I clicked on the link for the 2008 video and as soon as I saw the G-Wiz, I came back to this video. How times have changed... And certainly for the better.

I think the reviewer should do some home work before making videos of electric cars. Efficiency of electric cars is different to normal ones. What about charging on public chargers on the streets? They offer 22kw AC. This car cannot manage beyond 7.2 kw AC charging.

Nice videos. Just about to check out some of your other videos!

If you're a Mercedes fan get the EQC, but if you like best range, tech, supercharger network and performance get the X

3:37 That driving position! Looks like he’s sitting on a toilet with his trousers round his ankles while reaching forward for the wheel?!

[mattarontaylor]

Short and very informative, I like it

Watched until the end, eagerly waiting for you to test its autopilot and self-driving functions, and to tell us about how it improves technocogically via over-the-air software updates... but sadly you didn't review these highly advanced features. Any reason why?

[amigatommy]

etron is very inefficient as is the Jag. Efficient power use is important.

The opening music is from Toyota Japan Commercial.

So tesla model x is only in the description as clickbait. No mention at all how it really compares to it. Might that be because tesla only has direct sales and your website cant make any money on it if you buy one....

Those pedals are useless clutter. My experience with my model 3 is you set it and forget it. Once you get use to the strong regen setting it is perfect.

If they were to upgrade their charging capabilities, this car can win. The biggest thing about this car is the QUALITY interior that’s above any electric competitor today. Just a reality. The Model X has WAY better performance and safety, but this is a Benz. This oozes luxury

Model X not
To mention the supercharger network that separates all the competitors

[simonhenshall]

Any owners of older higher mileage EQCs able to comment on reliability?

[oliverhelander]

Tesla has its very OWN charging network that is best on the planet with - as of July 2022 - has +35, 000.00 SUPER-CHARGERS.

[dzerres]

Why isn't the Tesla Model X being compared on the "closest rivals" list? Hint: because the X is better in range, speed, 0-60, recharging rate and has the supercharger network, that's why.

[stavrinity]

Choose the Mercedes, because it looks a lot better than the model x

[davedyer]

slower than a Model X, less range, no Autopilot and no access to Superchargers, no contest. This car is behind the Tesla before it is delivered to customers

I got 250 miles out of the I Pace Demo, as I would have a charger at home in my garage, and do about 60 mile round trip into Birmingham four days a week changing my F Pace to an I Pace makes sense I am sorry to say as a petrol head, I am lucky to own something else for the weekend but ..but can’t stop progress
