I bet it's a nice car. I bet it's also years away from ready availability in the US. EQC was supposed to be here in 2019, and still hasn't shown up. Mercedes does some good work, but selling electrics in the US does not appear to be high on their list of things to do.

Maybe I'll get one when they're in stock. My four-year Ford Options should be about up by then.

Interior looks amazing.

Exterior though? Meh. May be the ugliest Mercedes in the lineup. Definitely getting a “Honda Accord” vibe.

Interesting you should say that. When I viewed @ChasingCoral's photos, the early 2010's era Civic was the first thing I thought of.

I had the opportunity to sit in one of these beauties last night at a neighboring EA charger. There's a test drive event this weekend at the King of Prussia Mall (PA) and another next Thursday-Saturday at the Tysons Corner Mall (VA near DC). I won't lie. I think I'd trade my Mach E for one. Of course, most folks would since it's twice the price!

Only about 20 of these in the US at this point and I saw most of them.

Any more info/link to the event in Tysons mall next weekend? Would love to take a look at one in person! I agree the outside is not very pleasing to the eye.. but that interior.. WOW!

If I were considering that price range and not in a rush I would also look at the Lucid Air. Looks pretty impressive feature and styling-wise.
The Lucid Air is beautiful, but I can't help but wonder how much it would cost to replace the glass if it ended up being cracked because of a rock strike.

I think the interior in the EQS is amazing, exterior is boring though, even ugly.

And it was not that impressive to drive, I test drove one before I ordered my Mach E and I actually thought the Ford drove way better. Nothing special about the merc, especially considering the difference in price.

If you have the money to buy the Lucid Air in the first place, you probably don’t care.

The Civic and Accord look good also, what's the problem?

The problem of EQS is that it is too long. 205 inch long.
Other than highway cruising I don't think it will be practical for anything else.

Because they look good, but they don’t look great.

I wouldn’t want my $100,000 Mercedes looking like a $25,000 Honda.

It isn’t a compliment.

Again, probably the ugliest Mercedes out there.

The concept looked much better-
