Carl is like having an automotive TED Talk only more interesting. He’s terrific-more please!
Carl is a great guy he looks at all of those details and explains very well what's going on, I like it!
The intermediate positions of the tailgate are a convenient feature for low garages, less for transporting lumber.
...and stopping the movement when lowering is a safety feature.
And carrying large Christmas (holiday) trees!
Carl, the tailgate staggered lowering feature is most likely to help prevent rain intrusion during a loading event in inclement weather.
i think it could be a safety feature so it would not crush child or something ?
very clear review..carl it just goes to show how clear top design varies between marks.. thank you
Glad you liked it
The styling reminds me a lot of Star Trek The Next Generation! Same large black glass control panels, same beige or cream leather and carpeting, wood trim, uncomplicated lines with RGB light lines accentuating the panels... To me it feels like a modern take of the bridge of the Enterprise D.
Funny, i'm a big fan of TNG, but i don't se the connection at all. That old steering is not TNG.
Being an upholsterer myself, I can tell you all that Carl is a very knowledgeable man.
This is hands own, the best review of an electric Mercedes Benz interior. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Wow, thanks!
Carl was amazing as always! Love seeing him explain things!
Looking Good Carl!
Carl is the nuts! Always enjoy his content. Are we examining the fancy deckchairs on the Titanic?
Thanks Carl for this very informative presintation giving a deailed look at design, materials and functionality.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Carl, very appreciated observational/ practical critique, not presented in any other forum.
it's all FLUFF.
does luxury grant performance or better spec ? NOPE.
how about sales ? NOPE.
model S outsold EQS and everyone else in Q1 22, and April.
Carl does a great job in presentation - excellent video! - look forward to his next...
Very thorough, well done.
Thanks for the Review of Interior, good follow up to the Las Vegas by Night Dash.
Carl your insight is appreciated..........I like the positional lift back.
Thank you
Carl looking fiiiine!!!!😍😍🤣😉
ZZ Top, Sharp Dressed Man.
Carl, superb as always! 👏👏👏
MUNRO - " HIGH TECH is the Ultimate LUXURY " - ELON.
We heard you the first time
Great information Carl!
'61 Caddy is a different type of luxury 🔥 great video
Appreciate it!
Wry nice constructive review. Loved the comments on the 90deg stitch! Never thought of that! Well done!
Carl: 'Notice the lighting'
Me: How could you NOT!
In another video from Munro on the EQS they showed the range of programming options for the internal lightbars so quite a lot of flexibility, the default purple and blue does seem pleasing to the eye and matches the IP
Mess up there, when you are not even making sure you line up with other videos
64 colors. Multiple programs of active lighting. Its has more lighting efeects than a "gentlemens" club.
I love Carl pointing out the design points and decisions, bringing to light how early in a design process a decision like flocking/wrapping/molding something like a cup holder is pretty valuable. I know these are all things that people watching Munro Live sees when they’re sitting in the car, but the addition of *requires a design change early* shows the level of commitment to a style vs commitment to design.
It was immensely poignant of his to pose the question: Would you rather pay for the part? Or the design and engineering that goes into the part(or lack thereof).
This view of the back seat, “making the most of a bad situation” is going to be extremely common I think. I know I would be uncomfortable for more than 20 minutes or so if my legs were unsupported behind my knees like his were sitting there.
Light pipes and floating bezels are all hype for me. I noticed they even do it in the hatchback area too. It’s a bit try hard of a look for me… RGB in PC builds are not classy, they aren’t classy in this merc either.
I havnt been around this vehicle yet, but I perceive it to be slotting into an electric S class slot. If that’s the case, MANY of the “new hotness” features in an S class of all generations don’t age well; I feel like this will be more of the same.
Thank you!
Very informative!
Must be a fancy car, as Carl is wearing a suit and tie
I started laughing at the car salesman look.
He should dress like this in all his videos from now on!
no comment.
@@ItalianRain2 I get the impression Carl and car salespeople would not get along!
@@paullester2535 Haha yeah. The car salesman who says what he likes and DOESNT like. The salesman we need.
he didn't know you could change the color, but knows mores about how it's made than I ever will....awesome video, thank you!
You are so welcome!
I guess Carl is now a salesman for Mercedes
I suspect many Mercedes salespersons watching this superb video with great interest. 😁
I found this video fascinating. It makes me appreciate design and engineering.
The more interior decoration components you pay for the more opportunity for them to design a date into the look. This affords them the opportunity in the not-so-distant future to make this feel and look obsolete. A clean, not cluttered design has a better feel for longer so the intelligent consumer will deny their inner magpie.
