what i noticed is the wind noise on the highway... on side streets the model x is quiet.. but, as soon as i go on the highway and go to 60-70 miles per hour, there is significant wind noise... i guess my Tesla was not well insulated for high speed driving... i wonder if this is something Tesla can fix ....

The EQS is the superior car. Feel free to like the tesla, but it is objectively worse. Built quality, cabin noise, service is all better. Subjectively (for me) the EQS is a luxury car, the Tesla X is what some think a luxury car is. Nitpicking but the "pen holder" is a cup holder, double press to extend it. There is a sub-trunk.

I have not driven the EQS or any other MB EVs. But I testdrove a new Model X and was surprised at how noisy it still is as well as the poor ride quality despite having air suspension with the improvements from the Raven upgrade.

There are cup holders, right behind the device holder (pen holder lol). You just gave to pop it out all the way.

Does the EQS need regular servicing ? I may be cynical but Old schoolCar manufacturers are likely to nail you after you buy it with expensive servicing as they have done for decades. No servicing is still one of the many things I love about my Teslas.

Kim, nicely done. Fair assessment. Rear wheel steer yes! Quiet is signature Mercedes S. Tesla still rocks for me.

Ahh, the EQS 450 is nice and so much superior to the Tesla - but wait you really need to review the EQS 580. There is no comparison there, night and day - Mercedes quality and luxury outstrip Tesla. Charging, I have no problem charging my 580 at Electrified America (EA), I took a trip from Phoenix to Charlotte North Carolina and had no issue charging (great network). I saw several Tesla charging on EA even though there was a Tesla charging station not more than 5 miles away (?). Best though the trip was free as Mercedes gives you 2 years of free charging (with 30 minute sessions). Another differentiator - Hyper screen, it's awesome, one screen across the entire dash, look beautiful. O can go on and on, love my EQS 580!

Being a R1S owner and have driven Model X, I prefer R1S more. R1S & MX are more practical for family with kids where EQS SUV is more for adults. Level-3 autonomy, HUD, rear wheel turning, ambient light, massage option and quiet cabin are basically new hallmark of Mercedes Benz brand.

Luxury and quality of builds of MB all the way!

This car looks INCREDIBLE.. but I'd be most interested when I'm going on a road trip.. and at that point.. no way. I'll take Tesla for the supercharging network all day long. Once they implement NACS, it becomes a viable option IMO.

"When you get the kids sitting closer together, they get into all sorts of fights!." hehe, been there. Just say, No ice cream, if they keep fighting!.

The high-end EQS would really get spanked by the high-end Model X (the Plaid version). We added "Tesla" puddle LEDs for about 10 bucks. All that ambient lighting is pretty annoying. I get the feel and quiet of the Benz but I'm not a fan of the front end. You didn't mention it but I believe owners are locked out of the hood area of the EQS, period. And Benz does require "service".

Unless you love dealing with dealerships, Tesla all the way. The dealerships will find ways to make the maintenance of EQS comparable to ICE, if not most likely more.
