The EQB drove just like the GLB that it's based on. Nothing special and not worth the hassle of finding a charger to try.

The EQE was very fun to drive, but still far from a Tesla. If you get a chance, I'd recommend driving it to try something different. There were also some quirks that would prevent me from ever buying one, including the >$75k sticker price:
  • Front windows don't go all the way down, but still remain ~1/2" above the sill when down as far as possible. This is a killer on your arm when you try to rest your arm on an open window.
  • The hood can only be opened by the dealer unless you're willing to use tools and take a panel off from under the steering wheel. So minor tasks like filling the washer fluid become an issue.
  • No frunk
  • Back seat was very uncomfortable
