EQE SUV - Acceleration Increase
Curious if any EQE SUV 350 owners have purchased the acceleration increase ($60/mo or $1950 permanent in US). I’m tempted and will likely try it out for a month before committing, but wanted to hear if any you bought it and if it made a noticeable difference. I assume 60hp / 1 sec improvement in 0-60 is noticeable….thanks!

@bytemaster0 mentioned in another thread that he purchased the upgrade. It sounds like he thought it was worth it. I tagged him in my response so he could chime in with his experience. A couple of people on Facebook said they also paid for the update and are really happy with it.
I'm still waiting for my car to be delivered to the dealer (hopefully this week), so I haven't purchased the speed increase, but I likely will after I have had the vehicle for a month or so.

Yes, indeed. There's a thread about the acceleration increase in the main forum. Long story short, on EQE350V4 sedan, and using a race computer to measure, I'm getting 0-60 times of 4.49 seconds, which for a base model spec is pretty decent. It also definitely helps when merging on highways when you find that someone isn't going to be courteous in a tight cloverleaf merge pattern. On the 350s, whether sedan or SUV, the limiting factor is the traction inverter, not the motors or battery system.

Is there any indication or confirmation that this acceleration increase has been installed?
So for example, if someone buys a pre-owned car and the previous owner claimed that the lifetime acceleration increase has been purchased, is there anyway to verify that the car actually has it?

So, I think we discussed in the main thread on the sedan forum, but no, there is no range difference whatsoever unless you activate boost. If you go to the Energy Flow screen, you can see that Boost only kicks in at above 80 or 90% throttle application. Otherwise, it's stock performance, and if you're gentle with acceleration as in normal driving, it won't affect range at all. FWIW, I bought it before delivery as the car was being PDI'd and showed in my Mercedes Me Connect. Yesterday in 60° unseasonably warm weather, I got about 268 Wh/mi in a mixed-driving with highway trip. So, yeah, it's not affecting anything unless you really give it the accelerator pedal.
Quick note: the "Energy Flow" screen has a bit of lag, so the boost is instantaneous, but takes about a second or so to show up on the screen. But of course, you can really notice it.

Never mind - I was trying on the web. When I tried on the mobile app, it recognized the VIN, but asked me to enter the code shown on the vehicle's touch screen. It looks like I won't be able to add the vehicle until I have it.
