Used Mercedes-Benz EQS EVs Now Cost Less Than or as Much as a New Tesla Model 3 LR

Car buyers know that luxury rides are poised to lose a lot of value as soon as they leave the dealership's parking lot. But in the EQS' case, it is a lot worse

My husband just bought a used 2023 MB, EQS 580 SUV, 9k miles, driven for only 9 months with 1 driver (the chauffeur drove the owner around). 70K w/o taxes and it is optioned out. That is pretty crazy depreciation considering they start at 125K.

How do you like it? I've seen a review that felt that the EQS gave a smoother ride than the Lucid. But I didn't like the crazy ambient lighting.

I just drove an EQS SUV at a MB focus group. I the ride was very smooth and comparable to Lucid. I did not like regen at all.

Getting it next week. The lighting was a turn off for me. It's kinda like being in a tacky limousine IMO.

If the inside didn't look like an 80's Gentleman's Club, that car might be an option. We test-drove one when we were looking for my wife's last car, which wound up being the M50, and I thought I got trapped inside of 2001 a Space Odyssey. The concept Buick Wildcat was an example of a pleasant retro-futuristic aesthetic but Mercedes picked the wrong era to call back to and it just doesn't appeal to me. The Buick used Art Decco styling cues and Mercedes went Mid-Century but not the good parts of that design.

If you could gauge it, how was the handling compared to the Lucid?

It was really on densely populated streets in Long Beach, but seemed ok, nothing jumped out at me
