I gets I'm used to seeing it without the upright star. It looks like someone requested for the center grille to look like it came from the S-Class lineage.

Like the looks of both. Much more interested in the battery upgrade!

The article was wrong in calling this a "facelift".

Despite the significant increase in range, Mercedes doesn’t consider this a full mid-life facelift: instead, the platform’s chief project manager Holger Enzmann described the changes as “an upgrade before the update”.

Any word if the 2025 EQS will have NACS port? Our 2023 lease is almost over and is interested to pick up a 2025 if there is NACS built-in.

Yes. It will.
IMO the Mercedes ornament has to go. For better or worse the EQs is not a limousine. It would need 3 more inches of rear headroom. The EQS has a refreshing purity of design, slapping unnecessary doodads to "mercedify" it are self defeating. I do like the g pseudo grill.

that is very good news and thanks for confirming.

i thought we may get a classic with ornament and sports just like the current one? For the AMG, the star will not be there?

Not sure why the EQS is not getting the love. I have had a Tesla Model S before and other than the software, the EQS is on another level.

I think you are right. On the E series, there are versions without the ornament which makes perfect sense.

I'm tech savvy, but what's not to love about EQS tech? Model S looks gimmicky. A software shifter? A button horn? A button signal? 1 or 2 screens? I have 4 screens, and a tablet in the back. Gesture, and as much information about the tech in the EQS as I want about the rpm, torque, motor temp, and on and on. And yet, it stills looks nice.

I don't think that chart is accurate. This is what I see. I was wondering why BMW was lower than MB. Source: Kelley Blue Book

2023 EQS 580 Sedan
Really enjoying my 2023 EQS580 after securing crazy March incentives and discounts. A change of grill doesn’t change the shape most don’t love. Actually think the new slats grill makes it look like a modern day Taurus. Original designs are usually better than warmed over refreshes. By the time my lease expires, the next gen will be even more excellent. Boy is it fast!

Does it really matter if it's 59.1% or 55.1% vs 3.4% or 3.9%? The point remains. Tesla completely dominates the US market.

Anywhosies, Mercedes' numbers don't look so bad no matter which dataset you chose to use (bigger isn't always better... I like small, well-validated data personally). So I really don't know why they're rethinking their Ev strategy. It actually looks like sales were pretty good to me.

Agree, the YoY was +24.5%
