They decided to save money and moved the dashboard from the 2021 EQS model, which was designed 5 years ago

I fully agree. Mbenz used to place the S right at the top of their priority (all new tech would first show up in the S, and all their R&D budget is more focused on the S than any other model). Not anymore nowadays. It’s always behind tech wise, and the plastic and how panels are put together is just as good or sometimes worse than other lower-end models.
