EQS sales.

I don't know about sales elswere, but Weston Fl is the kingdom of the EQS. They are everywhere. Tons of 350's and 450's. Makes sense since the RWD is perfect for here. 400 miles or so of range all year long is just the ticket. A ton of EQ SUVs too.

Mercedes has a lot less competition in the luxury sedan segment. They might as well quit trying to make electric SUVs though... except for maybe the EQG (or whatever confusing name they're calling it).

This is what happens when corporations actually listen to their customers:

The Ford Mustang Mach-E Handily Outsold The Gas Mustang In 2024

If there had been a 2025 EQE 500 SUV off-road Rally Edition, with a NACS connector, I would have HAD to buy it. But alas it was not to be. *sigh*

I would tend to agree with you. I originally bought my 23 EQS 580 sedan in RI where I have purchased several Mercedes previously. Keep it year round at my Florida house now. Dropped into the RI dealer over the holidays to say hello. Salesman said they haven’t sold an EQS in over 6 months. Just had my car serviced at the North Palm Beach dealer. When I drove into the service reception there was a Maybach EQS 680 in front of me. 2 other electric Mercedes pulled in within 5 minutes of me.
BTW the North Palm beach dealer just installed a new windshield for a crack from rock damage. They did a fantastic job. Glass looks identical to original. USAA could not locate the glass at any other local windshield place so approved the dealers price.

My dealership here in NorCal is supposedly the highest selling EQS dealership in the world. Had a chat with them last year. However, MB just released their 2024 sales numbers and overall EQS sedan and SUV sales dropped 52% year over year. Sales plummeted in general across the board, but the EQS got hit the hardest. MBUSA saw a 6% overall increase in sales, though, led by ICE and hybrid vehicles that made up for the massive drops in sales of the EQ models, so there is that. Not that others such as the BMW i7 are selling any better. My dealership is using what they are sitting on as loaners, hoping to entice potential buyers by letting them experience one. Not sure how many they are selling that way, though.

Lucid just started delivery of Gravity but supposedly it's selling very well. You'll definitely be seeing more of them on the road soon. I personally have no use for a third row (and barely any use for the second) so it wasn't on my shopping list. The iX is absolutely hideous though. Your area of Florida must have a lot of visually impaired old people.

Out of curiosity - which dealership is this? (I also live in NorCal, and take my EQS to Mercedes Benz of Stevens Creek - but they seem to be only barely up-to-speed on EQSs right now.)

I don't know how much the high number of these cars is the cars selling well, vs the local dealers in Florida having large allocations and being among the most aggressive in discounting. Florida lease prices are insane. To the extent I leased my car in Florida and shipped it to GA. The Florida dealers are putting large numbers of EQ vehicles into their loaner fleets, then applying massive discounts once they hit 4000 miles, combined with current year subvented lease rates.

I agree with number of EQ vehicles into loaners. I just had service on my eqs 580 sedan in Palm beach and there were 3 EQ cars available for loan. I haven’t looked into pricing as I have no intention of selling my 23 EQS anytime soon.

The report parallels wahat I can see.
BTW whatever misgivings about the EQS anyone should have, the fact is the seem to be selling a lot better than ICE S models..... I hardly see any new S class cars around.

….Because MB jacked the base 6-cylinder S500 to start at $119100 and with relevant options rises to mid $130s and that’s still for the S500. BMW still offers their 6-cylinder around $100K, but for $119K, you can get a lot more equipment with the 7-series, looks aside. MB has quietly jacked all base prices come to think of it. And don’t tell me it’s because of the screens. Competition outscreens the S-class, which is starting to look dated inside by comparison. That said, I’m an MB fan, but the S-class refresh next year should have included an updated interior to stay ahead. I also love my EQS, exterior looks aside.

2024: 8,809
2023: 11,824

EQS
2024: 6,963
2023: 14,499

Not in the USA where the lying news/propaganda outlets are protected by the legal injustice system, but in the UK...

The belated ruling last Thursday came after the the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) challenged claims made in an article by Political Editor Steven Swinford in September about a supposed “fall in demand” for electric vehicles. The claim was contradicted by market data showing EV sales are actually rising.

That's awesome. And as you say, EV Sales are still growing in the USA.

And people who buy EVs are happier than those who bought Hybrids or ICE cars.

Yeah, but really not so great considering climate change was a big issue for Democrats. If EV adoption was a race like the one for space we'd be losing big time. Instead they're getting rid of environmental requirements in California so Hollywood movie stars can rebuild their burnt mansions faster. What a huge disappointment!
