What did you go for Clemens, we are all interested in the running and "ranges" of these cars even if we do not wish to be an early adopter so do let us all know how it works out for you.
We live way out in the sticks and these EV are a no go area unless you have TESLA as the others have next to no network to plug into and the ranges are abysmal tbh at the moment, so hydrogen will be the only thing that makes sense down here one day or synthetic fuel for the ICE.


Bought a Mercedes EQS 580. The range is given with over 700 km. When I have more experience with it I can gladly report on it if it is of interest.
For me, the infrastructure is no problem in terms of daily driving. I have a wallbox in my private garage and a charging possibility in my company.

Thanks Clemens, that is a rather special EV indeed and I expect it will wipe the floor with Musk's offerings in terms of finish, engineering and pure style - enjoy your kilometres and with that range many of them thumbs
