Trying to decide between '25 Macan EV Turbo and '25 AMG EQE SUV

[hulz99]

Price wise pretty similar (fully spec'ed out). Feature-wise also as far as I can tell. I know the range of AMG is smaller. AMG Sales guy was pretty dismissive of the Macan, saying its not a "true porsche", more like an overpriced Audi since they share the platform. Any thoughts appreciated (reliability/depreciation/comfort, etc etc).
Thanks in advance

Mercedes salesmen have always been obnoxious, elitist and dismissive of other brands sadly. One could argue the EQE is also not a real Mercedes?

Nowadays, it’s hard to sell EVs…

I think that from an image point of view Audi and Mercedes are on the same level while Porsche is on a higher level.

do you want a sporty SUV or a comfortable cruiser?

I'd put Mercedes marginally ahead of Audi but behind Porsche.

Again used to be a hard core Tesla enthusiast/fan till suddenly out of nowhere I decided I deserve better and started looking and the amg eqe was the first luxury
Non Tesla ev that came to my mind that has acceleration close to the model s Tesla. However after reading so many reviews something of how the steering felt or how the car handled made me disregard completely. Tycan always has been on top of the list however to get close to the model s acceleration it will cost at least 150k+. Next came the bmw. Ix has a beaver Like front grill which I didn’t like. Then i5 m 60 little less acceleration costs $100k however the rear end look and numb steering were the cons. When I first read about the Macan especially the turbo I was that’s it. That was back in April. Allocation reserved June. Took delivery exactly four weeks ago from tomorrow and have been living the Porsche experience since then.
so don’t even think twice go with the Macan!!!!!!