Well done!
Carl's all spiffied up for his Mercedes talk!
Really detailed review, nicely done. Carl is the real deal!
As an MB customer, the user interface and the styling is very familiar to me even though I have owned models far lower in the pecking order. The approach to styling is very similar even in a C class, though obviously with more detail, better materials. As for the user interface, when I see the interior lighting swirling around, I would know exactly where to go to tone it down -- and I think most MB owners do exactly that. I know Sandy likes to approach each vehicle as a "renter" would; fair enough, but I do think having some familiarity with the vehicle is helpful in thinking about the owner experience (as opposed to a casual one off encounter) with the car.
Carl is brilliant and an excellent analyst. He’s a major asset to Munro, so please have him on channel more often.
Looking good Carl !!!
Perhaps they could move te controls for the back passengers to the roof. Only keep the vents down. They have a big beam in te roof, so don’t worry about full glass roof
Carl, when you first sat in that car it looked like it fit you like a glove. You looked great in it. Fantastically informative as always. Love your reviews and evaluations. I’m a Tesla fan, but a Mercedes owner, so I appreciate this content.
Very good presentation.
Thank you!
No grab handles here too. That's one feature I think is missing in Teslas.
Thank you Carl for sharing your skills and knowledge, it's always a pleasure.
I like the open space under the console. If you are hauling long lumber that sticks out the back you can put a hold down strap around the console and the lumber!!
nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it
@@MunroLive My parents had a 1962 Cadillac convertible it was a beautiful fun car! lots of good memories.
Nice touch wearing the suit.
My experience with deep bins--the bottom is mostly useless and tends to get filled with forgotten junk. 16:30
Similar to a tool box where multiple shallow drawers should dominate so all items are visible and accessible without removing anything on top. A minority of drawers need to be deeper for items that won't fit a shallow tray.
(((as a kid I built a 1-ton service truck bed with one of my main tool boxes accessible only from the top and near 2 ft deep, turned out the bottom 2/3rds were essentially useless, you didn't know what was down there after a few months and would have to pull all the stuff out of the top to access which is extremely inconvenient, inefficient)))
Your judgments on the car are spot on from your perspective. 100%. From a German perspective EVERYTHING you questioned makes 100% sense.
Trust me.
well done 👍
Thank you 👍
Its great to see expertiese reviewing a car and not just to hear big screen good like so many other "reviews" (not just on the eqs)
Carl is excellent!
OMG! Carl in suits & tie! Smooooooth😁
1:50 I know what you mean. I love the Chris Craft classic wood boats too!
When I saw Carl at the beginning, my day was immediately brighter and I can't wait to watch this part...he is the god of speach ,And he looked soo combed and tidy this time.🤣🤣
In Europe these cars are even more expensive and you need to to pretty fully loaded just to get the hyperscreen. And once you've seen it, the regular dash is just that of an E-Class or the like.
Actually right now the hyperscreen is only available as standard in the 5804matic+. It was available as option for the other engine variant, but probably due to material shortage they needed to remove it. It will come back though, since it's like printing money. Lots of people will get the base variant and option for the HS
German opulence at its best. Carl, you could be a superb real estate agent as well. Thank-you for sharing this special car.
Carl tearing it up!
Munro should teardown the Merc!
Some people just love 'luxurious appointments' and a luxury look and feel and MB has a status they like to project. Not me, but I know some who that is the defining reason to choose a car. Also that backseat screen could have a small remote control (or 2) like an Amazon Firestick that controls a menu on the screen.
I think there is a place in the arm rest where you can put a tablet, so possibly could control from that.
Carl makes excellent points. Many of us may notice several things if we do the same. But not all, and probably very few of the subtle ones. I really enjoyed it.
On the whole, I don't like mood lighting that much. Yeah, it's moderately pleasing, but I can't quite shed the idea that innovation in more important areas might be beneficial. Both the EQS and, yes my ID.3, have mood lighting but no frunk. What would you rather have? I'd rather have the frunk. And there's space under my bonnet, if only VW had moved a few things to accommodate one. Under the EQS bonnet - actually it doesn't open. So limited storage overall.
Those air vents remind me of many cars designs, going way back to the Ford Cortina Mk I. Hardly innovative, but done with style. Worth the money? I prefer it all nicely tucked away.
