Would like to order EQS 450...but

A couple local MB dealers (Houston area) have EQS 450 allocations...but I want the hyperscreen option and apparently you can't yet order the 450 with the hyperscreen. That is the only restriction holding my order. Have any of you heard when/if that restriction might be removed?

Some dealers are receiving EQS450+ demo’s with Hyperscreens, however it is very rare. If you were to buy their demo car that would be the only way to get a Hyperscreen in a 450+ at the moment.

With the chip shortage still being pretty bad I would say it could be anywhere from 1-2 years until a Hyperscreen becomes optional again.

MB is doing a 2-year lease program that you could take advantage of, you would still have to wait for a Hyperscreen but you’d still get to drive an EQS when they first come out and then swap it for a Hyperscreen equipped model.

If you haven't already, test drive a 450+ without the Hyperscreen. The standard (non-hyperscreen) configuration looks and works very well. It's the configuration used in the new S Class.

Yes...I thought about that. But...I can't seen to accept the "iPad-like" screens. I'm sure it functions great...but I can't get past the tablet-like look. It's kinda funny...but I'm not the biggest fan of the hyperscreen either...but I dislike the hyperscreen less than I dislike the standard display. Oh well...I guess I have a long wait.

Funny about different strokes for different folks. I find the hyperscreen a huge turnoff! 😃

OK. I just looked at a few videos of the standard screen...not too bad. Does anyone know if you lose any function picking the standard vs. hyperscreen?

You really only lose out on size and the passenger screen, other than that, the software is just displayed differently.

I think the non-Hyperscreen interior actually looks pretty slick with the light up three-pointed star trim.

It does look good and it's easy to reach the center screen. Access to the charging pad is a bit cramped but other than that, it works.

Is that the EQS AMG 53?

Just a regular EQS450+, this is the AMG-Line interior option, also available in the US. The 53 will likely get the Hyperscreen standard.

Looks like MB of Rocklin in Sacramento got a 450+ with Hyperscreen. Was looking at their inventory earlier via their website

That's a nicely optioned 450+. It's an early enough VIN number to have gotten the comfort doors before they were constrained. E-Price is $165,705. $50K ADM.
