Looking for EQS 580 SUV - have few questions
I am seeing a lot of EQS SUVs in the lot and some dealers are giving good deals. I have few questions:
1) Most of the 580 in the lot are Premium trim. Is there any must-have option that I will be missing by going for this trim? One option, 4 zone climate control is something I found as missing and wish premium had it.
2) how is the reliability of EQS 580?
3) what is the maintenance schedule for these SUVs? The sales rep said once in every 20K and the first service is free. Is that right?
4) I am looking to purchase instead of leasing. Who has got the best deal so far? What is the interest rate you got from MB?
5) what is the average range you get from 580 SUV?

The 4 Zone climate is available as a standalone option on Premium trim cars, but most 580s seem to be quite basicly equipped. etting the Exclusive trim, ,the big thing for me is the Head Up Display, but it also adds the massage seats (also a standalone option on premium cars), the fragrance, the gesture control, and the logo projector lights in the door.

1. I have the Pinnacle trim. Heads up display for me is a must as well as the massaging seats (I think opinions may vary on the massaging seats), the rapid heating and the 4 zone control. The tablet in the rear seat is a complete waste, but it came with the Pinnacle trim so no choice. I think if you get the Exclusive Trim then you get the main items you definitely want (DE1 and HUD options). Last I would definitely add the P53 (HEPA filter). I love this and on the highway in traffic, you can see the quality of the air inside and outside to see how much of a difference it makes.
2. quality/reliability - excellent
3. maint schedule - yes, I was told 20K for the first visit and it is included. Best thing about an EV - no oil changes!
4. pricing is changing rapidly, so when I bought in October I got a great deal since I got the car at MSRP when all other dealers were charging a market adjustment. I bought out of state from MB of Oklahoma City and was very happy with their no nonsense approach to pricing.
5. 240-250mi over the 7.5K miles driven in 6 months. Could be less also on any specific trip. We drove to New Mexico in spring break and I averaged about 215-220mi. Don't go by the range they show on the dash. You have to keep track of your Watts/Mi (as shown in the dash) and calculate your range based on that. The range they calculate in the dash is not accurate per my experience.
