Just saw this: https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyl...s-uber-wealthy

Cant help but believe that the issues plaguing our “regular” W223’s, plague these high style models as well. What do the “Uber-Wealthy” have to say about that?

The uber wealthy buy Range Rovers and Ferraris, reliability is not a high concern, otherwise we’d all be in Lexus’.

Not anymore they don't where I live, Range Rovers are being replaced with Cullinans. The big rover is no longer the sole choice in that segment.

Someone needs to start an Uber service for high end cars. Would make a fortune. I might use my Audi S8. Ooops. Did I mention my flawless Audi? I'm sorry.

Don't worry about mentioning it, it is a great car not for everyone but it is not a bad car.

All jokes aside, I have had a few minor issues with electronics giving off a few false warnings about driver assistance but they always clear up while on the fly or a start/stop cycle. Also, I'm not thrilled with the stereo

Do you have the upgraded B&O? I drove an E-Tron a while back with the upgraded stereo and found it to be excellent.

Unfortunately no. Very hard to find.

What is bad about the stereo, lack of bass or the clarity isn't what you expected?

Not enough bass and there is no midrange control or equalizer. Just treble and bass, fader and balance controls. The W222 was awesome and I didn't even have the 3D sound package.

I see, surprised me that there is no equalizer though, why would that be?
