But ready to go any moment with helmet, shoes, tools, glasses, towels, etc up there. That and some cleaners/etc can all be up there, and still have the car and trunk, etc empty looking. Which is also good to avoid theft. Or when on road trips for weekend or camping, it's crazy how much can fit in there, keeping the passenger area more clear. Also the 'deep trunk' area is similar as it's like bonus space to fit things in, yet not affect the day to day use of passenger area or even trunk space from looking empty. F150 of course has an amazing large frunk, and for anyone actually using it as a pickup for contracting work, you can store bunch of tools/etc in there and still have your bed and entire cabin clear, and avoid theft as most people don't even know it's a storage area, much less what is in it vs in cabin or pickup bed.

There's something stuck in the back of my mind when I see Doug's videos with Mercedes-Benz cars. Those buttons (home, forward, backward) and overall the bottom UI on the infotainment look so much like the ones on the Windows Media Player 11

I've been watching your channel for a very long time, and its awesome to technically see one of my cars in your video. I bought that red E28 in your Cars & Bids ad at 0:54! Thanks Doug!

Nice one, son!

Have fun paying monthly for heated seats, and horsepower unlock 🤣

No one: Doug: this one being affordable priced at 87000

The EQE is the same price as the Lexus LS… I know which one I’d rather have.

General question. Shouldn’t all these electric cars actually be equipped with the least electric options like electric seats, seat heating, etc. in order to save battery power? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Doug is the type of guy to leave the back seats down in full view whilst driving for a review lol

This was a quick-n-dirty for the views attached to the uptick on launch interest. Nothing more. This is a slightly worse EQS with no notable differences other than size and available options, neither of which come across in a video review. It might as well not be reviewed. Just take everything anyone's EQS review said and apply it, plus smaller trunk and less options per dollar.

We’re in the days where an AMG will be nothing more than a few 10 cent badges and a software update.

I feel like that giant piano black grill is going to age horribly and get tons of rock chips, bug splats etc over the years

Just wait until the sticker backing peels and the clear plastic yellows. I'm certain that's how they give it depth.

Depreciation is a real killer on the EQE

this thing looks like it's melted in the sun. also not a juke

The star dash would annoy me for regular use and driving if it was simply blacked out then I’m sold on it. Definitely looks great without the 56 inch display

Doug the type of guy to forget to put the rear seats back up when he goes on a drive

The new Toyota Prius looks very nice

What normal working American even making $100,000 a year can afford these cars if they're $70,000 to $80,000 for base model cars the car scene is a joke nowadays

Looks about as exciting as the Mitsubishi Mirage you reviewed in the video I see in the right-hand column.

"56 inch screen" No it isn't. It's 3 screens, with significant bezels between them. If that's a 56" screen, then a bin full of gameboys is a 200" screen.

Thank you! Cadillac and now Ford are playing the same silly game. GM is the worst in that a big part of the screen is a seperate screen devoted to light controls. What's the point? Its only useable for that one purpose, making it more screen-y than traditional light controls but not at all related to the actual screen in any way other than being a nearby screen. I have a 63" TV in the living room and 2 40 inch TVs in bedrooms. I can make them adjacent to each other. Does that mean I have a 143" TV?

"Design looks better on this scale" Doug is high

Fun quirk: the stars on the outside have an slightly increased angle between the bottom two lines - because its not allowed to illuminate oem logos on the outside of a car. Fun quirk 2: the touch slider for the sunroof is super unresponsive with dry hands - the mercedes development engineer always brought wet hand wipes to moisturize :D

You know they’re in the infancy of EV’s when they use aerodynamics to maximize range. Best not to buy until these mature and become more capable 😊

Doug is the type of guy who says at 11:36 that he’s gonna link other video reviews below, but never does😂

As someone who works with rental cars every day: the sliders/capacitive touch/touch screen buttons are cool until they glitch or, especially in winter, when you wear gloves. Ill be impressed by that tech when it can detect gloves well and not glitch on me

I try not to fault a current cars styling. In 10+ years it might look great. This is how I've always perceived cars. I am older and didn't really think the styling of the 93 Camaro was good, it was really ugly to me. Fast forward today and I quite like them.

Mercedes could make so much more money if they just stuck a battery pack on their ICE Versions of the car like what BMW did with the new(but extremely ugly) 7 series. The EQ line up looks really ugly overall, everything looks like an egg.

@pruhnav I agree. However, they probably had to design this egg to make up for the otherwise pathetic mileage range.

@@bderris that’s fair, but honestly there’s a lot of cars out there that don’t have an egg shape and still get incredible range. Take a look at the NIO ET7, looks hella nice, and gets like 620 miles of range. It does maintain decent looks while not sacrificing it all for range. This one is just outright bad design. They could’ve designed it better

It looks like a melting 2000 Audi a6

My dad has one, not by choice by the way. The thing drives like a mercedes sprinter van. Its heavy as shit, i can feel it dive over bumps and railroads because of the weight. On the other hand it has really accurate steering. No visibility all around, windshield is to slanted rear window is as big as a side window and the a pillar is always in the way.

I thought this was an EQS review and then I realized it was missing the back end.

Thanks for reviewing this one Doug! I've seen these on the Autobahn quite a few times now but their look still doesn*t grow on me. its just that aerodynamic shape, which of course helps with range but it does look "funny". Love the Interieur a lot thhough, definitely one of the best on the Market! Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
