Mercedes introduced a paid subscription to increase the speed in electric vehicles (2 photos)
Owners of the new EQE and EQS sedans, as well as crossovers of the same name, are in for an unpleasant surprise.
Last year, the company announced a small update, and now it is in effect. Machine power upon purchase partially blocked by software. To be more precise, then Mercedes cuts power by 20-24%, naturally, time increases overclocking.
The company explained that fans to drive will have such an opportunity for a voluntary-compulsory payment. For EQE subscription costs $60 per month or $600 per year, but for EQS owners for the same service you have to fork out $90 a month or $900 a year. Are you planning to ride by car until death? No question, here's an option for life subscription - for EQE for $1950, but for EQS - $2950.
For this amount, the EQE owner will receive an additional 60 horsepower and will reduce the car's acceleration speed to 100 km/h from 6 seconds to 5.1. Well, EQS can be accelerated to 100 km/ h in 4.5 seconds. The same buns can be bought in addition to the SUV Mercedes-EQ EQE 350 4MATIC and to the Mercedes-EQ EQS 450 4MATIC.
Well, then, apparently, there will be a paid subscription to brakes, airbags and turn signals.
