HI! I checked and I only have a few days left to change any of my options for a 580 eqs.
I’d love to run some things by you
It will be extremely rare for anyone to be in the backseat, so I wasn’t going to spend extra to get the Pinnacle trim (the 3rd and top level) for the additional features for the backseat. The Exclusive trim (the 2nd level).is the perfect package for me.
BUT, I was just told you can’t get heads up or augmented reality in the Exclusive trim. You need to get the Pinnacle trim for those two features. I need to decide how much those features are worth to me. They come included.
Any opinions ? I’ve never seen either!

It does say pinnacle comes with a more cushioned console. Anyone know HOW much more comfy. (Just trying to find some things that might actually be enjoyed to justify the money… I’m thinking less frustration with map directions that i don’t need very often might not be worth 5k…even if it will feel that way at the time!

This is all so helpful!
i did forget to comment on the air filter. I have assumed there is already a great filter and this is just a little better.. or maybe it’s a LOT better? I do tend to keep everything closed…. And to finlayson’s point, i also live in ca and at times it’s very polluted here.. but I’m not in my car much, so i have to think about the $$ on this one. If i was in it for hours a day, i do think it would definitely be worth it.

Sounds like Netstar is screwed up again. You should be able to order either the standard HUD or AR HUD with exclusive trim. And also, nappa leather is not or shall I say has not been a requirement for the exclusive trim as well. Sounds like I was lucky in that I am getting the car exactly to my specifications.

Thanks! I ordered last jan but now all the sudden things I selected were missing etc. I might have misspoke… to get augmented reality and heads up, i am told i need pinnacle, and it’s included for free in pinnacle.. but pinnacle requires napa leather now (and not included for free but a requirement).. you don’t need it for exclusive. And this doesn’t sound right at all but maybe Mercedes is just this way? I’m forever sad about not getting the auto opening doors!!! I was waiting for that but now i hear i could be waiting forever, so i should just get the car already!

2023 EQS 580
Netstar was messed up a few months ago. It said our car was going to be built Aug 31. In reality, the build started Nov 10 and the car was completed on nov 16. I don’t see why you can’t order the car as stated. Maybe Netstar is not accepting changes or there is some sort of error again? In august, we thought the options on our car were messed up. The dealer offered to configure one of their cars on order. At the time, we configured an Exclusive with automatic comfort door (DH0) for an additional $2,750. Previously, you couldn’t select that option. Maybe that was an error.

The only thing I can think of is HUD has been temporarily discontinued from exclusive because of parts shortages, and that they’re requiring nappa with the massage or something, but I assume it’s just netstar messing up. You should be able to order exclusive with AR HUD and regular leather no problem.

I have been waiting forever for my car to arrive but from the looks of it I was fortunate to get the car exactly as I ordered it, nothing was deleted. Especially to pay $130+k for a car and find out you still can’t get certain things. The only thing I may have got was the comfort doors, but they have been unavailable for a long time so they didn’t enter into my order.
I’ll have to ask my salesman if he can order a 580 exclusive trim with AR HUD.

I picked up my EQS580 three weeks ago, nice car, really enjoying it, really get up to speed quick, my S Class was a little more comfortable though. The only thing that was omitted on my order was the Winter Package, I probably used the heated steering wheel once on my S Class so accepted the EQS minus that package.

Unless you are super picky like some journalists I don't think you'll be disappointed, I wasn't! I did not get the AMG interior but it's the Nappa leather upgrade. The front seat is a little more rigid, my S580 I believe had more padding, it's not uncomfortable just not as plush, also the center console doesn't have the padding so your knee rubs against plastic not leather or carpet, The suspension doesn't absorb bumps like the S580 but it's not far from it but the car weights a half ton more than the S580. Otherwise it's a pleasant car to drive plenty of get up a go, hit the go peddle and you'll be thankful for headrests, it really drives you back into the seat! As of this writing the electronics works much better that my 2021 S Class, hopefully that will continue. The car handles well but don't seem to notice the rear steering like on my S Class and it 10 degrees not 4.5, maybe just used to rear steering? I went from a Cadillac CT6 (4 degrees rear steering) to a S580 (4.5 degrees) to a EQS580 (10 degrees). The rear steering makes this big tub handle pretty well, you really pay zero attention to the 207" you're moving around, feels more like an E Class, have fun!

I passed up some cars last year waiting for the auto opening/closing doors, but I finally gave up after hearing I could be waiting, literally, forever! I don’t even know much about the comfort doors but hope you wind up with them!
The dealer told me cars are still arriving without electric seats.. hard to imagine!

I shared this with my brother (who was in the car biz and bff’s with a Mercedes’ dealer) because I was also surprised. He confirmed he heard a few months ago many or all lower end Mercedes were being built with manual seats and s class without the massage feature..

I don’t know about the KICK!!! Is this something I’ll probably get (building it in Jan) or is it an option I need to select ?
Until I totaled it last year, I had a cl550.. it was old but I still worshiped it. I’d LOVE for that to come around again.. I like a huge car for extra safety but I don’t need a back seat
There was a very sexy convertible at the dealership … it was truly drool worthy !

The EQS comes standard with the kick to open trunk. It was only unavailable for a week to so if production, probably fewer then 50 US cars. But the C class and S class have not had it for a while, and before that the GLC, E, and front drive models didn’t have it for a long time.
As for manual seats, in most markets aside from North America, manual seats are not only standard but far more common in front drive models and C/GLC class, and even possible on the E Class. So it was odd for GLA, GLB, A, and CLA to have manual seats in the US but when I told my European friends about it and how much of a bummer it was, they were shocked that the electric seats were supposed to be standard and said they couldn’t recall seeing those models with power seats ever.

Hopefully the days of build deletions will soon be over but I am not so sure. As for EV convertibles, Porsche will likely be the first to do so with the EV Boxster and Cayman which should arrive after 2025.
