Again, you've never driven either car and I have owned both but please tell me more about how the car I own compares to the one I owned before it lol
Opinions are fine, but you are totally closed minded on this and have zero personal experience from which to form an opinion. Its really strange. You would never know there was a difference between the two cars.
My S580 gets 20% better fuel economy than my S560, and drives exactly the same if not better...what is the issue? Again I've owned both cars you've never driven either, so don't tell me what kind of fuel economy difference there is.
The 48v system is not only there for fuel economy, some of the car's new features most notably the eABC suspension require the 48v system.
These are my last two trips to WV, top was the S560 in late May, and bottom is the S580 in August...thats a significant fuel economy improvement for no tradeoff:
I will tell you whatever I want to, especially when you’re being dishonest plus you’re giving me the standard condescending SW “you don’t own it so what do you know?” You said so many times you got 30mpg with your old one. I can happily pull up quotes. My friend who hates it on his I've known since 1998. I trust his word too.
I don’t like hybrid stuff or electric motors, it doesn’t matter why and I don’t owe anyone any explanation. It’s an opinion. I wouldn’t want to deal with all that years down the line. Remember I keep cars for decades. You are also pro EV, I am not. EV=batteries. I’m not surprised you like it. My friend who owns one doesn’t.
I will tell you whatever I want to. You said so many times you got 30mpg with your old one. I can happily pull up quotes.
Its rounding. I always take a picture like that at the end of every trip, the S580 gets better mileage than the S560 for sure.
My friend who owns one doesn’t.
Sure he doesn't lol. If your friend hates the 48v system on his he is as strangely biased against it as you are. I own the car, there is zero difference. The powertrain operates exactly the same.

In W222 it’s right with the ignition.
I get having cars coded or whatever but it’s not a big deal to hit a dedicated button to disable it.
Of course there is a button, the button in the W222 is not right with the ignition its on the console, the button for the W223 is right below the ignition. Hitting the button every time is obnoxious.
That may be the difference in the I6 and the V8. I’m amazed by how smooth it is.
I’ve actually started to leave it on. I’m having it coded this week, I will probably not code it off.
the actual mechanism itself is super smooth... it's like prius levels of seamlessness with how the engine fires up, i'm just talking about the delay from when you take your foot off the brake
a simple (or maybe not so simple lol) software optimization would be enough to make things right
