    .............................................................
    Mat has finally got his hands on the record-breaking Mercedes EQXX - and he’s going to find out just what it’s like to drive!
    He’s joined the team at Mercedes’s private test track, and he’s going to see if he can match the performance & efficiency of the record-breaking EQXX as he performs a number of laps around their track.
    You see, the EQXX is no ordinary electric car. It has a world record for driving the furthest distance on a single charge! In July 2022 it was driven from Stuttgart in Germany to Silverstone in the UK - over 1,200km!
    So with that in mind, Mat had to find out if he could match that performance, so he's going to see just how efficient this one-of-a-kind EV is when he gets behind the wheel. But of course, that’s not all he has in mind - after all, this is a carwow review! So naturally, he’ll be testing its times over the standing quarter-mile!
    So what do you think - will Mat match the Mercedes engineers' performance in the EQXX? And more importantly, is this one of the best-looking EVs you've ever seen?! Let us know in the comments!

      This is a great project. I'm not a fan of EVs, but when affordable EVs, start to get decent range, they become a more desirable proposition.
      I think the next test should be to see how far the car goes in a more realistic drive. So: a bit faster overall, a few more hazards to make you brake unexpectedly, a few slow vehicles that you have to overtake, music on, air-con/heater on.
      Then see if you can get 700-800km out it. We know that driving the AMG like what I'm suggesting, you would be lucky to get 300!

    8:00 i'm from the netherlands but i actually agree with Mat here. When you're waiting at a roundabout it sometimes is not possible see the indicator light of a car, at least not early. So you end up waiting for a car because you don't know if it will go of then last second you can see it's indicator and you waited for nothing. I always put my indicator to the left on a roundabout until i go off.

Were I to try to explain that to my mother who is non-technical, (also not a dog), the theory of propagation of radio signals, she would listen intently, then ask if I'd like a cup of tea. Regardless of the level of simplification, to someone who will has only a simple understanding it will never sink in. I went to a talk on the 'Arduino' this evening, but glazed-over during the demonstration of writing a C++ compiler to flash a set of lights. (very early). I simply did not have enough background to understand the whys and wherefores of writing in programming language. Like the aforementioned metaphorical 'dog', I could only wait until the 'treats' (tea and biscuits) arrived. No offence intended, so please don't take it on someone else's behalf. 🙂

    I'm watching him talk about coasting and coasting technique, and how special the EQXX is in coasting. How to look far ahead and pick your line. How to catch the car as it slows down coming back up a hill.
    And all I can think is, so what?
    I figured all of this out on my own in my family's 2018 Camry Hybrid.
    Is all of this really that unusual to car buffs?
    I do have to admit that the way that the car itself helps handle regen at 15:45 is new and impressive.
    And 1220 km is 762.5 miles, which is slightly longer than the best nominal gas range that I know of (there is a massive pickup with a large tank that gets about 745 miles).

    Most car presenters don't appear to grasp the difference between kWh and kW. You mentioned that the solar roof produces 1kWh, which is wrong - it may have been a verbal slip on your part A Watt is a measure of POWER ( Energy per second), 1Joule per second, ie. ENERGY per sec. A kW is of course 1000 W. A kilowatt hour is the amount of ENERGY produced from 1 kW acting over 1 hour or 3600 sec. Thus, 1kWh = 1000 Joules x 3600 = 3.6 Mega Joules (MJ). Thus engine power or solar output from the roof is measured as kW while battery capacity or energy stored is measured in kWh.

      When taken to production the car won't use 3d printing unless they plan to only make a small amount, it will also be very expensive.

      @@youngspen I agree with your centement but 3D printing cannot make or do better quality parts than "conventional" methods. 3D printing is in my opinion how you cheaply make the very first one, the prototype, then you get the rest made by mould or machined out of better materials by better methods. 3D printing is a very good way to make something that is low volume or bespoke as long as you can make it sturdy enough for the job. So in that respect I agree.

However this will have a negative effect due to cost, time and manufacturing, the line is not set up to work with 3d printing. It depends on cost which will be reflected in the purchase price. Therefore they will go conventional and efficiency will be similar to Tesla for twice the price.

      @@youngspen yeh but that's like I'm saying its for F1 so think about it, the criteria is likely this> Keep a spare of everything but make a new one when we use one. Can we make a new one quickly on site and make adjustments on the design quickly incase we need to correct something or if we need to make modifications to suit. How close to the action can we do this and what levels of success rate are we getting reliability wise if we've done our maths right and all the stresses it wil etc are well calculated.
      You best believe that if they had to print out a part on the spot that turned out to work good in the race, they would then make it back at base by the best method available and it wouldn't be a printer. For stuff like F1 intakes and the likes then yeah 3D printing is capable of doing that for fun and that's your final product as long as its a part known for not throwing up issues if its not built perfectly. You won't beat machining bare material blocks though, if you can then you haven't got the best machines, it's that simple.
