The ambient lighting is awesome IMO. It can be made brighter or dimmer, be set to themes or 64 different colors, and turned off entirely. I see no reason to have an opinion on it one way or another since its so user customizable.

I LOVE the ambient lighting in my S560.

I just think it’s overwrought in the EQS. Overdone and very overwhelming. But good it can be turned off. Maybe it can be pared down to now be on everywhere etc.

Glad you love it in yours

I really like it in our 5 Series and X3. I've found since we have a color set for each car at a level we like that I rarely make any changes to the color or the level.

In the picture of the EQS it was just cranked up too high for my taste. Our 5 Series has Ivory white leather with contrast stitching and I use the blue lighting set at a pretty low level.

It is pretty neat and I get what MB is doing to make it quite the experience. Too expensive for me

Just turn it down or off, no big deal.

Not a review video, just a load of footage of the car moving and interior details. Yup, i still think it's stunning. Hands down my favorite large sedan right now.

EQS blows away S-Class in refinement.

I think the 'establishment' s-class in the video looks 'old' compared to the futuristic eqs.

Lol - said the guy with an lx570. The eqs will evolve.

And then Elon wants to tell you Model S is the S-class competitor. I don't know how people ever believed something like that, Model S is Sentra Nismo compared to EQS.

Looks are subjective but this is hardly an ugly truck, it seems to be the most desired of the 200LX based on my IH8Mud time.

I watched that, doesnt surprise me, like I said EVs are ideal for this sort of car.

He thinks its ugly too, and that remains my issue with it.

Yes you've stated your issue many times but i don't think he said it was ugly, i think he said it was blob-like and the s-class is more stately or something.

I didn’t really enjoy the review. For some reason I just couldn’t connect with the reviewer. I can’t wait to see the new EQS in person, I think it’s gonna make quite a statement . I like what I see. But S class is nice too.
