MERCEDES EQS 580 SUV ROAD TRIP FROM TULSA, OK TO DALLAS, TX!! IT'S GREAT!!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on a road trip from Tulsa, OK to Dallas, TX in the 2023 Mercedes EQS 580 SUV, finding it to be an exceptional road-tripping machine. The vehicle's charging capabilities are highlighted as a major strength, with the EQS maintaining high charging rates for extended periods, leading to efficient and relatively short charging stops. The reviewer was particularly impressed with the Plug & Charge functionality at Electrify America, which provided complimentary charging for a significant duration, saving considerable cost. Real-world range estimates were found to be accurate, often exceeding the EPA rating, especially when not driving at consistently high speeds (80-90 mph). The reviewer praises the vehicle's comfort, space, luxury, and advanced technology, including the impressive augmented reality heads-up display and intuitive navigation system. While the sticker price is considered high, the reviewer acquired the vehicle certified pre-owned at a significantly lower cost and intends to maximize its use. Minor criticisms include the lack of a heat pump in the 2023 model, which might affect winter range, and the occasional rough road experience. Overall, the EQS 580 SUV is deemed a superior road trip vehicle compared to Tesla and Rivian models due to its charging performance and comfort.
