If I were your boss, I would understand

Maxime Mineault thanks!!👌🏼

davide gritti : Hmmmm.

If your boss reads this, you will have all the time in the world to watch Bjorn's videos

The consumption is due to the high weight of the car. Hopefully, Audi can fix this with their upcoming "E" models.

Depends on which kind of car you mean, Land Rovers are quite heavy, several american SUV are definately as much as heavy, several sedans get close enough...although i agree, that's a lot of weight.

Tesla fills like a very light car due to massive acceleration power and low CG.

load it with 4 men and luggage and you're over 3 tons. poor suspension and tyres.

@@TheDimking I loaded it and it is fine so far.

typical transportation weight: under 80kg

What do you mean?

Bjørn Nyland, @3:11 you were on the right track, “temperature is cold which increases...” then you got side tracked, and said lowers density. That’s called a brain fart. It happens to the best of us.

High and low preassure weather systems (not sure what those are called in English) have a much bigger influence on air density than temperature. You can have a bitter cold sunny winter day (like -20C°) and an atmospheric preassure of above 1000mbar or a storm front in summer at >30°C and air preassure dropping below 800 mbar. Yes, warm air at constant preassure is less dense than cold air, but air preassure changes are the bigger influence on air density. That's by the way why turbo charged engines have noticably better performace in cold sunny winter weather. The air is denser because of the high atmospheric preassure AND is denser because the air is also cold. This results in the turbo charger being able to get more oxygen into the engine easier.

Michael Schulze, the atmospheric pressure rarely increases energy to increase density more significantly than the temperature and humidity. In freezing temperatures. Humidity is zero, and since water is lighter than air, dry air is more dense. Since the wind didn’t appear to be that fast, we can assume the atmospheric pressure is normal. So the altitude is going to be the bigger factor. Sea level (or below) will have higher pressure and density than higher elevations. I don’t think we will get Bjorne to add atmospheric pressure in his tests cycle. Lol

@@imho7250 I am not sure about your humidity comment. I do like cold air is more dense and higher drag

BMW drivers need to watch his blinker tutorial.

How do you figure it is much better than iPace? iPace @ 90km/h, 350 km / Tesla X 90D aprox. 350 km @ 90km/h, so they are all in the same ball park. It looks like that is where the tech is at for the moment.

@@TayebMC The iPace has around 350Km@90km/h at 10 degrees with road in good condition , the Audi while never set any guinnes record, has got a bigger and heavier body, had a 15 C degrees handicap and the road had slush around.

@@MrPikkoz: It was actually 378Km@90km/h at 10 degrees with road in good condition. So about the same

John W no they won’t. The European car brands still don’t have a viable fast charging network; Tesla will always outsell the European brands until they build a fast charging network

@@ct1904 Why should they have there own network? And you should know that they are in a group called Ionity. There are so many CCS fast chargers in Europe. And only occasional you drive more than 300+ km. Western Europe is not that big.

Not sure it is not what my car calls "impulse turning signal". Most brands have been having something similar for years. At least Renault, Dacia, Ford, Mercedes.

Oh the irony, Bjørn was a bimmer driver... Ahem not really known for their blinker usage either 🙄

The most used feature in my 5 year old base a6, so it's been there for a while

@@amitghaste Yes, totally agree, it is very useful and old stuff for those who use cars for driving :)

@@seb. Ah yes: the bimmers and their drivers. 👎

Tesla Model X is also a heavy car at 2500 kg.

Yeah and for this test I'm sure that consumption was over 310Wh/100Km!

It was pretty much the same with the test from Dubai Auto Motor Sport did so yeah not that great.

Just checked the X90 test and the figures are about the same, slightly better range for the X (350 vs 330). They're both heavy & tall cars. Although the X is by now a 3 year old model and the Audi is a new one so...i would've expected a better performance by that Audi. Maybe the X and S restyling will bring 2170 battery cells and a lighter battery pack? I'm not sure theres much they can do to enhance efficiency other than using a better performing motor and theyre near the limit with the current one...only a much lighter and compact battery might help. The only way they could lower the X would be by having the battery somewhere else other than the bottom of the car, but they seem to prefer that kind of place

I bet weather conditions have a lot to say. My Hyundai Kona is averaging some 19kW in winter (mild winter here in Catalonia) while I'd say it averaged 16kw in autumn.

Eduard Pertíñez Maybe the graphics were produce with a hybrid/plug-in in mind. Though I agree, poor attention to detail.

It's a audi driver they don't even know where the screen wash is lol

The graphics style is classic VAG and looks the same on the e-Golf and A3 e-tron. Made sense for those, not really here.

in a few hours

@@bjornnyland Cool, I am happy to see it.

@@bjornnyland shiiiieeeet ill be at work by then! :( oh well.

I'm expecting 37kWh / 100km

Americans will happily buy it. ;-)

Turn signals are awesome. I even use them in parking lots. Unlike BMW owners, who never use them in any circumstance. I think the only signal Cadillac drivers master is brake lights.

+Ladislav Tánczos They keep the same temperature, yes. Like all other EVs.

What's stopping you to by it if it's that good?

That's true for most batteries, most makers do that. Some Tesla battery packs were limited to a wider margin and back in time they even sold several 75kwh packs as 60kwh ones, later offering 75kwh upgrades. Comes down to economies of scale.

+News Coulomb It does. Soft tap = 3 blinks Hard tap = blinks until you cancel.

@@TheSteinbitt in the nonexistent frunk?

When you make a chassis of recycled , cheap metal, you need more of it. I got my S extra soundproofed, it's very quiet, less than 50kg of material fixed it. So don't confuse weight with soundproofing, comfort or forget rust.

@@Daddelcrusher it is made of cheap recycled steel, I take aluminium any time over such "premium"

@@Daddelcrusher Nonsense! There are no thicker panels on Audis than on other cars. They're still only VW's, don't forget! "Premium"-cars are a completely different thing.

@@andre-7423 Aluminium is the most recycled metal on the planet. I don't quite understand what you're getting at. Sure steel is cheaper, but it also has different structural qualities so it's not better or worse, just different. Also when it comes to build quality Tesla can't even close to budget Audi's so you really can't call Audi a cheap brand...

Were not complaining though, right?

No, speedometer is incorrect but the distance is correct.

+Mitja Helbl Of course. I invented comfort blinking.

I expected worst tho

3XICS X is a lot larger?

jrherita only 13cm, 4,9m for e tron and 5,0m for model X. So no big difference there. The Kona is only 4,2m long. And when comparing Kona and e-tron , the Kona has a height of 1,57m and width of 1,8m. The e tron on the other hand is 1,62m high and 1,94m wide so a bigger front surface so certainly a lot more drag if both have the same coefficient of drag. The e-tron weighs 2490kg and the Kona EV 1685kg, also a reason for higher consumption of the Audi.

@@3XICS yes it happens in a way with everything. People sometimes are no open to change unless you offer something else than your rival that has been doing the same thing for years, but now with all the know how you don't have. However even if the results are "good" they are not great. I think the first proper german electric car is going to be the ID or the taycan, whoever cames first.

@@3XICS Model X does 0-60 in 2.9 and is using induction motors. The Audi system is just bad. They are at least 5 years behind Tesla.

-31 in northern Sweden. Would want to see the range here.

jerry kurata I think this is an insider joke. Before the embargo was lifted, Bjorn was not even allowed to confirm or deny that the e-tron had blinkers... ;)
