Rick owns a Tesla Y and an electric Mercedes Benz AMG EQE53, he compared the cars during at interview at the Coochin Creek High chargers.
Over a coffee at the Coochin Creek high-speed chargers, Rick told me why he bought an electric Mercedes AMG EQE53. “We had a Plaid Model X on order when Tesla decided not to make RHD S & X. I was in the US at the time and began looking at high-end alternatives to purchase when we returned to Australia. I drove most of the German options available here including Porsche, BMW, Mercedes & Audi. Of them, Mercedes had the best attributes for me.
In the US, Rick was based in Texas and said many of his fellow Texans were buying EVs, not to mitigate global climate change but because the air quality, particularly in Dallas/Fort Worth, was poor. EV penetration has doubled in Texas in the past 2 years in an effort to reduce the pollutants from tailpipe emissions that get trapped by the heat, humidity, and topography of the area. Breathing is very important to people.
Rick charges his Mercedes-Benz EQE53 and Tesla Model Y at home in Australia from a gen-3 Tesla destination charger. He tells me that: “In the US, Tesla basically has the only reliable nationwide charging network and we have done several 100,000 km of cross-country driving in our Tesla using Superchargers with occasional use at Electrify America and other DCFC networks. It’s obvious why North America has adopted NACS. In Australia, the story is different.
“The Mercedes MBUX is a completely different philosophy than Tesla. There are lots of buttons, all designed to help the driver keep hands on wheel and eyes on road. Most features can be performed either with the buttons and the remaining through the voice assistant. But to be sure, it’s a very different experience than Tesla. After almost ten years of mostly driving Teslas, it took a few hours sitting with the car to find all the settings and get them configured the way I want.
