Anyone considering a Mercedes Benz EQB?

Wow, this even stumped google!

Lol. Taddiwac is what my 3 year old used to call my Caddy ATS I foolishly bought used. It seemed more appropriate than impugning the Native American Tribe as Detroit does….

You sold me at “disco coke whore” I really need to be rolling up to da club in one of those ?
Can I use my X-Plan to buy one of these “disco coke whores”? ?
All joking aside, between MB, Lucid, Cadillac, and the Genesis (does Audi even make any EVs, or just their toys with ~ 100 mile range or something silly like that), Lincoln had better plan on bringing their A game when they get into the EV space.

I also Wonder how Dodge is going to satisfy the Mopar heads with 1000 hp dodge electric challenger when they tell them that if they lean on it the range goes from 280 to 80 miles. If it catches on fire who will put it out?

saw a Tesla s burn up hear near Troon North. Took the firefighters 4 1/2 hours to put it out. Hazmat suits on the Wrecker guys. Kinda Scary….

EQB 335 km range is only 200 miles. 3.1 mi/kWh…..no pricing yet, just estimates. https://ev-database.org/car/1493/Mercedes-EQB-350-4MATIC

That is a very poor range for that price.

imo, there are only two SUV ish vehicles that can pretty much guarantee 250 miles in the summer. MME and Model Y

I was looking at the EQC but would like more info about features etc.
The MB line of EVs is very interesting though.

Me too, but that was a long time ago. Mercedes delayed US sales for years - it was supposed to arrive in early 2020, now they're saying 2025 or something. If it ever does show up, I don't expect I'll still be alive.

Of course if you Google Rolls-Royce Spectre you’ll find a E Rolls is also Coming in 2023.

It’s time to contact your regional Rolls-Royce ambassador. Only he can secure one for you

Burp!

Genesis GV70 looks fire too. Any intel on release timeframe there?

I think it’s available in South Korea now but I don’t know about US availability.

It’s all a matter of perspective. I suspect early hominids were shocked at the destructive capabilities of small campfires and used the PPE of their era when tending them. Now, we have (had?) Burning Man ?

No, EQB.

Still in pre-order territory. Deliveries around August '22 according to my local dealer. Same price range as MME and no markup.

I already have a MME pre-order from November, but this waiting game / lack of transparency is killing me, haha.

The Audi Q4 Etron is a similar EV to consider compared to the EQB.

I'm getting 270+ miles in my Ioniq 5 awd

I think they were just referring to specific EV’s EPA ratings of over 270 miles. Also with the I5/EV6 being so new to the market and not readily available yet, they were probably forgotten. You should see 18% above the 254 EPA rating in the summertime, so expect on a really nice day to see 299 miles or so. I hope the EQB ratings we currently see are not the European test methods……

Yes, both cars are similarly unavailable in the US.

i didn't include it since i was comparing SUV-ish vehicles. afaik, Ioniq5, while marketed as a CUV, does not have the same ride height as MME or Model Y.

note: ride height is not the same as ground clearance.

I've been a MB driver since 2003, currently driving an AMG GLA45. IMHO MB dropped the ball with the EQC. Would have definitely considered it. EQB looks too much like a Cube for me, and as others have said has poor range, etc. They overdid the tech on the EQS IMHO, plus the price is out of this family doc's range. Waiting on a GTPE that was ordered 12/26.
