Diving into the settings.....
One pedal driving: Tesla owners go into a frenzy about this particular thing🙄...... YES, the EQS has 100% one pedal driving, however, there is a problem.... I HATE IT. I dont like it going forward and I absolutely hate it in reverse, its like if the parking brake were engaged
One the other hand, I love the lane departure system! Something that I previously loathed! Since it is now fully adjustable there are no constant vibrations and warnings. In the least sensitive setting it simply serves as a guardrail, the second you are virtually on the line it simply nudges the car into the lane almost imperceptively! WELL DONE!

I live in an area with essentially no traffic, ever. Other than that, its highway, again with very little traffic. Given that, yhe golf cart style of power delivery is very annoying for me. Maybe if I lived in a congested area I would appreciate it more. The first time I put in reverse I thought something was broken since on any other car you control reverse with the brake not a power restricted accelerator.(creep mode off)
Where I live, I tend to toggle between Strong Regen and Auto.

Another Kudos to MB for allowing changing modes with the paddles, very slick indeed.

Yep, when I see traffic stopped ahead, I just pull the left paddle and kick back. As soon as it clears, I pull the right paddle and unleash the hounds. I always leave creep mode on, so I do have to use the brakes if traffic actually stops.

Not to mention that you can always activate the brake hold funtion by nudging the brake, one of my favorite MB features.

Are you saying the EQS OPD is different from Tesla's. In other words, did you like the OPD in the Tesla and now HATE it in the EQS?

Noooooooo! I hate one pedal driving. For many Tesla owners it seems that one pedal driving is a must have and many reviews wrongly say that the EQS doesnt have it. It does. Mercedes wisely considered old guys like me and gave the car "creep" mode. At slow speed the car wont instantly stop it will move like a gas car would. Full regen is not necesarily bad in fact its kind if a downshift mechanism if you want it, however in reverse its absolutely horrible for me since you see to be driving with the gas and the brake at the same time. The EQS selectable regen modes are a stroke of genious. Its all about choices.

i have creep off. I don’t like creep. I spent my first 15 years of driving with manual transmissions, and then I moved to BMW M Cars with DCTs which also don’t have creep. I can drive with creep but I prefer fully manual throttle control. I have a very well calibrated right foot!

Yes. My only experience driving a BEV so far was at a Tesla test drive event. I drove the Model S and before we took off, the Tesla Rep went through how to switch between one pedal drive and normal drive on the control screen, but didn't really explain what it was going to feel like. Then they left it in one pedal drive and we took off. I was so startled when I lifted off the accelerator the first time that I immediately switched to normal drive for the remainder of the test. I'm not saying I couldn't get used to it, because I've since talked to current Tesla owners who love it, but it was such a jarring experience, it left me not a fan.
