Another savage Merc EV review by SavageGeese

These two are just being brutally honest. Love their sarcasm. I wonder if they will ever get another MB to review.

it's for aero but i'd rather have a usable car.

feedback can only improve their product.

proof will be in the sales numbers.

I wouldn't be surprised if the EQ line sells well, because they are Mercs after all and there is a lot of brand loyalty involved. If all this push to crossovers has taught me anything, it's that people really don't actually value beautiful design. They value trendy design, whatever looks new or different in the moment.

Personally I view these cars as a swing and a miss. Exterior and interior dash designs are wholly unattractive, and the driving reviews consistently label them as half baked products.

Mercedes enthusiast seem to be almost as loyal as Subaru owners. Seems like no amount of poor reliability, interior rattles, overall mediocrity dampens their enthusiasm.

as as a review, it's actually a well done review, they're good.
Though some of their off the top of their head comments kind of falter, a little more thoughtful commentary and I would have said they're excellent.

Love the car.

QFT.

Insightful. Suddenly everything made sense when I read this.

Didn’t watch it. What’s the punchline?

MB has nothing in the market that I would consider as a DD. Poor reliability especially all current ICE engines. Nice exteriors, except EQ models. Interiors are getting weirder with each refresh. Extra poor dealer experience and corporate customer care.

Really a great review actually. A look into the future of transportation, where vehicles will simply be differentiated by gimmicks. They are essentially going to drive the same.
