looking at carsized.com for dimensions, gives ev9 a cda of approximately .79 when compared to the eqb that has similar shape and same cd. tesla y has a cda of approximately .59, so the ev9 has a approx 30% disadvantage just for aerodynamics. rolling resistance increase linearly with weight, so there the disadvantage vs y is also 30%. 100/75 is 1.33 so this adds up.

seems to me you drive a lot of short trips on a normal day? then this is absolutely normal. the mercedes thermal system heats the battery every trip to get good performance, this alone easily eats 2kwh or more. in summer, if you drive 10km, thats roughly 2kwh, so you see the overall consumption double if you only do trips like that and let the battery cool down inbetween. long trips, different story: my eqb fully loaded in winter temps around 0 centigrade has a consumption around 2-2.1 kwh per 10km on trips >500km, total expected range just above 300km. this is with studded tyres and 70-80km/h speed, up and down over norwegian mountain passes.

probably fine, my series 7 has 84% health, but it keeps the charge as long as when it was new jan 2002, when I wake up charge is 25-30%, I charge for ca 25 minutes up to about 80%, repeat.

“almost no range hit” thats wildly misleading, the etron has very similar loss of range as other ev’s in cold weather as many tests show, e.g. https://www-motor-no.translate.goog/audi-elbil-lading/bor-du-velge-stor-eller-liten-audi-e-tron/119970?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp if you correct for battery size, heat pump teslas and the korean cars are very efficient in the cold.

do you want china or europe to prosper? every car or item bought from china contributes to a dictatorship and is at the same time a threat to workers in the european car industry, which is of huge importance to the european economy. thats what you should think about.

design wise, toyota nailed it. if only they made a pure ev looking like that… a hybrid drivetrain is a thing of the past
