EQS production already has begun, and the performance specs are out there, the interior people have sat in, people have driven it, etc. Yes, vehicles need more powerful variants, but people don't go to a Cadillac dealer because the heard the LGX V6 is under the hood and that is the V6 to have compared to the Toyota V6 or the Honda V6. People will buy specs, but regular consumers are not really going to care about what kind of battery is in a car. If GM sold an Equinox with the Ultium battery and Toyota sold a RAV4 with a Panasonic batter, that Rav4 is still going to spank the Equinox in sales because the Rav4 is better and has Toyota build quality, Toyota resale, Toyota reliability, etc. And Mercedes patterned with CATL on research and design of their battery pack, but the Mercedes battery is made by Mercedes in Mercedes factories, they aren't buying the battery off someone else. And it is the best or nothing, the battery tech is derived from their 7-time consecutive championship winning F1 car. -

DRIVEN: 2017 Cadillac CT6 Luxury 2.0E Plug in hybrid RWD (Used vehicle review) review posted soon -
Mercedes just built a factory in Germany just for the S-class and EV's (and EQS Is rolling off the line already), and are in the process of building a network of 9 battery factories in 7 location, some of which are already operational. Daimler is spending $85 billion on EV R&D, plants and equipment from 2021 to 2025. $85 billion seems pretty well invested. Because they aren't just coming for Tesla, they still have to fend off Audi and BMW too. Plus Mercedes needs batteries for the hybrids that are the bridge to full EV, and all the AMG 63 cars are going to be hybrid 4-cylinder with 643 hp.

Funny how that "we don't know if it is better than Tesla" criteria didn't apply to Mercedes EQS the other week. Also funny how you think folks don't choose cars based on engine choices. If that were the case then Cadillac would have no need to put out more powerful variants (a past complaint of yours) since, by your own admission, people RARELY pick a car for the engine. And at least GM is using a refutable and we'll known source for their battery tech, LG, as opposed to Mercedes and their Chinese developed and sourced battery tech. The best or nothing right? -
Except mercedes has tried to sell themselves as ‘the best’ yet they’re a decade behind /beneath the mountain (some people think) Tesla has built. General Motors is fully invested in a way daimler is not, and they (in your eye) can only move up. All Daimler’s minor efforts to date have been dismally poor, eradicating any momentum they could’ve had.
