MERCEDES EQS 580 ROAD TRIP FROM DALLAS TX TO CORPUS CHRISTI TX! IT'S GREAT!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on a road trip from Dallas to Corpus Christi in a 2023 Mercedes EQS 580 SUV, highlighting its exceptional comfort, luxury, and quiet ride. Despite the freezing temperatures (below 40°F), the vehicle performs admirably, though efficiency is impacted by the cold and new, less efficient tires. The reviewer notes a significant drop in range compared to previous tires, estimating a 10-14% decrease. The car's navigation and charging planning are praised for their flexibility, and the reviewer opts for Tesla Superchargers due to perceived reliability over EVgo. While the EQS excels in luxury and driving dynamics, the reviewer repeatedly expresses a desire for Tesla's Full Self-Driving capability, which they deem a 'game changer' and a feature the EQS lacks, despite its superior interior refinement and amenities like massaging seats and a fragrance system. The reviewer concludes that while the EQS is a fantastic luxury vehicle for road trips, Tesla's FSD makes them a preferred choice for long-distance, autonomous driving.
