400 miles on my ‘20 G63 and so far, bullet proof... IMHO, built much better than my prior RR and its hand made to boot. No creaks, no electrical issues... rides awesome. This isnt a beta best. Light years ahead of Landrover...

1500 miles on my 20 G63 and it couldn’t be sweeter.... So glad I pulled the trigger on this. Probably jynx myself by saying this; but not one issue with it yet.
Have never enjoyed driving a vehicle as much as I do this one.

2024 G 63
I agree 100 percent. I got my 2020 G 63 in July, and I have put about 4,000 miles on it. It's tight (no rattles, squeaks, etc.), and it's surprisingly comfortable to drive! I drove 750 miles (Utah to California), and I only stopped once for gas (I got just under 15 MPG on that trip...set cruise control at 85 almost the entire trip). BTW, I didn't notice any "wind noise" at 85, so I pedaled faster and I started hearing it around 95 or so. My G 63 is my favorite "daily driver." My wife likes it too which is icing on the cake!

Can’t say much about my 2020 G63. Took delivery last month and driven it less than 300 miles. Have yet to fill up gas. Compared to my 2018 G63, both have their pros and cons. No question that 2018 felt more solid. I should of kept it and given it to my son to drive since it retained its value so well. When I sold it, it had 3000 miles in 9 months. Fact is, driving the 2018 was miserable. The new G drives much better. It’s unfortunate that still need key fob to open the doors. Even though the prior felt more solid, real case car crashes for some didn’t fare to well. The current one has performed well in crash test. I don’t miss my 2018 G63.

I suppose the definition of "beta testing" could become an endless debate on this forum. Nevertheless, check out MB's "Drive Pilot", its vision of the future for self-driving automobiles (https://www.daimler.com/documents/in...ve-pilot-a.pdf). At the time of publication (2019), MB classified its vehicles at stage 2 of SAE's defined levels 0 - 5 of self driving proficiency. The Drive Pilot brochure describes the extensive testing performed on each automated system prior to it being unleashed on consumers. However, I have no doubt the MB continues to collect data through MeConnect on the real-world behavior of systems such as Active Lane Keeping Assist (ALKA). In fact, MB would be remiss in not doing so. In particular, ALKA is being beta tested because the variations in lane-marking on U.S. highways. Do I think MB is uploading video snippets every time ALKA kicks in? Absolutely. Does that make me a guinea pig? No, but only because I disable ALKA.

2018 S63
The noise issues are most likely from the XPEL stealth full cover as I have serious wind noise and sound all over after installment on my 2020 G63. I have sent it a couple of times back XPEL dealer then the issue goes away for a while. as soon as the tint losing a little the sound reappears again. It is very hard to notice, see or pinpoint the tint loosing location. Mine was around the windows. windshield and the mirror cover. I regret installing the full tint protection but it is necessary as far as I know as my car is matte color which is sensitive. In Addiction there is a buzzing noise coming from the passenger side speaker cover or the speaker it self when playing music I hope someone can help with a fix.
