I wonder how many more chips a hyperscreen uses compared to the standard display?
I don’t know but I would imagine no more, just a higher end CPU. These days you buy a system on a chip. The MacBook Pro can control up to 4 displays at once. Same concept.
Looks like it says 8 cpu cores (did not state frequency of the processing unit), 24 GB of RAM and 46.4 of memory used for the hyperscreen, can't find the specs powering the regular screen however.

That sounds like a mid-level ARM chip. Probably a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800.
There may be a separate more basic ARM chip for the instrument cluster.
typically you would have some jelly bean logic as an interface driver. the CPU typically doesn't do the display drive directly except in phones.
The bigger chips just have a harder time providing line driving needed for cables.
Anyone else with a build date in early 2022 concerned features will keep magically vanishing as the chip shortage gets worse?
BMW just announced recently they are pulling touch screens from many of their vehicles.
I would not be surprised for the Hyperscreen to magically get pulled or LED lighting to (it already was pulled on the s class afaik), or other features

I'm hoping that the EQS has priority for chips. I think it would be easier to pull features from vehicles that are ordered for dealer inventory, than to pull them from special orders. If I see a vehicle on the lot without a particular feature, I don't really miss it because it was never there. If I order a vehicle it is obvious that the vehicle I order will not have the feature I want. In both cases the function is not there, but in one case it never was and the other it is perceived to have been deleted.

Just looked at their website, didn't see any mention of the EQS (maybe they don't list the demo vehicles), but I noticed that they have quite a few 2022 S class vehicles. My local dealers have one or two at most. The one I went to for service has one 2022 S class in transit, none in stock.
I put in a request through the chat, and as I was typing this email I received a call. I was told they just got two demo vehicles today, one 450 and one 580 and they are available for test drive by appointment (I have an appointment for Saturday), not eligible for sell. He said they will not have vehicles eligible for sell until December. He also stated they haven't settled on pricing yet.

It's in, I got an email from them. I'm going to wait a few weeks and go during the week when they will be a little slower. Not looking to buy one but very curious.
As for S cars, they have a bunch but are asking 10K ADM or more.
Looks like for those who want a less aero shape and a longer hood, BMW is coming with the i7. My guess is their range will be competitive given what we are seeing with the iX (you tube reviewers seeing a range of around 340 miles from a boxy SUV).
Odd car, but for the 450+ on the back, I'd swear it is a 580. Hyperscreen, AMG body package and AMG wheels.
Demo and press cars can have unusual configurations. In fact there will be an option code on the VIN sheet that identifies it as a demo or press car.
I once looked at a GLE like this and it had powered rear folding seats despite not having third row seating. An example of an impossible configuration.
I'm skeptical of this green charging option. In principle you pay extra and they source the power from green sources. IN reality a bunch of power generation sources are connected to the grid, and if I buy green power, then customers who are indifferent will get more non green power. At a large scale yes it can shift the supply towards more green power, but I doubt it at an individual level.
