My 2023 EQS SUV, middle trim level, also has no vents in the door pillars either, just at the rear of the center console. So what is the big deal? What am I supposedly missing?

Likewise, my 2022 450+ does not have AC in the pillars. Just the two center vents in the console. Although, I do love the Burmester audio.

I just checked, my EQS580 medium trim, delivered Aug 2022, has the AC in the pillars.

THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control
May be the rear AC vents in the pillars come with the Thermotronic AC option? I noticed that your rear centre AC vents and controls are different from mine (mine is the Thermotronic option).

Its not rocket science guys. Cars that do not have 4 zone climate control do not have rear vents on the B pillar

Correct. Very disappointing. Huge back seat with only 2 tiny vents in the middle. I don't need 4 zone, but the rear seat area gets little to no air circulation without the pillar vents. And on top of that it's a hatchback, so the rear seat area is really the rear seat + trunk, and only has 2 tiny center vents. Terrible cut-back Mercedes made IMO.

Second the audio is bad? The EQS audio is superb! Take that from a guy that has spent enough on audio to buy another EQS on his audio budget.
I think an apology is in order.

Battery discharge when parked for a long time

I did a little video recently when we went on a 2 week trip, to see what the discharge would be while it was sitting. The results were interesting. I left it at 80% and came back to it still being at 80%. Was parked inside the garage, unlocked, and we had people walking by it multiple times a day dog-sitting while we were gone.

I have never had any parasitic losses. Even with the car sitting in freezing conditions at the Minneapolis airport for 2 weeks.

I left my car in my garage in south Florida since early May. When I left it was at 83% SOC. It’s at 76% today.
