Best Benz.....Ever
The S class is always considered the "best" Benz, well this EQS in 580 form is better than its internal combustion counterpart in every way except one, as a limousine. Its faster, handles better, is quieter, and brakes significantly better. Its ride is as sublime as the gas model. Finally it aces its gas counterpart in the most important criteria of these vehicles, Its a better isolation chamber, the rest of the world around you disappears. All you hear is beautiful sounds from its excellent Burmester audio while wafting down the highway at any speed in utter comfort and safety. Its quite frankly a remarkable car in all respects, plus its an extraordinary EV as far as range, speed of charging and so on. It makes range anxiety an obsolete term.

Terrible brakes
The car rides smooth but brakes ate the worst. I was going about 60mph and had to suddenly stop. I was almost in the middle of the intersection before the car came to a complete stop. Also, the account blows as loud as an airplane engine. Even when I set the ac on a level 1 at 80 degrees during the summer. Customer service can't help much with this new car. Terrible car for the price.

Nice to have a reliable alternative fuel (electric) vehicle

Best luxury EV on the market
Owned the model S and never liked the minimalistic ultra modern approach to $100k vehicle as well as was very unimpressed with the interior, paint and ride quality for the price. Needed a daily driver as have to drive 100 miles per day for business. Was a bit hesitant as it was a new concept for MB and those are known to have questionable reliability. The pros: amazing plush ride, impressive interior quality, better Wh/mile than wife’s much lighter and smaller Model 3, super useful trunk space and dropping rear seat if needed, adequate power and handling even though it is their “base” trim. Cons: laggy software/processor, a couple of interior rattles, can’t really think of anything else, just nitpicking. Breaks complaints are bogus. It is all about the regeneration settings. Change is to sport and test then. Huge disks and calipers, stops on the spot. Overall very satisfied and recommend to everyone to try before pulling the plug on the S-Class.
Test drive only.
Great drive. Excellent handling. Superb smooth ride. So much technology that I will need to attend mission specialist school to learn .
