I hear you, definitely a valid take.

Merc is going to sell it as trickle down tech from Formula 1. Using the E-turbo, it is rather interesting tech to be honest. Here is a video describing how system works.

I can see the marketing already and the heavy use of the "EQ" name/branding when it comes to AMG - it's the basis for their EVs. Mercedes isn't wrong to do it but I would be extremely interested to see the reliability and durability for something that is based off of F1 tech.
