EQS @ MSRP
Was at my dealer in Lansing Michigan. Heard off the cuff that they were shipping EQS out of state as sales were poor.
I paid MSRP. I was told by dealership that they sell @ MSRP. G class included!!.

Not selling? You cant get one without ordering and waiting for months!!! Ergo they are selling pretty much every one they make! The sale numbers are not because they are "not selling" it because they cant make them fast enough! Anything you see at a dealer is are dealer tester cars that no one wants unless at a deep discount.

I hate to say it, but anecdotally the EQ cars are not doing well. We had some hype with the first EQS Sedans we received but that was about it. We haven't moved a single EQB, those ended up in the loaner program. We have a 2 or 3 EQS SUVs sitting on the showroom floor and a loaded up EQS Sedan. Those have been here for roughly a month now. All advertised at MSRP.

I simply dont see anyone picking a 130k car at a dealership lot. If Im paying that amount I want a car to precisely meet every single option I want. This is my 5th MB, they have all been ordered.

I have a.lways factory ordered cars from my very first car to the present. It isn't about money, it is about matching desires and needs. That being said, if people have an immediate need they'll settle for whatever is a close match. If that wasn't the case dealers would limit their "on the lot inventory" to demonstrators only. Even the local Ferrari dealer has cars for immediate delivery.

EQS 450+
I think we have to realize the economy has had an apparent dramatic slowdown compared to earlier in the year. You had a lot of early adopters back then (including me) competing for limited availability, driving the price up. Those have been flushed out of the system, those who remain are going to be more cautious in spending anything over $100k, especially with competition coming from below from the likes of Hyundia/Kia, Ford and Polestar. I will admit, I was tempted to put a down payment on a Polestar 3. Oh and lets not forget, no chance in hell of any new buyer getting a tax rebate at this point, as well.

I am in fact waiting for the EQE SUV to arrive, but I do notice that in general the EQSs aren’t tough to find. Compare this to the iX which have 6-10 month waiting period. I don’t think people calling the eqs ugly is the reason for slow sales (if indeed that is the case) because the ix isn’t much prettier but it is a much loved and sought after vehicle. The price of the EQS may have something to do with it

True leather seats can't be on many cars in the EV segment, apparently electrification and a vegan lifestyle are assumed to go hand-in-hand by manufacturers. That being said, black leather seats ARE in fact available on the EQB.
I had an EQB 300 demo car for a few weeks and liked the car much more than I expected to. For the first time in a while I did not want to give it back. In my experience, the range estimates were very conservative during a moderate fall timeframe.
If there isn't a correction in gas prices in the next 18 months an EQB very likely will end up replacing my wife's Pilot.

EQS 450 4 matic sedan, Mercedes 550S
Just bought stock 2023 EQS 450 4 matic (dual motor) SEDAN here in San Diego at MSRP.
Not super easy to get. The dealer had to swap it with another dealer from L.A.
I had one on order with May/June 2023 ETA and decided to take this one because it was matching my preferred colors and had my must have options.
On the flip side it was loaded with $10K worth of additional options that I don't care much about but renting this kind of car for 6-7 months would be more than that.
There is an uptick in inventory right now because the 2023 models were accumulating and "on hold" at the ports for few months not to jeopardize the sales of 2022 models. 2023 models were just released.
In general my observation and my guess is that the supply will be tight once this wave phases out.
