The EQS is such a weird beast. Is it a $150k car? With its performance and the amount of tech... yeah, probably. But that doesn't mean it has a desirable amount of tech. It is WAY overboard and there is way too much going on with the screens in front of the driver. It's brash and intrusive and I feel like I'm piloting the Enterprise (NCC-1701-E). Some may like it, but it isn't what I would be looking for in a luxury car. I did drive another EV the same day from a competing brand... I'm not saying which because I'm working on a story/video of it, but it was roughly half the price and yet a far more satisfying car. Enough so that I texted a picture to Albert and told him it could be the EV that replaces his 300C. -
But wait, there's more! Not only are there capacitive buttons on the steering wheel, they are simultaneously physical buttons too. So for example, swipe up or down for volume, but press for mute... all in the same button. I accidentally brushed a steering wheel button with my hand while turning and it changed the screen on the infotainment. There are dials on the steering wheel too. The right one changes the sport/normal/eco modes, but you can also press the button inside the dial to do the same thing. Two controls, literally inside each other, that do the same function. I dunno, maybe they're programmable or something, but they certainly aren't intuitive.
