The main competitor for the German car will be the Tesla Model S, which has long become the standard. What can Mercedes, the leader in the S class, offer?
First, let's look at the engine - the Mercedes-Benz EQS580 4Matic has two of them with a total power of 516 hp. With. This allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 3,7 seconds. Fast, isn't it? But that's almost twice as slow as the Tesla Model S Plaid!
The American "style icon" overcomes the speed barrier in just 2,07 seconds. This is expected - after all, Tesla has almost twice as much power - 1020 hp. With.
In general, the Mercedes-Benz EQS580 4Matic is far from the leaders in acceleration in the segment of S-class cars. Few people will feel inferior when owning such a prestigious car with a long history of the brand! These are not Tesla upstarts!

However, there are complaints about the appearance of the Mercedes-Benz EQS580. It was expected that he would copy the S-class in the back of the W223 as much as possible, or receive the traditional features of classic Mercedes. Looking at an electric car, only by the icon you can understand that this is a Mercedes-Benz!
But the braking of the EQS580 4Matic is at the level, however, as always with cars of this brand. The electric car is controlled unexpectedly easily and sharply. It can be compared to a rear-wheel drive Porsche Taycan despite weighing 2585 kg, half a ton more than a Porsche.
Mercedes-Benz engineers, when creating the serial EQS580 4Matic, clearly focused on their consumer niche, which, in fact, is still free. They didn't make the fastest electric car in history, although they could have.
Mercedes-Benz EQS580 4Matic captivates with its level of comfort. The technical characteristics of the model are not amazing, but very worthy.
The result was an electric S-class, which has no competitors in terms of luxury and prestige! The main rival of the Tesla Model S Plaid is rather high technology. Inside, asceticism reigns here and an unusual design for most drivers.
