Losing up to half your vehicle's MSRP in the first couple of years definitely hurts a little bit...

I will probably trade my 2023 Genesis GV60 for EQS 580 as soon as a certified one reaches $50k. Definitely by $40k

I loved the EQE AMG loaner from a few weeks ago. Tempting to get one after depreciation.

Boy am I glad I bought an EQE and not an EQS! EQE isn't on this list so that must mean they don't depreciate much. Whew!

Love my EQS as well and bought it to keep it, at least until my warranty runs out in 3 more years 😬.

However bad the EQS is, the Porsche Taycan is worse.

I hope so. The new Taycan with its active suspension looks like a fun electric car.

I hope the second Taycan Turbo S is better than the first generation. The new tech sounds promising, and I have my eyes on it. But by the time I get one, probably other manufacturers have the same competitive tech too.

The situation with the Taycan in the UK is so bad the dealers do not want them in part exchange at any price. People who bought one are taking a serious hit.
