    I have sold my Tesla Model X after using it for three years, Now i have the EQS 580 ❤ I really love it soo much more than Tesla X. You mentioned that regenerative braking doesn't stop in EQS !! this information is not correct you just need to go to the setting and disable the Creep mode and the car will stop completely when braking. The cup holder at the back set is there you just need to press it one more time and it will come out . Range in EQS is 600 to 650 km , i don't know from where you got your data ?!! . Don't understand me wrong , i love Tesla but after using EQS for one year ua-cam.com/video/bJ4EoTpRM1E/v-deo.html i can say it is better than Tesla in many things. One of the thing i hated in My Tesla was the Falcon Wings doors, it is really dangerous for Children, it bumped my head several times and my mother too, it is not a practical doors, you have to be careful every time some one enter the car. the Range was 400Km 👎 the cargo space is good when folding the back sets but if you brake !!! all the staff and the grocery will fly to you to the front set !!!. the HEPA filter in Tesla is not good as the EQS.

    We’ve owned two Tesla model S since 2017. Tesla really isn’t a luxury car like Mercedes. Therefore, we have the EQS 580 for 2nd home. There’s a lot to love about MB such as hyperscreen that spans entire dashboard. Rear wheel steering provides a very short turning radius and bird’s eye camera makes parking very easy avoiding curb rash.
    Massage, sunroof, ambient lighting, quietness, pillows, & fragrance really pampers all occupants. My sedan is getting 375-400 mi range and one pedal driving is almost as good as Tesla. Adaptive cruise control is better than Tesla with lane changing as standard.
    On the negative side, I hate the start/stop button and there’s no walk away auto locking. Lack of a frunk is disappointing. DC fast charging is only 200 kW and AC charging only 9.6 kW.

    Thanks for the review, Kim.
    For $107K there are too many disappointments. Mercedes clearly has loaded the car with WOW features in order to make up for the lack of what make it a really desirable car.
    My first disappointment is having to purchase through a Mercedes dealership. (Ugh!)
    285 mile range is a non-started for road trips which is strange since it is a very quiet riding car.
    CCS charging network dependency is also a big negative for road trips.
    They also put the charge port on the wrong side for future access to Tesla Superchargers.
    No frunk and small cargo volume tells me the EQS is an ICE crossover (not a clean slate design)
    A start button is an indication of non-integrated electronics.
    Portrait screen is not optimal for real-time information display.
    Lack of tech features like camping mode, sentry mode, Navigate on Autopilot, internet, games, FSD, etc.
    Some people will be attracted by the heightened sense of luxury, and you can call me a snob, but to my way of thinking, a car without a built in chauffeur is not a luxury automobile.

    Great review! Really day-to-day perspective which is very refreshing. For me its not a real comparison - the EQS much higher quality and superior in any way - except if you need the Tesla charging network (which will Mercedes use now as well), which would be a deciding factor for me. Since I live in Europe with a good CCS network - it's not a deal breaker for me. The EQS is a luxury car- the X is an appliance and people mover, for what it is - the X is way too expensive.

    I know it’s an EV comparison but for me the question that should be asked is EQS vs GLS. The Model X is simply the better EV, the EQS is the better luxury car. But at that price is being an OK very expensive electric (EQS) better than being a Great ICE vehicle (GLS)? Ultimately I think the EQS in the next 3-5 years will be an amazing choice for both luxury AND Ev needs.

    i just got my Model X a week ago, and what i noticed is the wind noise on the highway... on side streets the model x is quiet.. but, as soon as i go on the highway and go to 60-70 miles per hour, there is significant wind noise... i guess my Tesla was not well insulated for high speed driving... i wonder if this is something Tesla can fix ....

    You videos are always terrific, and point out the things I am interested in knowing without digressing into unnecessary details. I got a 2023 Model X three weeks ago, after driving a Y and a 3. I aim very happy with the car's upgrades from the Y. While the Mercedes is interesting, I think I would find all the buttons and lights distracting. I love the clean look of all Teslas, and don't ever want to have to deal with buttons again. I can, however, understand how the Mercedes' features would be more entertaining for people with kids. Isn't it wonderful that we are getting to the point where there are more and more options for electric vehicles? Keep up the good work!

    Tesla Fan here and sold 2018 Model X and replaced it with EQS 450 4Matic.
    No complaints.
    Things I miss…. No Frunk in the EQS.
    Otherwise EQS is better in every way.
    Thing I don’t miss. The FWD on the X are a disaster and not family friendly for our needs. Try parking the X in a parking garage, you’ll soon realize FWD doors will not open all the way and having access to kids in the back seat is impossible.

I still think the Model X wins for me in most categories but I do believe that ride quality improvements for the Model X and S would really take them to that next level.

Very disappointed in FSD. 11.4.4 sucks. The fact that you can never call anyone. When I started with Tesla I had the numbers and contact info for the head of service and Battery development.
