EQE [Renders] 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQE

[Merc1]

Makes sense. No need to having the C and GLC EV models and the EQE models. They can now join the R-Class in the one generation only Mercedes dust bin.

It's better to capitulate early and discontinue the model rather then live in denail and hemmorage more money. RIP EQE. You will not be missed.

Sales must be super bad. It's one thing for private buyers to reject it but if taxi drivers aren't touching it either then it's not worth keeping alive.

The R class wasn't that bad honestly. The R63 in particular.... Very desirable sleeper.

I recall that the EQE sedans initial reception was not so ill-boding at all. My local M-B dealership rep mentioned that interest was high when the car was presented in the showroom. But it appears that interest rapidly evaporated to next to nothing. There are a few running around in my immediate vicinity, but they've been here for a while and I have not been seeing additional new EQEs here. BMW i5's on the other hand, seem to be becoming more plentiful. And A6 etron Avants are becoming more common as well.

I suppose that it is safe to say that the EQE/EQS sedans have been a spectacular unit sales failure. Retiring them early appears a prudent business decision.

For Mercedes to pause production for USA models, was one thing, but to drop them all together is a yikes moment. The only reason the EQS isn’t being dropped I guess is because there is no immediate direct or indirect replacement coming for a few more years.

I'm wondering whether the official presentation of the "design converged" S-Class successors will be fast-tracked after all.

The new platform is not ready yet.
So, at least 3 years from now to get it operational that’s the main reason to keep the eqs family with the upgrade Eva 2 m. They have to be present in that segment even if sales will not be much better with the facelift.

No word on the EQS being discontinued. Maybe high-end fleet customers are buying it for chauffer services.

I think if they adjust pricing downwards, it'll sell. Margins won't be good, but better to have some margin, than no margin.

This is a depressingly long time.