And what's with the headroom? Why do many manufacturers insist on having a slab rear seat these days? Surely you can lower the back portion of the seat to gain an inch of headroom, side and above, and better thigh support? But of course, then it's slightly harder to get out of, and we must focus on our customer's age bracket. Must we? Yeah. Make them uncomfortable so that they can easily slide out of the seat at the first opportunity.🧐
Carl throws down the gauntlet. No more quilted vests and jeans. Sharpen the dress code Sandy.
The partially closing boot could be used if it is raining, reducing items in the boot getting wet.
The accent lighting is RGB and fully customizable for color
What's better than Carl? Carl in a suit!!
Great job Carl. As for the lumber hauling, you should have known my brother-in-law. He hauled lumber on his Jaguar convertible more than once. You just never know LOL!!
With all that function of the rear hatch I wonder if it could be used as a spoiler... or maybe active aero under braking lol.
All jokes aside, really well done video showing the intricate details of the interior design.
Now I understand luxury
Excellent analysis. Let me explain the hatch power system. The hatch is not "multiposition". If you tried to drive away with it open all sorts of alarms go off. You can however put into memory how far it opens to avoid hitting the ceiling in your garage area. In Europe and elswhere people park in cramped spaces where headroom is tight and a fully opening hatch may hit something. Finally, mercedes has a lot of lawyers that have advised that a one touch closing hatch (despite having pinch sensors) is a bad idea. Thus in all benzes you have to hold the button down till it closes.
And this is where a luxury legacy manufacturer shines! It’s beautiful. (Though never for me)
Carl - thanks for a very informative review. But, did you say how tall you are? You said 'big' but how big? Since your head was too close to roof in back seat and a little too close in front seat, it would be good to know. And how did you fit in the Model S?
About the hatch, I don't think that is a feature. They took out the possibility to auto close the hatch from inside due to injury risks, they might analyzed and scored the feature as ASIL A. So driver has to pay attention and you do that by making the driver keeping button pressed.
When you close the haych from the back of the car...you are there, you pay attention that no one puts his head in the hatch.
hopefully that's RGB leds and it will be user configurable. i like the led trim but stuff like that you should have a nice factory option but give the user ability to set when it's on and what color it will be. bonus for user color fades and animations. i dont know much about this car but looks nice. tesla still for me though.
I could have used that locking rear hatch on my Model Y the other day, used an old ethernet cable to hold the hatch down ;)
That tailgate. I had a chuckle.
I would think that the lighting is or should be able to be adjusted to different colors with the teck in RGB colors.
That interior is a work of art.
FLUFF, won't increase sales, more expensive to build, more weight, slower car, less PERFORMANCE. ha ha ha ha ha
What your opinion/ view on the coat hooks on the pillars? Looks odd to me.
WE LIKE CARL.
🤗GREAT TO SEE 👀 CARL DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION 😁
I’m thinking pretty much like Carl …Love ❤️ a white interior ( more work..but totally worth it )
And NOT impressionistic or abstract art …SIMPLE CLEAN 👍…love ❤️ the simplicity of the model S, AND I love ❤️ the design of the the EQS …I have had it it in other vehicles and IMHHO …it’s the next best thing,easy to clean and very functional …THANKS CARL FOR SHARING THIS WITH US 🤗😍😍😍
It's the kind of car that if you have to ask the price you can't afford it.
I wonder about the rear hatch can it stop go when opening?
Regarding your head room in the rear seat, had they enlarged the headliner opening that would give you an inch or more head room as it was the rear of the headliner that is just a few inches too far forward.
Thanks Carl, nicely done!
We own a new E400 Cabriolet which has many of the same interior finishes as EQS. It screams luxury especially with off-white interior.
While the E series has 50% less ambient lighting and no hyper screen, everything else is similar to EQS. We love the massage seats and fragrance dispenser. When spending over $100K with Tesla, these amenities should be available. I don’t like wasted space of EQS air vents but understand they are quicker to adjust than Tesla.
Wife & I frequently make comparisons between her luxurious Mercedes & my minimalistic, new Tesla model S. EQS is too much fling for me, so planning to order EQE as soon as it’s announced.
One of the complaints about a Tesla is that it doesn't have a spare or a place to put one. Does this car? If not, the complainers should take note that you don't get a spare at $130K either.
Also, what's in the "toolbox" in the rear trunk under compartment?
I'm not aware of any EV that offers a spare. For that matter, most $1M+ cars don't have a spare either. Many ICE cars have also ditched the spare. The tire technology keeps geting better, and no spare frees up more storage space and increases range & MPG by reducing weight.
