This month, I only drove my EQS 580 a total of 118 miles - flying for extended stays out of state will do that. As promised last month, I share 5 unsung favorites:
1) The pillows
2) The cameras
3). The hidden charger
4). The left/right parking lights
5). My dealership - very much a part of the ownership experience

Shout out the team that put the ceramic coating and film on my car: Sun Stoppers in Fayetteville, NC (sunstoppers.com/locations/north-carolina/fayettevi…)

Shout out to my local MB dealership: Mercedes-Benz of Fayetteville (www.mercedesbenzoffayetteville.com/)

    Fellow EQS SUV (580) owner here! I got mine back in April 2023, and I have been driving, on average, 4,000 miles per month. As of right now, the mileage is 22,000 miles. This is one of the best EVs I have ever owned, compared to all the BMW, Audi, and Tesla I owned.

    Very helpful videos looking forward to getting one once I graduate! Very happy with what Mercedes’ has done with the EV market

    Excellent video as always. My EQS has the lightest interior so head rest pillows show signs of stains from head. Not sure if it’s from wife’s hair spray or my general perspiration in the the high Florida heat. How do you clean the head pillows?

    Parking lights are actually quite common in european cars albeit not mandatory. For example on Volkswagen you turn them on with the indicator stalk. Ignition on = indicators, ignition off = parking lights. So you can´t drive around with only your parking lights on, like in your EQS.

    Doubtful I will keep this vehicle as long as you because I’m looking for numerous improvements. I’m hoping MB removes the nuisance start/stop button because tapping brake before drive is sufficient. Also, I want walk away locking provided no one else is in vehicle. For some dumb reason, AC charging for the big battery is limited to 9.6 kW while most other EVs can do 11.5kW. EQS AC charging in Europe is much higher. Long road trips are somewhat risky with our lousy charging infrastructure, especially Electrify America with very poor reliability and unresponsive service. Typically, they install only 4 stalls and 50% are down. I want a MB with the NACS connector so I can charge at one of the 20,000 Tesla Superchargers that have 99% uptime.

    Interesting video but I was left wondering why you chose a sedan over the SUV model.
