4 tires Goodyear Eagle F1 265/40R21 105H =1200 $ in Turkey, so MB service tire prices highly expensive. But sometimes you have to buy it from an authorized service instead of a tire dealer if you are still under warranty conditions
I have made a tough decision to say goodbye to my 23 EQS 580 due the frustration from the dealerships in my area. Tried two different dealerships in my area to update the computer software but failed with very painful experience to the point that I would take a huge lost to say goodbye to Mercedes. Switched to another German brand that can provide me better customer service. The car itself is a very good car, and I enjoyed driving it every sec on the road!
@@trrl87 I'm sorry to hear that!😱 Just proves that the human touch is a very important aspect of ownership. I wish you the best with your next vehicle 👍‼️
Here are some good news from my Mercedeses: I own a 2007 and a 2008 E 320 BLUETEC diesels. One in the US (that was by accident, if I bought a Merc for the US it would be an S class sedan or, better, coupe), and the 2008 in my summer home overseas. One of the two keys in the 2008 was acting up, so I took it to an authorized Merc Service shop that is conveniently located just opposite the supermarket I go do my weekly shopping. As I suspected, it needed two new batteries (each twice the size of my watch battery, which the scalpers in the USA charged me $12.50 while the previous time it only cost $5.). The helpful mechanic served me on the spot, no wait, found the new batteries, installed them, tested the key and made sure it worked fine, and when I asked him what I owed them he =said NOTHING. Not even the cost of the two batteries? No, NOTHING. You can be sure that if and when the car needs anything, I will choose THEIR SHOP.
I have a 22 450+ and I'm using an Ottocast play2 video pro. I plugged it up in my center console USBC and it came on the main screen to choose the OS you want to use( Android or iOS). It just works brilliantly.
Hello and thank you for your videos. I'm very interested in buying one of these. I wanted to know how much of the cool tech in your car is subscription based. Could you speak on that?
you may have been screwed by your dealer ,, when I have bent rims on my EQS they take the dents out if all the pot holes we have in New York its regular occurrence ,they don't replace the rims and make no attempt to
Of course ,, until you think about it,, why not just ask them why this crazy , ridiculous, lunatic , eqs owner who has 15 Mercedes over the years ,, but now has lost his mind sakes if your not losing air could the dents be taken out with spending ,, how much $1800 on 2 rims,,, your posting this ,, you should advise people correctly so they they don’t get misled
Oh and the crazy New Yorker foregot to mention when I rotated my tires last month and my dealer rep. Gave me my invoice there was no charge for removing my dents ,or rotating as part of my free first service ,, and will be more than happy to show you the paper work ,, and the only time I did have replace a rim was when a steel rod went through the tire and through the rim which was stuck in the rim
Bought back by MBUSA means they paid you with negotiated price? My eqs580 gave me many problems. Charge port burned after first month, $4000 out of pocket fix. MB does not warranty to charge port. (EA reimbursed me but claimed no fault after frustrating 3 months). Car was in dealer shop for a month. 3rd month, suspension air leakage. Replaced under warranty, 2 weeks. many strange warnings popped up and go. Dealer fixed some. Now got recall notice. This is 8months ownership, only 5K miles. The worst experience over 14 years with MB. Thinking to ask MB to buy back, or hire a lemon law attorney to handle it.
@@jc080996 They returned all my money plus what I had spent on the car. It was under Lemon Law. I suggest going through their buyback program first before hiring an attorney. They will send you to a third-party company called Sedgwick. They took about $4000 of what I had to receive, which was the same as a lemon law attorney retainer, so it was worth it.
@@TheAnandhan you would think that would work, but it doesn't. I'd been using it for 19 months when it stopped. Will only allow me to connect as a Bluetooth device wirelessly now. I will address it again when I take the car for my next update.

19,100 miles ? That’s it? I have 56,100 miles on my EQS 450 without any problems at all. Also my tires lasted 35,000. The best tire to buy is the Pirelli All Season for electric cars. The cost was $1,535 for all 4 tires installed with roadside protection. Much less than what it costs at any Mercedes dealer
Discount tire is one to explore. I am doing bridgestone for my replacement. SUV my tires lasted 16,000 miles. But they gave me some crappy tires when I bought the car.
Same here. 36k miles - 0 issues, bulletproof. Factory tires expired on 17k miles. Put some Micheline’s Cross-climate II, couldn’t be happier. Yes, the range dropped by 10%, but after almost 20k miles - they look like they have at least another 30k to go. Amazing handling in both rain and snow (Big Bear). Love my EQS, best S-Class I ever owned.
@@AlexSarovsky After putting the Bridgestone Alanza as Ultra on my 21inch rims - it rides better than the perelli's that were originally on it. Tons of tread for winter.
EQS Owner, I appreciate your reviews, however your assumptions re battery degradation may be flawed ( may be? ) The Mercedes capacity battery from what I’ve seen elsewhere is under rated from factory, so the “start” point isn’t 100% / 108Kw, at new the battery has a higher than rated capacity. So your battery at 98.4% may have degraded from a position higher than 100%, so the actual loss is greater than 1.6%. Another test after another say 10,000 miles using the current capacity as base line will give better clarity.
@@johnpoldo8817 all dealerships charge more. The difference is MB uses higher quality parts and the techs (at least here) really know the vehicles. I've learned that paying a little more to get it done right is worth it in the long run.
@@dan2850 totally disagree. There are small glitches, but with as complicated as the car is, and with an easy workaround, I will still take a Mercedes-Benz over any other manufacturer every time (except RR)
Buying those tires at the dealer was like doing your grocery shopping at a convenience store.
Well said.
Following your journey religiously at this point. Thanks for this! 😊

@@realson8141 that is their way of saying I asked them to look into something - the audio in the shop was hard to hear
connect the phone to your car's wifi and enable auto-join. You won't need the cable at that point.
