Nice video Joe as always. Entertaining and informative buddy👌

Great review as always Joe!

Another great video Joe. Well done.

LOVE the pov shots. ;)

CCFC. Love the content joe, keep it up

Joe i have to say your latest videos have been outstanding.. I usually watch on the tv and hence don't / can't comment but ive logged onto the laptop to write this.. Keep up the great work.

Nice review- fully agree on the normal vs sportback choice.

Hey Joe, great review! 👍 Regarding the "boredom" of charging - the main issue is that you only drive EVs for a short time. There needs to be a paradigm change. You don't go somewhere to "fill up" the battery. This is something you do with the ICE vehicle, because you ONLY can fill up at a gas station - and while you're at it anyways, why not fill up to full? With an EV, you just use the time and integrate the charging into your life. Go shopping - let it charge. Go for sports - let it charge. Go for a walk in the park - let it charge. You don't need to babysit the car all the time it's charging. You can do your own stuff during that time, and this limits the time for charging to just plugging in, which is only a few seconds. In my job, I need to travel a lot. A huge discovery to me was that if I drive through at a very high speed and come home earlier, I still have my emails and conference calls to do. But if I arrange it properly, I can do some emails and conf calls while charging - and when I arrive home, maybe one hour later than usual, but all my "closing the day" duties have already been done. So, effectively - no time loss at all! I could imagine that you as a KZfaqr always have some video material to review and cut. If you do part of it from the nice interior of your car, with the AC working (no problem with that with an EV!) - then the same, you do your stuff while the car charges, no time loss! You need to spend a month or two with an EV I believe (looking back at my own experience), then you will learn to appreciate the good sides and how to get around the bad sides with no real disadvantage. And hey - you said charging at home without special equipment is dreadfully slow... But still, you're getting like 10 miles per hour from a standard socket? 100 miles worth of range overnight? Can your ICE car fill up 15 litres overnight, without you doing anything? 😜 We just became used to how the "ICE life" works. "I'm going to the gas station and will pick up this and that on my way" - sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing. You don't think about how "the car dictates your life" 😜 Just go buy one or lease for a long-term. You will love it! Trust me, I have both an M4 and a Model 3. And I actually prefer Tesla for the long trips, M4 is just a fun car by now...

Joe yet another in depth video and an honest test of a quite expensive car. I expect like others who have not experienced an electric vehicle will appreciate the facts which you brought up mostly about the interior and practical uses or not easy to use. I agree about the door mirrors as all motorists are not equal and you need to be more aware now and you need as much of a view outside the car. Lovely car but I don`t like the fastback as the rear view is narrow. See you on the next one.

Rain--dang you guys hog it all when we NEED it in California. :D

Great informative video joe, not my cup of tea but technology is very clever.

Another great video despite the rainy weather. I very much liked the forehead camera. It perfectly suits a multiple screen car such as this e-tron. However, please, do not use it to show details on the screens. It is too far/too small; the GoPro needs to be closer. Somehow, I am glad you did not enjoy the car. This channel remains a beacon for petrolheads, that is to say, engines using petrol, preferably straight 6, flat 6 or V8 😁

It's a nice SUV mate 👍🏻 not my bag but I'm pretty sure it will appeal to some 😀 thx for showing us another car mate as I can probably speak for most in its your video's we watch more then some of the cars on show 😎

Very gorgeous looking car! Shame it’s more expensive than an equivalent Q8! But if you wanna be the guy with the EV, this is a very very good one to have

Totally agree on the touch screens - they are not safe and just smack of designers who never actually use the cars they design.

Interesting video - you should name and shame the charger that was out of order - give them an incentive to improve the reliability which as you say is the key to uptake - Instavolt, BP Chargemaster and Shell all doing well in my experience and of course Tesla just off the scale and a big reason why their sales are so strong. Looking forward to the Audi e-tron GT when it arrives ......

Great vid, Those screens are too low down, same as other modern audis.. The bottom screen should be where the upper screen is, and upper screen should be higher up in the dash. Really annoys me every time I see this setup in Audis. The camera wing mirrors look like they might be snapped off easily by vandals.. Lack of interior noise seems amazing. I love ultra quiet cars.

