2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Nicer than I thought
I bought a steeply discounted 580 EQS back in August with 4K miles. I had a few challenges initially even though the car was CPO. blow out of a tire. spontaneous opening of the charging door. a few weird messages on the screen that went away. None of these bother me because, it's an amazingly smooth driving, fast, comfortable electric car. Great effort. Looking forward to settling in for a while with this one.

I’ve owned 35-40 cars in 52 years, but this one…
…is as flawless as they can make them, all other EVs or ICEs included. Lucid could get there, provided it survives in the long-term. The others are however also-rans. This car routinely gets 380-420 miles per charge in the summer months and barely falls under 300 in colder temps (granted, I do not live in Minn). Fit/finish/NVH/tech/options/style/comfort/safety/ not to mention ride and handling - all 10s. Only thing I did is replace summer tyres with all-season ones. Nothing, but nothing has cropped up as an issue. Had this one since spring 22 and have yet to be summoned to a dealer for service. I am very skeptical about the naysayers with their laments about braking, etc. They need to spend some time learning the depths of this unique vehicle. This is not an assembly of parts from a shopworn bin; it is an organic whole that feels like part of you. I surmise M-B is likely losing a quarter mil on each $120K EQS it sells.

An expensive electric toy!
I have owned Mercedes-Benz for over a decade, having every model they make. I was very anxious to get the eqs 450 Plus at the end of 2021, a 2022 model. It was in for a recall every month, the brakes were horrible, and the tires were the utmost worse. It is hard to believe that Mercedes as a manufacturer put such poor quality rubber, on such an expensive car. I sold it after 5 months. When the screen went totally down, and you were literally blind because everything worked on cameras. The dealer was reputable, but really didn't know what to fix. I further went with a Mercedes eqb and again taking a car designed for an ice engine, and making it into an EV, what's the poor way to approach the EV market. It doesn't did not even have power seats, only a backup camera, and regenerative braking was questionable. After owning 23 Mercedes-Benz, I left the eqb after 5 months and went with a Volvo c40 recharge, basically the same price range. A world of difference. Mercedes should get their act together as a high-end manufacturer and maybe take the lead from Volvo as they come up with their ex 30 and ex 90 next year. I don't know why they have been such a big failure so far but they may redeem themselves in the future.
Elegant
Very smooth ride and comfortable. Plush interior compared to my previous 2020 Tesla S long range. I have the pinnacle trim which is nice. Bought an adapter for my previously installed Tesla charger from Amazon. Still have a little range anxiety as I stepped down from a tesla. My only gripe is the brakes not being very sharp. Bought 3 days ago. Find myself driving more conservatively compared to the tesla which is good in my case!!

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.