@@tesla_tap Agreed. I'm sort of tired of hearing the ICE crowd crowing about the ICE Makers including a spare when Tesla doesn't as if this is a show stopper to owning an electric car. I actually purchased a spare with a convenient carrying bag and I carry it when I'm not taxed for luggage space. I can gamble on the few times when all the space is utilized.
Almost all new cars do not have a spare. As far as I know no EV has one. Battery space, of course.
If you don't like the color of the ambient lighting, it is easy to change. Just say, Hey Mercedes, change my ambient lighting to red (or any color you choose). I love my EQS. I have the tan interior and it has already suffered from a coffee stain but it was easy to clean with resolve. Although you can lower the hatch to any point, I am unlikely to be driving with anything sticking out the back of my car. Overall, a good review. Thanks.
A number of features are likely shared (or will be) with other vehicles in the Merc lineup, and the feature may make more sense in those (such as the analogue tailgate positioning, probably developed for their SUVs). Fewer parts to manage from a sourcing standpoint and you get volume cost savings.
It's interesting that they always mention this during Tesla teardowns, but you hear them discuss/consider the idea far less with competing brands.
Mercedes mentioned having to go above and beyond to reduce low frequency NVH from the hatchback and electric motors. Did you find specific examples of this?
I always learn something when Carl reviews. Thanks.
Glad to hear it!
@@MunroLive - while I like the job MUNRO does, seems to me CARL is the most useless of the MUNRO team, luxury aspect is all Marketing & Fluff.
luxury won't make car sell better, if performance is junk. Tesla already smoking EQS , others in sales.
@@markplott4820 It's okay! Even I as a Tesla investor you can watch and bear with it! Mercedes is just doing what they can do best: selling part numbers. ;)
To keep up the art analogy, this is the Thomas Kincaid of EVs.
The locking powered rear hatch is weird. I know many people including myself that manually push the hatch closed. Seems like that would break the lifting mechanism.
Make sure you get the "hood open" and take a look under there. You can videos and instructions on how to do that it's pretty easy.
There really is nothing to see. A big air filter, two coolant tanks and a 12V booster battery connection. To see the cool stuff you have to lift the body off the chassis which Munro wont get to do on this loaner. Yes its very easy to open. One screw and a plastic tab and the opening handle is right where its supposed to be. The no opening hood thing is ridiculously stupid, out of control, lawyers afraid of dummies getting electrocuted.
In northern Europe you see a lot of people driving expensive German or Swedish, technically luxury cars, and doing their own renovations using whatever car they happen to have to carry whatever they need...
Could you please talk about wobbling backrests on the front seats. I remember from my internship time at Audi design that this was always an issue they wanted to get right at any price. Mercedes doesn’t seem to care.
The hatch apparently doesn't automatically close due to some legal problems, as closing the hatch from the seat means you can't see if something is getting crushed by the hatch. However the button on the hatch closes it when pressed, because you can make sure it's clear.
Not sure what legal problems. The Model S hatch can be closed from the front seats or the fob. There is a sensor in the hatch - if there is resistance, it will reverse. Seems like a basic saftey feature.
@@tesla_tap Of course all automatic tail gates have a sensor that stops them, but having to hold the button down, means the hatch is intentionally being closed, and not for example by an accident. This moves all responsibility to the user.
The half position of the hatch is there because in European Garages you might not have that much room over the rear of your car.
Carl goes dapper for the EQS interior review.
The rear center "screen"/control place to be is obvious. On the rear head rest. One screen on each side for back seat passengers. Then it is in eye level for entertaining too.
The only way my broke self will ever enjoy these cars.
Great Video
Thanks!
Not the guy I would have thought of for Purse Management depth of knowledge.
I bet he has a very happy wife :)
Excellent analysis from Carl
Carl , all Fluff.
Munro and Associates
The interior bling and lighting looks like a cheap fun-house ride. As mentioned below, looks like a pimps ride. My Model 3LR to be delivered in September.
is 135 the starting price or including some options? Because the choice here is model S plaid or Merc EQS. no rear screen.....again.
The base price of the 450 RWD was 102, the 580 was 119. Like all other EVs those prices were recently increased by around 7k due to the price of batteries spiking this year. When introduced the eqs 580 was actually cheaper than a similarly equipped s580!
Design comments>
1. the back seat controls could be placed on the back of the front seats somewhat recessed for crash injury avoidance.
2. the hatch should open partially as you might be parked under a low-lying roof and you wouldn't like to dent it.
