Bound to happen but seems a little quick out the blocks ....

Mercedes-Benz EQS, EQE, And EQS SUV To Get Standard Heat Pump, More Range

The Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan, EQE sedan, and EQS SUV EV are set to receive some improvements that should result in longer driving ranges, at least for the dual-motor variants.

A lack of heat pump was an obvious glaring mistake only possible due to parts shortage. I would never buy an EV without one, particularly one as expensive as the EQS.

Imo you could have expected it to be added soon because physics dictate that the EQS without heat pump is going to be disappointing in the winter. We've seen range drop by over 50% in other cars because of it.

Yes, I wish I had of understood more about that aspect early on.

Would it have changed my buy decision? No but for the next time, very likely I would check that better.

There is in fairness quite a list of things that this flagship should have come with, that in reality, it did not.

Yep, going to be part of all MB manufactured after July 2023...
