My new EQS 580
Well, I had one on order to be build at the end of November, but I ended up finding another car that someone backed out of and I ended up purchasing it over the weekend so I can get the tax credit. Even though it is not the Selenite Grey color I had initially ordered, it is Polar White with Porcelain Beige (805) interior, fully loaded with every possible option and it looks great. I found it in Oklahoma City (about 6hrs from Austin) and so I will go up next Monday and drive it back down. Dealer sold it to me at MSRP and I pulled the trigger before interest rates go up again in 2 weeks. It will be a good test of range and charging, but I have to admit, I'm not sure what to expect on that drive back home as this is our first EV experience. Will post some pics when I pick it up! My Chargepoint Home Flex comes in tomorrow and now I just have to get the plug wired and I'm ready to go!

Congrats. Ask the concierge to help you activate Mercedes me charging through the app so you can take advantage of 30 minute free charging sessions at any Electrify America DC fast chargers.
The Porcelain Beige (805) interior is an incorrect description that started showing up in NetStar recently. The window sticker will show it as (805) Macchiato/Magma Grey Nappa Leather which is correct according to the DOG.

I'm guessing the dealership emailed you a build sheet that shows the interior as Porcelain Beige (805), correct? Hopefully MB is working on updating NetStar so buyers (and dealers) see the correct names for all available options.

Yes, that is where I got the incorrect name from.

My original Netstar printout has 805 Macchiato Beige/Space Grey Nappa leather for my EQS sedan (which hopefully is correct). The current Netstar printout has 805 Porcelain/ Espresso Brown nappa leather. I think the porcelain may be a European color.

No it's a description error caused by an IT migration at Mercedes. You have what your original printout stated.

Can you clarify what you mean? I was thinking that when I pick up the car at the dealership, they will help me get everything setup on my phone and that I should be good to go when I drive out of the parking lot. Is that not the case? If it takes 3 days to activate, then can I do it before I pick up the car, or is it something you need to be physically with the car to do?

The two services you will need to ensure are activated are Mercedes me charge and Plug & Charge. The later allows you to go to any (I have only tried Electrify America so far) and charge without an account from that provider [or so our concierge has told us]. What also helped is that we went online to setup the Mercedes me Connect accounts ahead of time as well and we just provided our account emails/phone number to have the services activated.
There is however a note in my email on the day we picked up the car:
It may take up to 5 hours to complete the activation.
We wish you much pleasure with your Mercedes me connect services!

Good thing is that from Oklahoma City we will come first to Dallas and stop their overnight at my brother in law's place. That is 200 miles and should be doable on the full charge worse case. But I want to try out the charging and there are multiple EA supercharging stations (150kwh/350kwh) along the way (mostly in Walmart parking lots). My BIL has a Taycan EV so I can charge using his charger if my account does not get activated, so I can make it back to Austin the next day.
It is an interesting paradigm shift to have to plan out how to "fuel" your car, but I'm sure it is something I will get used to pretty quickly.
