What is with the fad of taking a perfectly normal looking SUV and morphing it into a giant Toyota Prius looking wedge? I-d much rather have the non-coupe version of every SUV sold. I-ve yet to see a single coupe suv that was even reasonably attractive.
If only Audi had fitted a bigger battery pack with 100kWh of usable capacity it would be a lot better, offering around 250 miles of highway cruising range. It-s also a bit disappointing considering the size of the vehicle and battery pack that the thing weighs nearly 3 tons.
Audi could-ve made the e-tron a lot more efficient if it had been built on a clean sheet EV platform. I just don-t see the interest in a $100, 000 car that can only go as far as a base model Nissan Leaf. 180 miles of usable range is NOT acceptable in this class. Tesla-s range figures are usually a bit optimistic, but there-s no question the Model X is substantially more efficient and lighter even though it-s a 7-seater and has the extremely heavy falcon wing doors and a battery pack that-s at least 10% larger.

A sudden drop of up to 50% is expected and this is causing many people to sell their assets now (BTC and ETH) in order to buy them back at lower prices. BTC and ETH RSIs are overbought at 89% each, so this theory is actually logical, but as Kouroush AK said, RSI is not a good indicator for measuring -parabolic uptrends-. Instead, it works pretty well in determining movements in different markets. I've focused on accumulating more BTC through trading and with signals from Mr Wilson Dave -I was able to trade less than 2 BTC and grow my portfolio to over 7 Btc in just a few weeks. Tel-gram (- traderfx_dave ) offers some of the best insight I've had in crypto trading

I think it's utterly criminal all these EV's get advertised with 15-20% more range than anyone will actually see out of a full charge - especially when we're talking sub 200 miles. If it was the difference between 450 claimed and 400 actual, I wouldn't mind, but 30-40 miles discrepancy in the winter is the difference between getting back home and being stuck on the side of the road if a charging point is out of use (or at least, being home an hour later than intended if someone else is doing their 20-30 minute charge.
This tech, and the infrastructure that will enable it, is so far away from being mainstream viable by 2030.

why the hell auto industry just jump on band wagon of replacing physical controls with full touch screen which you have to look at to use. just because tesla did it to save money? please have at least the essential controls as physical controls back. entertainment those kind of things can be touch screen.

I like the red I had an Audi 80 turbo in that colour. That must be the highest bodywork and interior quality electric vehicle on the market. To me that looks nicer than the Model X but it could be the red that makes me like the look. I would imagine the Tesla is better as they normally are.

the Ioniq 5 which is at least a full category below the etron sportback in terms of size and price has a towing limit of 1. 6 tons - only 200kg less. It offers about the same charging speed and due to it being lighter drives further on one charge and that with a smaller battery.

You forgot to mention the virtual mirrors that replace the standard mirrors in favor of screens on the inside (also reduces drag and increases range slightly. Really changes the look, when I first worked on those it was a bit strange but now its just funny.

I see Audi doesn't bother themselves to actually change the model name, so they could sell this model in France) I would not buy a car, which rear windows don't go all the way down anyway. If buying a car, it would be Tesla for me.

2. 1 miles per kWh is hopeless. Shame because this & the regular e-tron charge really well, so they'd be great for road trips but you have to get >200 miles between stints, surely with such a big battery. Real electron guzzler!

Am I the only person freaking out about how much Matt leans on and sits on the car wearing DENIMS? As if he's hell bent on leaving scratches in the paint! I like the reviews, but I would NEVER lend him my car.
