who’s the presenter? excellent job!!! another Sandy that’s not afraid to point out the bad. this guys is more polite though. i’ll be waiting for more episodes from this guy.
Sorry mate but did you even watch the video? Every chinese brand is better packaged and finished than this obviously electrified fossil. And i mean fossil in the most derogatory way.
I was about to say the same but usually get the beating. Who knows as in one generations grandkids will ask: Did they really build cars in Germany when you were young?
No, Even the koreans are better than that contraption. 3 and Y, maybe even CT are good. Then many Chinese and Koreans, then germans, then Stellantis then Ford, then GM, then Plaid. Plaid is fast but nothing else.
@@allencrider Yes, but that is - sad to say - all it is. f i want fast and cheap i buy a used M3P. If i want fast and not so cheap i buy a Plaid. If i want luxury i buy a Mercedes.
@@allencrider Me? I would never buy a luxury thingies. Not a car, motorcycle, boat, watch, house, vacation. A car is a tool for me. To safely, cost and energy efficiently transport my tools and parts to and from my customers. And the same goes for my employees. Model 3 is too small but wifey loves it. Model Y is also not big enough but larger vehicles with similar cost, sustainability and features are not available. I hope i get 2 of the ordered Cybertrucks before 2030. Or someone else produces something comparable. All other manufacturers are either too expensive, do not have the necessary Software and App Support, do not sell here in middle Europe, are too small, not efficient enough or their TCO is too high for my budget.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 Mercedes and Audi have A, B, C, E class, Audi A1-4 and Q1-3 etc all smaller and a lot lighter than this EQ You see a lot of big heavy German cars in the US because of the people, culture, tax structure, gas prices etc
@@EngineeringNibbles I don't know what class you talk about. We in Europe do not have classes for cars. There are categories like SUV, CUV, Crossover, Sedan, Kombi, Cabrio but they are quite mushy and men - only men - discuss what category a car is forever and ever. I have given up my man card many years agi and concentrate on important things in life. Cleaning up after my dogs or looking for my grand kids. Audi once had a relabelled VW Polo called Audi 50 and the Audi A1, quite successful. And Mercedes once ha a A-Class. Small and light vehicles. You only see the heavy and fast Audis and Mercedes here in Europe, and also the heavy and fast BMW and VW. Only few buy the smaller and lighter ones. People wanting to buy lighter cars buy predominantly Toyota or Kia.
Was wondering the same thing. But I suppose yasa Flux still doing the reliability validation so cannot really meet the timeline for this product. Or would be about 1/3 the size of this and may need much more beefy cooling pipes.
the Yasa axial flux motors are reserved for special AMG vehicles which will have their own platform called AMG.EA. The electric AMG GT 4-Door Coupe with over 1000hp, coming to markets in 2026, will be the first vehicle to get these new motors.
12:58 what’s that silver bracket with a clip on the end hanging down with nothing attached? Something removed or vestigial remnant of the design process?
I have to disagree about the gear-looking balljoint nuts at around 3:00. There is significant distance to accommodate a normal castle nut within the diameter of the brake rotor, and you can see that the tie rod ends extends further than these nuts.
@@Wasabi9111 I presume not. GM engineers have learned from 2nd class Mercedes engineers who have learned in evening school from chinese wannabe engineers.
@@markplott4820 You may be correct, but I doubt the efficiency would increase dramatically if it was an EV-only design. (I have an ICE-based EV - Kia Niro EV - and it has 112 eMPG combined). I suggest the reason for the poor efficiency is that Mercedes believes its target customer base simply does not place priority on that.
@@markplott4820It is definitely not fully ICE based EV. Built in an old ICE factory sure, but you cannot call such a specialized platfrom based on ICE.
@@mikadavies660 maybe do some research, there is a lot of videos, reports and you should also use common sense. Tesla glues a lot of parts and they fall off, they also use a lot of cheap plastic and aluminum instead of steel and high quality composites. Only the outer shell is steel panels, but they are literally just hanging on plastic clips and aluminum. Tesla has embarrassing build quality, especially on the 100k(!) cybertrucks. Only uneducated people would buy that for this kind of money. The Mercedes EQE SUV and EQS SUV have way more quality engineering and build quality
Check the latest Edmunds video. The Cybertruck is a POS and so much worse than EVs from premium manufacturers like Mercedes. And this is by far not the first video to show the myriads of issues and failures of the Cybertruck and it's also not Teslas only vehicle with massive build quality and software issues. All of them cost way too much money for what they offer. The EV market has evolved and devleoped very quickly and Tesla is still stuck in the early days.
It’s for ride quality. It allows them to drive like they have no anti-roll bar over bumps (allows the individual wheels to respond to bumps independently) but with an anti-roll bar around corners. All modern EVs have a low CG but all also have at least front anti roll bars.
If you actually have owned an EV you’d know that as a daily driver, you almost never have to deal with charging. You wake up every morning to full range. Carry on wasting your time going to a pump once a week, which you’re guaranteed to need to do with your ICE. Most people with 125k to drop on a car will have a 2nd car for long road trips. Convenience of an EV as a daily is unmatched
@@shckltnebayWhy do people with no real life experience always scream loudest about any given "problem" they have never ever experienced themselves? Thats plain stupid, sorry

