Incorrect article name?

Not seen any reference to EQ-Class. All the PR and articles call this a brand, not a specific model. Warren (talk) 17:38, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What name would you prefer? Is Mercedes-Benz EQ acceptable? I haven't found anything analogous at Category:Daimler AG marques or Category:Mercedes-Benz, and I don't think a plain "EQ" is acceptable, which doesn't leave much other than "Mercedes-Benz EQ".

That makes more sense thanks! Warren (talk) 17:09, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Doubtful assertion

"The Generation EQ is the first EQ model.[2] It is an entry-level sport utility vehicle (SUV) .....

The eventual production version of this vehicle will be in the same category as the Tesla Model 3.[2]"

This seems doubtful. The Tesla Model 3 is a sedan, not a sport utility vehicle. Possibly, the source should have refered to the Tesla Model X.Lathamibird (talk) 03:36, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The author is referring to price point. I've replaced the text to state price only. (The author also says that it will arrive at the same time as the Model 3, which appears to be his own speculation.) Mind matrix 19:13, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
