2022 EQS 580 4matic, 2022 GLS 450
My last post

I'm dumping my 2022 EQS 580 without regrets.
I can't leave town in it with no level 1 charging in range.
The promised infrastructure has never materialized, thanks Joe..
The car seldom garners a second look with it's oddball styling nowhere near reflecting what I paid for it!
The depreciation is a disaster.
No more early adoption again for me without leasing.
I'm going back to hybrids where the market seems to be headed.
Nice ride, poor looks, bad investment.
Y'all take care.

Forum members really like the EQS for its quietness, smoothness, effortless acceleration, ride quality and comfort in general, it is a shame that charging/range is the issue you are facing in an otherwise nice vehicle. Good luck with your next vehicle, are you going back to the S-Class W223 since you have a GLS already?

Infrastructure sucked when I bought my EQS. But I bought it thinking that the infrastructure would drastically improve. 3yrs later and Is basically the same... TERRIBLE!
I never care what other peoples thoughts or opinions are and I am not an attention seeker so that's not a problem for me.
I am also curious about what your next vehicle is or will be?

Lol, do you think Biden personally stopped charging stations from being built?

Biden personally promised to build half a million. Thus far he has built eight. Even far-left CBS "news" couldn't defend that record.

I totally agree with the infrastructure issues in some locations. Where I live we have had at least 8 new dcfc installed in the last year. But where I grew up at in another state even a huge mercedes dealership only has level 2 charging and there are only 4 dcfc within a 30 mile radius for non tesla vehicles. I am hoping access to teslas chargers come no later than 1st qtr next year. About the looks I constantly get compliments which I don't mind about our EQS AMG, my wife hates the attention though. Her favorite features are the sound system and the cabin filtration keeping out unwanted odors. Our car we bought used a year ago for 75k which I felt sorry for the original owner who spent 155k. We will probably never go back to gas cars but I wish you well in your search there are a lot of good cars out there!
