EQS Sedan
NEW MEMBER IN TEXAS

Hey everybody.... I just discovered the site. We just added a 2023 QES sedan to our garage that includes a Bentley Flying Spur, Ferrari California and an early Corvette C8 convertible. While we had a BMW i8 Roadster for a couple of years, this is our first venture into the world of 'all electric' transportation. Based on our 4 weeks of ownership, I can say with a high degree of certainty that we will NEVER use or understand all the technology that is available to us. Heck, I'm still working on getting the front and rear headrest pillows and the back seat cushions situated! My new routine is to go to the local MB store every other Thursday with my Wall Street Journal and drink/eat my way to breakeven while it's charging on their 'super charger'..... So far the experience has exceeded expectations.... I do miss hearing the sound and seeing the chandeliers and pictures on the wall of our garage shaking when it's started though. My wife says I'll get over that......

I'll get my daughter to help me with posting some pictures (..... and not for the first time either) when she's over this weekend. It's the 'teaching an old dog new tricks' thing.
