EQS Air Quality
Hi everyone, just purchased a 2024 AMG EQS to replace a Cybertruck.
on the videos I watched reviewing the car, they showed a screen where you can monitor the air quality both inside and outside of the car.
when I go to the Air Quality menu I don’t see that screeen. Am I missing something or is this region specific?
Thank you.

I believe that that screen is only if you buy the optional "super-duper" filter package. On my vehicle I simply touch the icon of the little car with air flowing into it on the AC portion of the screen. That takes me directly to the air quality screen. FYI the monittor is superbly well calibrated.

It also just received an update to allow even faster charging (from 250kw to 325kw though Cybertruck can allegedly charge at even higher rates than this)
We're only 6,000 miles in but so far it's been a flawless experience.

I did not mind people hating the car for its look but lately it has become a political symbol and in Oakland it’s very frequent insults and people yelling at you. Not worth it.
I tried the Rivian and the Lucid but my feeling is that they are just trying to copy Tesla’s playbook and I would always try to compare. So I looked for a car that is electric but not necessarily copying Tesla and the Mercedes EQS was the natural choice (Audi RS E tron was too small).
In terms of differences, the Mercedes is definitely better built, it drives nicely, is relatively silent (although I was hoping for more) and the range is good. From a tech/user interface standpoint, it’s really bad, menus are all over the place and it feels Mercedes is focused on building useless features and its at the expense of nailing the usability of the core UI.

Thank you. Mine looks exactly the same except it doesn’t show the external and internal air quality.
There is also a big hole under the front hood where the HEPA filters are meant to be. I am surprised that it’s an option.

The air quality here in Sweden is about as pure as pure can get. I got the HEPA option because I have significant allergies to pollen - and for that, it's performed admirably!

No Mercedes yet
I deliberately included the HEPA filter in my EQS's configuration because I live/drive in California, which is subject to forest fires (which, thanks to climate change, are likely to keep get worse).
This was one of the best decisions I ever made. When I drive in smoky conditions, I barely notice it inside; the filter usually keeps the inside air quality at 1 or 2 ppm.

We also have a Cybertruck and it's an incredible car. So smooth and comfy in Comfort mode yet lots of fun to drive in Sport mode. The best part of the Cybertruck is the steer-by-wire with very quick steering ratio. Driving ANYTHING else is difficult now. It's been incredible in the snow. Range and efficiency is excellent as well. In 0 degree temperatures we were getting 230 miles of highway range. I expect to get well over 300 in the summer.