I honestly look forward to these underbody inspections.
They will not last long enough for their first appointment after 3 years.
Well, if a jackstand fails he can just lift it up with one arm and slide it back in place!
💪
🦾
Great build quality and smart engineering, as expected from Mercedes-Benz.
Sorry mate but did you even watch the video? Every chinese brand is better packaged and finished than this obviously electrified fossil. And i mean fossil in the most derogatory way.
The entire EQ line is throwaway vehicles to lease for 3 years. I cannot imagine anyone getting one out of warranty.
What a nonsense. You must be referring to cheap Tesla build quality, but not to Mercedes-Benz.
I was about to say the same but usually get the beating. Who knows as in one generations grandkids will ask: Did they really build cars in Germany when you were young?
Great Cut Mate. Thanks
Under ramp, great show and tell.
Like if you want to see Chinese EV breakdown 😮😮
Can you do a comparison of the EQE thermal management system in view of the recent fire in South Korea.
Thanks!
No problem!
Any similar Mercedes with just a beefed up bumper for sorb?
👍👍👍👍
Best presenter with a car making most engineers asking: Why?
Gimme a plaid
No, Even the koreans are better than that contraption. 3 and Y, maybe even CT are good. Then many Chinese and Koreans, then germans, then Stellantis then Ford, then GM, then Plaid. Plaid is fast but nothing else.

The weight is insane
No, that is german. Take a look at WWII Mercedes or Horch aka Audi.
@@wolfgangpreier9160 the Germans make plenty of light hatchbacks and sedans, a golf 8.5 is 1335 kg or under 3000lbs, they don't only make heavy cars

what has happened to the Yasa axial flux motors that Mercedes said were to be fitted to AMG spec performance EVs?

Obviously nothing.
@@Aztasu Wishful thinking 😂🤣👍

Legacy parts bin.
The rear underbody panel screws into that bracket
@@s600biturbo - the AMG EQE suv has brackets supporting MORE brackets .
needs to lower PART count.
I have to disagree about the gear-looking balljoint nuts at around 3:00. There is significant distance to accommodate a normal castle nut within the diameter of the brake rotor, and you can see that the tie rod ends extends further than these nuts.
DELETING parts is the BEST policy.
I am guessing the special nut on the front steering knuckle is to discourage DIY repairs as you now need a special tool to remove it.
Either that or lazy engineering where they couldn't package everything so had to make their own fastener design
cutsall.
Jordan t2000
Looks like an EV designed by ICE vehicle engineer. Worst packaging we’ve seen in YEARS.
see - FUD mex-e.........lol.
Haha. I wonder if the Gm ultimun is any better as it’s a mess under the hood.
More like made to build on old ICE lines
@@Wasabi9111 I presume not. GM engineers have learned from 2nd class Mercedes engineers who have learned in evening school from chinese wannabe engineers.
Sorry, this car has a shockingly low 74 eMPG (combined)(!!!) and a 235 range.....must do better.
NOT really surprising , as this is an ICE based BEV.

After being thoroughly disappointed about the quality watching the interior video, this was no better. Mercedes, what are you doing?
A ton of money for an SUV.... I would buy the Cybertruck all day long. Better technology and useful in more ways.
Cybertruck is huge compared to this 😂
Cybertruck is build way way cheaper and is falling apart very easily
@@Aztasu In your personal experience....?

Holy f that packaging is stupid. Imagine the additional cost if you are rear ended...
Exactly. Parts from MB..
Battery pack, complete wiring, suspension. I guess about 150k?
Electric anti-roll bar? Presumably it rolls like a pig on bends without it!
It really shouldn't be that bad with the low center of gravity..
@@rkan2 Then they would not need a antirollbar. Only ICE needs such things.

Mercedes Benz has fallen off. Their current interiors will horribly and their ev designs are some of the worst out there, especially for the price.
The EQE sedan looks like they converted a minivan into a fastback
MUNRO - the Mercedes AMG EQE suv is already out of date , and to reliant on Horse & Buggy technology.
For $125k Im not going to deal with CHARGING
Charging things is easy for most people
@@nathansuss Why should I have to deal with that if I can afford a 100k plus car?
