Where I live and work there are so many Tesla's around me I can't even count them. There are still more gasoline engine cars on the road than EV's overall, but the amount of Tesla's I see everyday is astounding

My dealer sent me email with $10k in incentives from MB on EQS SUV on top of regular discounts. I have personally never seen any EQS on the road.

Maybe your area - people are very environmentally conscious…

I've seen several on the road and I know somebody who has one. They advertise lease cash on the sedan, but not the SUV.

Its a liberal area but so in NYC, and like we have said most people who buy EVs don't do so out of environmentalism.

For the record, the EQ models from Mercedes are selling fine. Incentives have returned to the ICE models too, I'm not sure why we're looking at this in a vacuum. I don't know how you could be in NYC and not see an EQS anyways. I've seem them around and I was recently picked up by one (business trip) from the airport. Usually I get a W222 or Tahoe, so that was a change.

EQS sedans i have seen (maybe 3) but not the SUVs
I’m in the city a few times per week and live where any new car shows up immediately.

Teslas are everywhere though!

Please show me $10k lease incentives on Sclass or GLS.

My local Mercedes dealer is selling their EQ models at list with no ADM, and are advertising $7500 lease cash and an additional $2500 bonus cash.

I saw a BMW iX today in white. Not such a looker in my opinion. I did see a Mercedes EQC SUV the other day and it caught my eye as I thought it looked pretty good. I should have snapped a pic.

They don't have $10k lease incentives, those are of course specific to what's going on in the EV market (see EV Price War thread). If you actually talk to a salesperson you can get GLS450s with a discount (none on the essentially special order V8 models) and S500s are selling for $10-$12k off all day long. You can look in the forums to see that's not isolated to my area.

I've only seen one SUV on the road in Seattle, but saw several in Atlanta last week. Go figure. It will be interesting to see the quarterly sales report.

There's a lot of "special offers" running: Special Offers | Mercedes-Benz USA (mbusa.com)

Those numbers/offers are usually useless imo. The more realistic offers are flat lease cash and cash discounts that I see. The only two have these at my last visit are iX and 8s.
