It will look fantastic. Good choice.

JoeMa

I agree, Twilight Blue with Macchiato Beige / Space Grey Nappa will look awesome together!

JoeMa

Can't wait for MB to pushed out testers and dealer demos all over the country. Until we can see, touch, and drive the new EQS SUV, we're really in the dark on these orders. Of course pricing would also be helpful.

MB USA

I hope that happens soon!

Not sure what the delay is unless they have done them already and we are waiting on a release date like they did on the April 19th date, 15 reviews show up at once.

@Eaton Is Status B3 still configurable?

JoeMa

Is B3 a MB production status?

So I have a new configuration for October build now.

AR HUD

Great build, do you know if the 444 HUD has good content on the screen? I wanted AR HUD but my locked unit has 444.

JoeMa

After reading the last post, I decided to change from 444 to 445 for my build.

MB USA

Good choice I wish I could change mine, for the small difference, I would always opt for that one. Youi can always turn off that part.

JoeMa

I’m glad you brought it up, I totally missed it. Thanks 👍🏼

stealth.pilot

On 445 I can see everything you get on 444. 444 is very good. An improvement over all previous HUDs. You see both a map and Conceptual directions (e.g drawing of junction with arrow of where to go). Also you get that with both CarPlay and Mercedes Nav. It’s the best HUD with the exception of the AR HUD which adds to that giant blue arrows pointing exactly where to go.

To be honest AR HUD is a must have IMO. It has a huge wow factor. I now only use the Mercedes navigation because the AR feature requires using the Mercedes Nav (which is functionally just as good as Apple and Google but with the advantage of AR).

but if you have never used the AR HUD the 444 HUD is also impressive. A significant step up over what is in the latest GLS.

MB USA

Thanks, I found a dealer with an open allocation, but they want 5k above MSRP. Torn on getting what I want at 5k over vs taking a pre-configured one at MSRP but missing items like AR, my color choice, etc..

stealth.pilot

I would pay it. The car is going to be about $150k. Or at least that’s what I paid for my EQS Sedan after taxes. Another $5k to get what you want is worth it

Our request with an October build date. Fingers Crossed! Also, MB trainer told our SA yesterday that neither of our desired wheels will be part of production. :<​​​​​​​

Order with October build date.

The wheels we want!

brumalis

I bet they’re being reserved for an AMG model that’ll come out later. If so I’ll definitely be ordering a set.

MB USA

This is my build for an October date. I am being told no 3rd row until January, so I opted to have it removed.

JoeMa

My build with pricing:

abhansali

My build is very similar. But i didn't see 878 in the DOG. Is there no ambient lighting unless you add this?

​​​​​​Also I'm adding PBR but what is difference between PBR and P53? And I see you have both - why?

abhansali

Okay I just checked my build sheet and looks like 878 is standard. But still wondering about PBR and P53

JoeMa

I pulled the codes and pricing from the order my SA emailed me. If they don’t match exactly with the DOG, I expect the online order system is more up-to-date.

bonboon

hey joe what is the pre safe rear seat package? Is that the third row? Why do they call it “pre
safe”

JoeMa

Good question, it’s on my order sheet but I did not order the third row option so it’s something else.

JoeMa

In the DOG it is called DE1 - Trim Level Content Package ($3,150) which actually makes more sense.

So some packages and options are named differently on the Order requests.

BenjaminKohl

I’m not sure if active ambient is standard or optional but on the S and EQS it’s been a non orderable option that shows up on any cars when it’s available. However even if it’s not standard, ambient lighting is. You’ll get all the colors, you just might not have quite as much and you won’t have the “active” part which does a few things like blind spot warning in the ambient lighting, shooting lines when you accelerate hard, temperature change markings, etc.

The “Pre-Safe” Package is just an odd temporary name for the Exclusive trim package content. Netstar has been down so a few names have been switched to rough translations from German package names or what package codes used to be on other models. Just place holder stuff while netstar comes back online. I’ve seen some other odd names.

As for P53 Energizing air control plus vs PBR energizing comfort plus, it’s odd they use these names, but they are quite different. The air control is actually the HEPA filter, which filters out toxic particles and cleans the air in the cabin. The energizing comfort is a series of softwear programs that sync ambient light, massage seat, temp, and music to promote a “mood” in the car. So despite the similar name, they’re very different things.
