Hello everyone! I'm ecstatic to be joining the club. I got an amazing deal on a 2022 EQS 580 and I'm loving it so far.

I've been driving a Cadillac Lyriq for the past two years. It's been great, but I wanted a change. The EQS is on another level. It's a little smaller than the Lyriq, but it feels like I'm driving a spaceship.

There is A LOT to learn, so I'd love any advice, tips, tricks, hidden features, or settings I should know about.

I'm thinking I'll get the Connect+ services. It's $243 CAD for the year. One thing I can't figure out is how to turn on the climate control from my phone. I like to preheat or cool the car before getting in. Is that a standard feature, or does it require Connect+?

I've attached a photo of my 2022 window sticker. The car seems very well optioned, what do you think of the spec? I was surprised by a couple of things:

There's no fragrance atomizer in the glove box. I thought that came with one of the packages on my car.

There are no rear window sunshades. I thought those came with the Executive Rear Seat Package.

It doesn't have the automatic opening/closing front doors. I figured that was probably the case before buying it, but I'd love to know if anyone has successfully retrofitted them.

Any other features I should check for or settings I should change?

Thanks!

400 plus miles on a single full charge what else could you ask for ? I am absolutely 💯 impressed by the EQS580

Instead of celebrating my one-year anniversary of purchasing my EQS 450+, I'm in the process of dealing with an insurance claim. I got rear-ended by an unlicensed driver on Friday, and now my car is sitting in a lot awaiting transport to a repair shop.

On a plus note, I can now vouch for the stability and safety features of this vehicle. I was on the freeway and had slowed to about 45 mph when I was hit by a driver likely going about 60 mph. He veered enough to strike my rear driver-side quarter panel and then spun around and hit my front driver-side quarter panel. My EQS barely budged! My wife, who already suffers from back issues, ended up with a herniated disc, but we walked away relatively unscathed. It could've been far worse.

In conclusion, be safe out there. While we can control the way we operate our vehicles, we cannot control the way others operate theirs.

Any suggestions (as to how to find it other than parts department) or offers for where I can get a single (or double) rear headrest pillow for the EQS Sedan? The color is Macchiato beige (8U13)

If you have one that you don't need, please send me an offer.
