Should you wait to buy the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS? Ownership experiences at 17 months *REPOST*
Published 2024-04-21
This month, I discuss the new features for the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan. I also discuss the ongoing depreciation among electric vehicles, and focus on the EQS depreciation and why this is occurring. I wrap it up with my recommendation on whether I will upgrade when the 2025 models come out and whether you should wait for the 2025 models or go ahead and buy an EQS now.

2023 owner here too and the 2025 model doesn’t have enough improvements for a trade-in. For me to upgrade, there must be something significant like the J3400 connector, a decent size frunk, walk-away lock eliminating start-stop bottom, and/or 11kW AC charging. I wish there were some lights behind the front grill stars.

I want one ! Waiting to see if used prices go down any further. My model S is a 2014 with 130k mikes on it. Mercedes only offered 11 k. Ugh!!! It still runs perfectly so torn on switching. At 54 I’m now the old guy who wants comfort ;). When a young person asked me what’s important once you hit your 50s I simply say avoidance of pain and trying to maximize comfort!

Very clear explanations, good job bro 👌

Love your videos and enthusiasm. Purchased the 2024 EQS 450 4matic amg line this week and it's so stunning. 😊 I also love the current grill better than whats coming in 2025. They probably listened to much to people in YouTube comments. 😅

Will be interesting to see if (or how much) the changes in 2025 effect that depreciation as well.

Another great video sir!

In Australia I have the digital key handover feature in Mercedes Me for a 2022 EQS53 AMG, strange how features vary world wide

Thanks

Anyone know if the grill and hoodstar from the 25’s are interchangeable on 23/24’s? Love the elegant look of the hoodstar and want to add it on my 2023

I have been waiting delivery of my EQE 2024 since March. It has already been built and awaiting shipping. How is it taking so long for Mercedes Germany to ship the vehicle to North America?

You’ve saved at the pumps and servicing but when you factor in the depreciation and insurance compared to an ICE car I expect you have taken a fairly big hit to your wallet.
