To clarify, The huge amount of problems are with Lucid, not Mercedes. My 580 SUV has been a pleasure to own and drive.

Air conditioning not keeping up in Summer, trim coming off doors, uneven gaps at doors and trunks, service team will not return my calls, car bricked on the freeway, once I made a deposit have not heard from my sales rep in three months, no Apple Car Play, screens go black consistently, front seats squeak, does not get the advertised mileage, brand new tires with sidewall bulge’s …..

I had a tow a few months ago for my broken I Pace...tow truck driver told me anecdotal stories about EV problems, including a Rivian that was home delivered, and literally never worked--towed away months later. And, he had lots of stories about Teslas and their problems with broken control arms. Our cars won't be perfect, but I think Mercedes' deep engineering bench and manufacturing experience will help.

That is true, Tesla is a relatively "young" company but these shouldn't have past QA despite the "lack of" experience on building vehicles. I understand defects happens but this is really unacceptable in my opinion.

Exactly. I highly doubt MB engineering would let this happen.

So I was in the market for an EV for my wife. Drove a 2020 Model 3 with lets say 35k miles. Rode like crap and clunking in the front suspension. Glad we didn't buy one.

Thanks for your reply I thought it was about something in the article which I don't have access to. Dealerships are known to low ball I wonder if there are different quotes with Caravana, VRoom and CarMax.

I found the post, looks like I missed it https://mbworld.org/forums/eqs/86102...ml#post8741631, initially I thought you meant 60K miles on a one year old EQS as it was driven that much (not sure what I was thinking 
)

So thinking about it, some of the depreciation may be associated with folks experiencing cold weather range reduction and finding that it doesn't fit their expectation or use case.

The deals happening on eqs are insane.
400 to 600 a month. No down. Msrp are being discounted almost 20%.
See leasehackr.com and check out the posted deals it's wild.

Yes, Mercedes is pushing EQ right now. But not a lot of EQE in stock. I have 1 amg EQE and 1 EQE500, willing to deal on both if interested. There is a $1500 conquest rebate right now as well, if you own another plug in vehicle or plug in hybrid (non mercedes) you qualify

There is a 7500 lease discount and a conquest offer. MBUSA may have additional offers/and list suggested dealer contribution. I’d bet they AMG EQE will not have big discounts because there aren’t a lot of them. For the EQS, the dealers have both 22s and 23s and need to move them.
EQE will be the real driver of sales for the EQ sub-brand.

The IRS announced updated guidelines for the EV tax credit. Reports indicate that the leasing loophole for foreign manufactured vehicles has remained.

Since the person you quoted didn't reply yet, I am just going to throw in my guess : maybe to add variety?
