Lots to love about this Truck, look for more in the story I will publish in a bit.

This analogy would imply that people will not want to buy any other EQ product if they see the EQS as it is a FAILURE in Style! If anyone see's the EQS why would they want to buy any E-Class, C-Class, B-Class, A-Class or SUV from MB when you have such a pathetic looser of style auto! There is NOTHING that I desire either inside or out on the EQS, a Hideous failure of design by the engineers at Mercedes.

You have to take that 20-40% with a grain of salt as the power density of current Lithium and even the Lithium Silicone has only so much room before having to go solid state. I read MB press release and it could easily be taken as a 20-40% gain on MB own current battery pack of power, not 20 to 40% gain over all lithium battery packs currently out there. Also, with a move to the technology that is in these auto's, the ability for custom software that gives a very different experience is huge. Software that can unlock additional range in the battery pack such as Tesla has done, increase performance in the electric motors that Tesla has done and allowed additional functionality in current tech in the auto as Tesla has done is the leadership that will be interesting to watch as GM, FORD, Mercedes-Benz, VW, Hyundai, Kia, Audi, Porsche, etc. bring their EV portfolio to market and with OTA updates, how often they push out updates that improve things and or offer for purchase enhancements. Honestly, much like the computer industry with Office 365 or other software as a service, an auto very well could contribute big time to an Auto companies bottom line when they start to offer updates as a service.

24hrs away from the GMC Sierra EV Denali Reveal.

Makes me believe that the Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban, GMC Yukon/Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV will be pretty good when they do start rolling out EV versions.

Playing with Rivian configurator to see what all is available now and I like what they offer. Here is my R1S SUV that I like and I would get if I can just get access to a demo unit to test fit myself and the back seat in.

Seems GM is benchmarking the Rivian R1S SUV. General Motors Benchmarking Rivian R1S: Photos (gmauthority.com)

Sad that at 2,112 miles a GMC Hummer EV1 truck is totaled and up for auction. Crashed 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 Up For Auction Online (insideevs.com)

Not according to the MB News section, this is the first I have heard that the EQS AMG is actually out. I know Mercedes showed off a concept AMG at one time. but nothing else on their news site since. Interesting is that the EQE AMG has been announced and shown. Mercedes-Benz USA | Online Newsroom (mbusa.com) Doing a Search for AMG EQS shows nothing, so at this time, I have to wonder if @smk4565 is confused with the AMG EQE SUV that is coming out. @Drew Dowdell Looking forward to what you learn about the AMG EQ????????? tomorrow. Did find on their Global Page talks about pre-orders of AMG EQS sedan. but it does not look to be out or in the U.S. yet.
