If the production EQS looked like the EQS vision concept, they’d be sold out for the next 3 years…….MB execs shouldn’t have gone with the committee’s vote.

I mostly agree with you.
However, I with literally hundreds of 2023 EQS SUVs sitting unsold in tiny Canada, we can now get one at such significant discounts, it makes sense in many ways. Also, I can recharge the battery for $5, vs $200 to fill the tank of a similar gas powered Mercedes for similar range. Think about that!
I am smart enough to know that EVs are not "greener" than IEC cars; but it's good to have choice and there are some technical advantages. And if it costs 40X less to run, I'm definitely interested.