The best car I've ever driven. So I bought one. No regrets.

Couldn't agree with you more Joe about the charging infrastructure. I live in a town of 56000 population and we have two public chargers, neither of which is working yet. I would love to own an EV but until the infrastructure is improved massively there's no chance.

Love your videos. I would like to know what you think of the Model 3 Perf. I own one and really love it. Even coming out my former GT4. Next video ? 😇

Joe, are you videos made for the UK viewers in the first place?

Can do review seat tarraco

I wonder if they'll do an Ev R8 🤔

Audi should have called it the vorspark edition.

Great video nice attempt but £90,000 is hysterical ! Model Y for $51,000 is faster way more utility interior space ,and has more range. Model Y Performance will annihilate this in handling and light to light pulls. BUT if you don’t car and want a nice interior , grill rep and like cruising faster than most other SUV’s ... enjoy!

Nice car and I think 80% of the problems your experiencing is tech based. Trouble is in another 5 years everything will be tech based...by then you'll of had to be converted like it or not!

You forgot to point out that the Audi roof didn’t leak in rainy weather. With a Tesla, there’s a good chance you may have leaks in the either the roof or trunk.

I wonder how much it would be to replace those digital side mirrors when some idiot has hit them?

Based on the MMI reliability on my A5, I don’t trust the digital wing mirrors.

Why in a review of an EV we need to see if Audi stated 0-60 is accurate (can't be way off for the average driver), and cannot see if the stated range is accurate? Also I don't care how much is 0-60 if in the same video I cannot learn the battery and the boot capacity...

I assume you will have to design a new style of Tee to meet demand from the EV fan boys!!!!

staggeringly expensive car for a paltry 200mi range which might be less in the real world.

No, I can't see why they've turned it into a sportback and I don't think I ever will. I kind of can admire the regular version, although it seems unnecessarily big as well, but not this, never.

A camera for a door mirror seems to be solving a problem that doesn't exists.🤯

its kinda sad how an established automaker does certain, important things wrong. Its like 90k and i can't get physical buttons for it? This obsession with screen only is madness

Honestly, anything is better than a Tesla model X. Have driven one and it's a joke.

Well I’d disagree. I doubt it. wouldn’t turn heads like a Model X

A lot of money for a virtue signalling toy and top model is touching Taycan money. That seems a no brainer Taycan all day

Hard to imagine etron being the best selling suv in Europe here in Australia....we are seriously undeveloped

Having driven our i-Pace the length of the country recently and having had to queue waiting for a rapid charger to become free, if there is an increasing growth in electric vehicles, there MUST be an increase in the number of chargers. Fast chargers are anything but - they take 9 hours to charge the battery from flat which is totally useless for people travelling any distance: it charges at roughly 20 miles an hour. However rapid chargers work pretty well with a charge rate of about 130 miles in 45 minutes. The only chargers that should be fitted from now on are the rapid ones and someone in power needs to force the installation of many many more. Being stuck in a motorway service station for 2 or 3 hours waiting for a rapid charger to come free before getting the restricted 45 minute charge is not acceptable when that charge will only take you 2 hours down the road to do the same again. However to add a positive note, the i-Pace is fantastic for every day use, charging from home. It is pretty well built, has an exceptional ride quality, defies the laws of physics in the way it corners and leaves almost everything for dead in acceleration. There is a lot to smile about.

not practical electric cars over price to match trouble for travel outside city think still need wait 5yers for improvements

SOooo...is it better than the X?? ;-)

LOL, my wife totally trusts and loves reversing cameras, and hasn't hit anything, but I'm old school and look over my shoulder, which really bothers her ("Why do you do this? What is wrong with your brain? It's unnecessary!). Sorry!

So much money for an EV that can maybe go 200 miles on a single charge? The model X has a range of 350 miles for the same price.

Payed by Audi?

Priced like a Q8 Vorsprung, with the trim level of a Q3 and a third of the range...ummm, no thanks!

I'm sure it's lovely but too much tech.

Nah it isn't ;) sorry 🤫😂

Ugly car
