AC on full each way, traffic about the same. Hardly used strong regen at all either way. It's interesting. Wish I could explain it.
Though the uphill trip is no big consumer, the downhill lets you enjoy a lot of "gliding" thus requiring very little energy.

I have no idea if they can be programmed differently to feel differently, but I do know that I have full confidence in them. The review was great, mirroring many of my thoughts. The EQS really is a marvelous car.
I own a 2020 E53 Cabriolet, the brakes work great! My 2021 S580 the brake feel, well, like I'm wondering how hard to step on it to stop, kind of spongy. When I test drove a EQS450 I didn't feel that but can't remember what regen mode I was in? I was told the brake pull away only happen on max regen, I guess I'll wait another 8 to 12 weeks to see when my EQDS580 gets here.

My Subaru has both side window shades and sunroof shade. Come on Mercedes.

So does the BMW i7. I don’t know why they missed this. I’m sure some here will make excuses for them though.

I well recall a '60s Fiat I owned that had double front window sun visors, when most far more expensive cars didn't.

Sometimes it takes other brands time to catch up on innovation. However the frustrating thing here is that it was a step backward to leave them out. If they wanted to save cost or weight, they could have just had the manual side-window blinds. Those do a perfectly good job. It is not necessary to be electric. But leaving the functionality out is a miss.

It was due to supply chain issues. I have no idea but just offering an excuse. :)
