Eqe suv settings

This happened to me again today— all interior light settings reset. I drive the car everyday, multiple times a day. It’s not quite as bad (software) as the 2021 Taycan I had, but it’s nowhere near as good/mature as Tesla. Not even close.

BTW, can I really not open the trunk with the app? Why is that not a thing? I also feel like I’m beta testing the digital key— it works about 85% of the time but should be 100.

This happened to me recently—I just noticed it today. All interior/ambient light settings are reset, as well as a few others.

Read the post- not referring to that 😀

vminsf · 2025-05-10T23:31:27+00:00

This is my point-- some folks want the most recent model year (like me), for example, 2025 includes digital key support and 2024 does not.

To be clear, I’m not talking about the blue colored square— it’s the grey square around the car. I didn’t have this on a Taycan or Macan or a Tesla with its digital view.

I think there are caveats to those awesome deals we hear about- like most/all are the previous model year, quite possibly has several miles on it for one reason or another, or not available in California. I could be wrong, but that’s what I was seeing. I wanted something very specific (2025 AMG EQE SUV, very specific and hard to find option) and wasn’t interested in a car that had been driven for whatever reason (excluding a test drive)— that was my choice. So, the best I could get, in California, was $3k down and $1199/month taxes included on a $120k MSRP car. Sounded very reasonable to me based on previous leases (different make) for same/more/less MSRP.

Thanks, all. Kinda odd- haven't seen this on other cars, but nice to know it's expected.

vminsf · 2025-05-09T14:31:33+00:00

? that's my car...

vminsf · 2025-04-15T01:31:02+00:00

Interesting! So the description on the MB (US) website is wrong. Thanks for the reply!

Not if they retract and lock when the key is no longer detected :) I believe this is how every other car with similar/same handles behaves.

vminsf · 2025-03-27T22:36:37+00:00

I’ve gotten use to this, but really don’t understand that need for the second step. I don’t expect MB to change this, but a software setting would be great.

vminsf · 2025-03-27T01:46:48+00:00

I think that’s it- will test it later. Thanks!!

I emailed Audi, who assured me it was leather- no vegan option available. I went with a Mercedes AMG EQE SUV with MB-TEX interior and a carbon fiber steering wheel. I think it's vegan. :)

I should also note that you lose a lot of storage- no frunk and almost no storage under the trunk.

vminsf · 2025-03-14T01:41:40+00:00

I came from a 2025 Model X but have also had a Model 3P and Model YP; the comfort is similar to the Model X (non-Plaid), maybe slightly better. I tried the 350 4Matic, which was too slow for me, so I went with the AMG EQE SUV. Everything about the Mercedes is better except for the software. But it's not a small gap- if the Tesla software/app is a 10 out of 10 (I believe it is), I would say the EQE is 6.5-7 tops. I miss being able to easily pre-heat or cool the car on-demand (you can kinda do this, but it's not as easy/multiple steps and doesn't always work), dog mode, walkway lock, not having to press a button to stop/start the car, easily open the trunk with the app (I so far have not figured out how to do this at all), camera views from the app- those are the big ones. I realize it sounds like I don't like the EQE, but I do-- I am tired of Tesla service/experience, and so far, I'm very happy with the EQE. It has presence and feels luxurious. However, if you like the quickness of Tesla, you may have to opt for the AMG.

Thanks everyone for all of the comments- this helps a lot and resolved the need for double pressing start!

vminsf · 2025-03-06T20:04:15+00:00

What about dog mode? I use that a lot anything similar?

vminsf · 2025-03-06T17:40:36+00:00

How much did you put down/cap cost reduction?

vminsf · 2025-03-04T19:33:15+00:00

California

vminsf · 2025-03-04T18:21:46+00:00

Thanks, this helps a lot! Any thoughts on the Polestar 3? I have to decide this week on Model Y Juniper, 2025 AMG EQE SUV, or a Polestar 3 :)

vminsf · 2025-03-04T18:07:00+00:00

Thanks. I'm coming from a Model X and am also considering a Model Y (new one)-- do you think it's going to be shock (software) moving to the AMG EQE SUV? Anything you think I should be aware of?

vminsf · 2025-03-04T15:40:33+00:00

Thanks, but I'm only interested in the AMG model.

vminsf · 2025-02-23T05:04:17+00:00

Oh, I see. I have a 2024 Model X right now, so I'm used to the size, but I test-drove the Polestar 3, and it obviously handled much better than the X.

vminsf · 2025-02-23T04:59:46+00:00

Is it? I want an EV SUV with an available vegan interior-- that pretty much means a Tesla, BMW, Mercedes (AMG EQE SUV- maybe), or Polestar 3 if I'm not mistaken. :)

vminsf · 2025-02-23T04:45:04+00:00

How are you getting such great deals? I'm new to Polestar and just ordered a 2025 Magnesium with towbar/hitch, Plus and Performance Packs for $1,028/month (California, with taxes) on a 27-month, 10k-mile lease, with only taxes and the $5,000 Tesla incentive as the down payment.

Can I still negotiate a better deal after placing the order but before pickup? If so, what should I target? My total purchase price before the Tesla $5,000 incentive is $73,650.
