What I REALLY think of the Mercedes EQS SUV
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
An SUV goes against everything we stand for as a channel - but is there a place for the Mercedes EQS SUV?
Yes it's pricy, and yes you're not getting loads more range etc, but as the EV market grows and expands is this the kind of luxury car we'll be dreaming of driving in the future?

Mercedes should have probably listed the boot space as 2019.9 litres, 2020 doesn't have the same ring to it anymore.

Looks really good, one of my favourites so far. The car looks nice too. Really though, Tesla can learn a thing or 2 when it comes to design, this car just looks desirable compared to the blob Model X...

I'm excited by the MG4, I'd never afford one new, but it's finally the same price as similar ICE cars. The last hurdle for electric is to introduce the cut down base models and then the new ICE car will be as good as dead.

The strategy that Telsa took, produce a high-value car, then a sedan, and finally a low cost version of their models, really can't be reproduced by EVERY other car company. What will happen is all these car companies will produce these high-value cars that will glut the market and there won't be enough people to buy them all. This is mildly OK if they are using these high-value cars to offset their investments into their new electric car factories, but a massive mistake if they end up using the cars to offset their loses on their failure to sell their existing ICE car factory productions. Cheap electric cars are... I mean, affordable electric cars ARE coming, lets hope the established car companies aren't left holding a bag of huge debt, ICE car production that no one wants and a bunch of high-value cars that no one can afford

It seems BMW and Mercs top of the range EVs will both be about £10k above eu prices.

It beautiful video is so beautiful that I think it’s really beautiful really really really beautiful just beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!
I have two remarks: 1) The 3rd row seat is far too optimistic - it makes me think it is a sponsored video: it is really small with very limited leg space and head room. 2) Hyperscreen: very nice at day of purchase, but how does it go over the lifetime of the vehicle? What if it gets a bump and you need replacement?
So it's Business Class, not First Class but a little more comfortable than the single mother with 3 kids in Standard Class. I'm also a bit disappointed it's fingerprint and not facial recognition, similar to Face ID on an iPhone.

Pointless car that very few can afford to buy....just watched it to see Eilis as beautiful as ever.
Still no heat pump? If so terrible winter range. From the front all Mercedes EV look the same hideous styling. Where on video the front of the EQS looks nice and the BMW iX looks awful in real life it’s the opposite. Also the driving dynamics of the BMW made me choose for the iX.
It looks like they've put some thought into the front of the car and totally forgot about the rest.

It's clear if you watch this review right after watching Jack's Aptera preview on Fully Charged that the trend towards SUVs in EVs is very poorly informed. The heavier the car, the more expensive it will be. We need mass adoption of EVs NOW to have any sort of impact on climate change ASAP. Putting so much R&D into a high energy consuming luxury EV like this is just aimed at wealthy people who prefer to ignore climate change is happening at all. Anyone who genuinely gets how urgent this situation is would not be thinking cars like this have any place in our future. Still a very entertaining video due to Eilish. But I'd urge Electroheads to be more discerning about what they accept to review. This is pretty much indistinguishable from an extended advert.

No electric car is worth their ridiculous unfair high prices. No there not enough electricity in our USA to power and charge electric cars. California now does not have enough electricity supply charging the many numbers of electric cars and this horrible state now has blackout where they forbid charging. Our world is also running out of materials to make the batteries that is needed so we are now damaging and devastating our earth. When the time comes to sell or trade-in an electric cars the poor owners are going to get a huge surprise for the depreciation of their electric cars because the cost of replacing the batteries is super expensive, about $20,000.00. Electric cars owners are going to get a very huge unpleasant and ugly shock. Be smart and AVOID buying any worthless electric car. 724616
