My new EQS580 - 3 week owner review

Over 23 miles the 550 foot elevation change certainly seems imperceptable. I probably do use strong regen a little more on the trip home, because afternoon traffic is usually a little worse, and I use that in traffic. Happened again today, 3.2mpkWh goiing, 4.8 coming home. 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.

The brakes definitely feel different, coming from an M550i, I would agree. However, they do stop well. I have been in a couple of urgent sudden stop situations in traffic, and they performed very well. The feel takes some getting used to. 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.

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.
