You know Kyle and Co., you don't know the impact of your channel on the world. As a disabled, wheelchair bound man who rarely has a way to leave my house, as someone who doesn't have much prospect of a relationship, it's a soul level relief to watch your trip videos and vicariously travel and imagine a different multiverse where I'm not hopelessly stuck in my loneliness. Each and every trip video you post is like a shot of emotional morphine for a hurting soul. Keep these up. Every one of them is appreciated. Love you and Alyssa.

My e-Tron is just over 3 years old. Its been an amazing electric vehicle. They are maintenance-free. I've owned many cars and this Audi e-Tron (with it's air suspension) is the most comfortable riding vehicle I've owned. IMO, the fit and finish far exceed the other electric vehicles. It is a solid vehicle. The only downside for me is the 200-mile range. I wished it were more.

You can add shortcuts to most settings by long pressing the button, like the Charging menu, to display SOC %. (Unfortunately, this doesn’t work on MY21 and later, but it should work on yours!) Another tip is to turn off the car with the Start/Stop button _before_ you open the door. It will then bring up the Climate and Charging menu, and let you start the cooling/heating with one press. It will run for 30 minutes down to 20% SOC. A bit conservative, but when DC fast charging, it will now run for 60 minutes. Regardless of SOC. *IMPORTANT!* You must turn off the car to be able to start charging. Can this explain the trouble you experienced?

Yea! Road trip! I am waiting for the delivery of my i4 next month. I have never road tripped out of California and probably will never do that. However, I LOVE watching your road trips. Made me confident to move from my hybrid to an EV. Love that you guys love dogs. Fortunately, I have a Pom and don't need an SUV like the e-Tron. I found out about Maryanne's youtube Tesla Ruby from watching Out of Spec Motoring. Maryanne's day-to-day use of her Tesla also helped me understand how to live with an EV.

Great video - enjoyed watching the content and seeing places that I am familiar with all up and down the I-95 corridor and along I-40. Nice that you included a glimpse of the Marlboro sign just outside of Richmond. It was interesting to see the functionality of the Audi and how different manufacturers handle different situations like running the AC while charging. I was tempted to stay at the Aloft earlier this month when I visited Raleigh, but ended up at a new Courtyard on Gorman street. Great hotel with 4 EV charging stations. Lastly, Go Pack!!!

What do you have your Custom drive mode set to? E-tron uses different maps for ride height adjustment depending on the drive mode. Efficiency mode drops ride height to the lowest level at 50 mph and keep it there as long as you stay above 22 mph, Dynamic doesn't drop the car to the lowest level until 88 mph and will raise it back up below 68 mph. Just need to shift to D or S once in Efficiency mode or it locks out power beyond 80% behind the kickdown switch. But Efficiency mode is too soft for US roads and you will hit bump stops on big highway dips. So Dynamic gets you the best overall efficiency without being too stiff. Auto will eventually drop the ride height down to the baseline Dynamic level but not until 75 mph and will raise it back up below 44 mph.

Great video! I've enjoyed my 2021 e-tron Premium Plus now for a little over a year. You keep noting around 200 miles of range on a full charge. When the 2021 models came out, Audi had done a software update that gave the e-tron about 220 miles and, just this year, another software update by Audi gave me around 240. As far as I know, there've been no actual changes to the size of the battery pack since 2019, just the software updates allowing more of the battery pack to be used. I was just wondering if your e-tron has had those updates? Seems they would've automatically done them at the dealership you bought it at, if possible in the 2019. Just something to check into since you could get a decent increase in range.

I really enjoy these videos and I know when I venture out in my Bolt, which I know will be a little ponderous, I’ll know what I’m doing. We drive from Atlanta to NY regularly but we never take the I95 corridor. I agree that it sucks. We take 81 and 78 but that would be much longer if you were going to NC. I haven’t done it yet but I see a lot of chargers along 81 and this will improve dramatically when Tesla fully opens up their network.

There are stories of fires from cheap amazon and eBay EVSEs that will on the sticker say 40AMP but the chips are misconfigured and the EVSE pulls 50 or 60 and that's why they are hot. You can literally melt your charging port. Please buy her a good EVSE before it breaks. I am a fellow ID.4 owner Pro S. I bought my ID.4 based on some of your videos huge fan. Hope to run into you in the PHX area when you are charging some day.

After your video where you picked up the E Tron I went and bought one as well. It's an amazing car and it's sort of a bargain in this crazy car market. I love 90% of the car. I hate the stop/start button and the fact that I have to re-set the "one pedal" drive every time I get in or disengage cruise control - and the one pedal isn't aggressive enough. About your charging bug: my car won't charge on AC chargers at all. It's going in for repairs this week. Turns out there are several TSBs about the charging ports so you may want to drop by the dealership and have them take a look.
