MERCEDES EQS, TESLA MEETS RUNWAY, VOLKSWAGEN ID BUZZ, POLESTAR O2, A 1992 RANGE ROVER?? EPISODE 42

EV Channels Review

The Out of Spec Podcast team discusses a variety of vehicles, highlighting the Mercedes EQS 450+ as a comfortable, quiet, and long-range cruiser, achieving an impressive 345 miles on a single charge. However, its driving dynamics, particularly the brake pedal feel and rear seat comfort, are criticized as significantly lacking compared to combustion S-Class counterparts. The reviewer also notes issues with charging infrastructure limitations and the high cost of the optional 'hyperscreen'. The episode also touches on the upcoming VW ID. Buzz, with enthusiasm for its stylish design and potential as a practical, emotional vehicle, though US availability is still two years away. The Mazda CX-60 is briefly reviewed, with the panel finding its design awkward and a departure from Mazda's recent aesthetic successes.
