Mercedes is quietly planning to wind down the slow-selling EQS
There’s a soft kind of silence around Mercedes right now, one that makes sense when you hear the company is quietly preparing to end the EQS. It didn’t quite land how they hoped, maybe too sleek, maybe too soon really. Still, something about the car feels like it will be missed once it’s gone, even by people who never bought one. The whole idea of it had more glow than the reality, I think, at least in a way that’s hard to pin down.
Mercedes EQS
Feels like something built for a future that never fully arrived. There’s a calmness in how it drives, almost detached at times. Maybe too quiet for its own good, like it keeps forgetting it’s supposed to impress anyone. Some parts feel special, others empty and kind of cold. Still, you can sense effort beneath everything, fading in a slow kind of way that just keeps going.
BMW i7
The i7 stands tall, elegant but uneasy about it. There’s pride there, yet it feels like the car wants to apologize for something you can’t see. Cruising in it feels strange—grand but disconnected. The quiet hum hides the weight it carries underneath. I think it knows it’s showing off a little too much, even if that’s the whole point.
Audi e-tron GT
The e-tron GT always feels like it’s mid-thought. Quick, heavy, and graceful all at the same time somehow. Sometimes the energy feels forced, other times just right enough. Look at it and you expect it to change your mood, but it doesn’t always do that. Still, when the light hits right, the car looks exactly how it should’ve been, maybe better than it drives.
Lucid Air
The Lucid Air feels like someone tried to make a dream work on paper first. In reality, it glides too easily, almost too smooth for its own good. It’s fancy but fragile in a way that’s hard to explain. Driving it feels impressive and distant at the same time. You begin to wonder if being that perfect actually helps, or maybe it doesn’t.
Tesla Model S
There’s a weariness that comes from how long the Model S has been doing this. Still fast, still loud in silence, still very itself. Feels like it’s trying to stay young but doesn’t quite manage it anymore. Some quirks never left, and now they feel part of its DNA. Maybe that’s the reason it still matters, or at least still hangs on.
Genesis Electrified G80
The G80 electric version feels more hidden than forgotten. Moves with a quiet dignity that doesn’t need attention much. The steering has patience; the shape looks treated kindly in a reserved way. It’s the sort of car that stays calm about luxury. Maybe a little too calm, like it’s content to stay in the background.
Porsche Taycan
The Taycan has energy that hums in low notes, like it’s holding back just to stay polite. Everything feels tight and designed, maybe too designed for some. It doesn’t relax easily, if at all. You want it to feel natural, but it rarely does in a simple way. Still, few cars make a curve feel as deliberate, almost stubborn.
Cadillac Lyriq
The Lyriq lives between ambition and caution. Sometimes looks futuristic, sometimes a little awkward and unsure. There’s pride in the way it sits parked, like it knows what Chevrolet doesn’t, in a way. Inside feels earnest but not quite settled yet. You keep thinking it’s close to something, but not yet there, maybe next time.
Jaguar I-Pace
The I-Pace has that odd trait of being good but forgotten. Drives with a smooth confidence, nearly light on its feet. Then some moments it feels unsure, like it doesn’t know which class it belongs in. The shape still works though, even now. It deserved more people paying attention, I think, but that never really happened.
Polestar 2
The Polestar 2 brings the cool minimal feel but misses warmth. Sit inside and everything’s fine, but the spark doesn’t light the way you expect. It’s polite, secure, and feels engineered within an inch of being alive. Hard not to like, but even harder to love for some reason. Maybe that’s why people hesitate and kind of move on.
