For all you guys complaining that your MME is becoming too common try the new Mercedes EQS, a little more rare than the Mach E.

It's a neat car, but $110k for a 5.9 second 0-60 car after you add some basics like heated steering wheel, and before even getting into AWD, you have to be reaaalllyy concerned with your image of having a more exclusive car to want that over any number of alternatives. My truck is quicker than that and can hold a lot more stuff. Just seems like all the disadvantages of an EV as far as range limits and that with none of the benefits unless you go $120k+ to get the higher performance versions.

I've watched the review videos on it and I wouldn't complain if someone just handed me the keys, but it's a very specific type of person that spends hard money on one. The SUV is definitely interesting though as we don't have a lot of options in the traditional 3 row SUV EV lineup.

If I were shopping in that price range it would be a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo all day long. Better looking, more interior room, lower starting price, 270kW charging instead of 200kW. That thing actually looks and has the specs of a luxury EV.

The front reminds me of a LEAF and the rear reminds me of a late 90's Ford Taurus. To each their own.
But, but, you will be exclusive and won't need to start a forum thread to say your car is becoming too common, police departments are buying them, too many in my town, they all look the same, etc., etc., etc.!!! šŸ˜‚

Definitely more than I want to pay but hey, that's what I think about most Mercedes, way overpriced for what you get.

Beautiful is not a word that comes to mind when I see that front end.
Looks better in person but hey, that's why we have both scrambled and fried eggs. šŸ˜‚

I wish my MME was more common. Then I'd be able to have actual in-person conversations with owners.

Not that you forum folks aren't the finest humans on earth šŸ˜‰ but it would be nice to have a face to face talk with other owners.

May need to just take some more road trips, seems a lot of the MME reviewers that go on road trips run into other MME owners at EA stations. :)
