Certainly not going to last 10-20 years like past Mercedes. Looks like a huge long-term burden. I'd pass.

Sony's take on the "cram as many screens as possible in a car" idea:

Tacky af, typical MB kitsch. Oh btw didn't they get Toyota's memo that premium midsize sedans don't sell? Stupid Daimler they are in trouble now, should have canceled the E a generation ago.

Lol agree. Mercedes interiors always felt over the top

Not sure if it's just me, but I feel Mercedes designs (interior and exterior) have been going downhill lately... their interiors just feel so tacky now with the huge hyperscreen and all the led lighting. Also really dislike the gauge cluster since its basically a screen that sticks out of the dashboard. Even the previous gen was questionable where the gauge cluster and infotainment screen were attached to each other to form a huge tablet.

Haha I was thinking the same thing. That's a feature not a bug.

I'm not a huge fan of the hyperscreen, but that wide expanse of nothing on the normal screen looks worse to me

So many things can go wrong with all that tech.. the classic mechanical buttons are better.

I wonder how well those screens hold up in a few years. All the heat, humidity, freezing temps, moisture, sunlight and etc gottta wear those down pretty quickly.

What do you all think? I dunno...I'd like to see some wood somewhere...

Why? Cars have had infotainment screens for decades now, which have not been damaged by sunlight.

Actually no. They're automotive grade and as such are extensively tested to withstand the abuse that goes along with the car being in a variety of situations. I have a car from 2002 with a nav screen that works perfectly and these are undoubtedly higher quality. Tesla did not use automotive grade screens in the early Model S and they failed fairly quickly. I would be more worried about the computing hardware powering all of these processing functions over the long term rather than the screens themselves.
