Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX

The Vision EQXX

... that the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX (pictured) traveled over 1,000 km (621 mi) from Sindelfingen to Cassis on a single charge with energy to spare? Source: In order to quite literally drive this point home, the automaker drove the EQXX from Sindelfingen, Germany to Cassis, a small town in the south of France. The concept traveled 626.3 miles and still managed to arrive with about 15% charge remaining, enough for another 80-mile side quest.
- ALT1: ... that the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX (pictured) has a drag coefficient of 0.17, the lowest of any battery electric vehicle? Source: Add in extensive weight savings, tires that optimize low rolling resistance, and an aggressive aerodynamic design that produces a drag coefficient of 0.17 and Mercedes EQ seems to have the makings of what would be the most efficient electric car ever devised.

Hi sorry just a comment I actually creates this article on 7 Jan, should I put the nomination that section? Am new to this... X750. Spin a yarn? _{Articles I've screwed over?} 07:07, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- @X750: All good, I'll move it to the right place and post a review shortly. Hameltion (talk, contribs) 17:44, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
New enough, long enough, well written and sourced. No copyvio, image looks good. ~~This appears to be your second~~ Third DYK, so no QPQ required. I made some small edits myself, hope they're all good. In the #Overview section, there is a bit of accidental redundancy (in particular, this group and its contribution are mentioned twice). And you say "Changes included ..." ... changes to what? Overall nice article.
Any hook is going to be slightly promotional, but what else are you gonna do with this kind of topic. ALT0 works, but I might refine it slightly:
- ALT2: ... that the one-off Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX concept car (pictured) can travel over 1,000 km (621 mi) on a single charge? "One-off" is cited in (e.g.) [1]
ALT1 is interesting but the source doesn't seem to support that definitive a claim (also the "lowest" part of the hook is absent from the article, but anyway not recommending to use this hook) Again, well done! Hameltion (talk, contribs) 18:30, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah no problem mate, do whatever you feel would be best for DYK. You know more than me. Also, minor correction, it is my third nomination but still no QPQ. Maybe I'll add the lowest thing in when this article reaches GA status. Cheers Hameltion. X750. Spin a yarn? _{Articles I've screwed over?} 20:22, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
  - Gotcha, thanks. Struck ALT1. Ready to go. Hameltion (talk, contribs) 21:59, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
