I think this is one hell gorgeous of a car I think it looks more nicer and sleek than a Mercedes SUV coupe and the bmw x6 I think.

@@horuslupercal3872 ha I'm confused.

I really hate electric cars

Gorgeous auto but not enough interior room for nearly 200" in length. Also not enough range for such a big battery.

Of course there is. I’ve had a Model S for 3 yrs and got this edition one 2 weeks ago. Luxury; Audi wins hands down. Tech and range; Tesla wins hands down. The tech kinda sucks in the Audi, something as basic as the app is completely useless. Go to any Etron site and you’ll see most complaining about the app, charging network and the tech. I hope that it improves with time; I’m leasing so will reassess at the end of it.

Keep us updated. I’m very interested in the original E Tron...but I keep reading horror stories.

Whats your opinion of the car now after a couple of years o owner ship? Im in between this and a Kia ev6

@@L-NEGRO We love it. If you drive conservative I’ve got it to 250 mile range in warm weather. I’m thinking of trading my S7 and getting the Q8 etron. No issues with the Sportback what so ever.

@@R3Wood thanks for the reply. I have seen that the ev6 has some features like assisted driving that the e tron dosen't have. But I still love how this car looks and how much room it has. We will use it for comute locally only and charge at home so I'm ok with the range. I'm still undecided 🙈 though

@@L-NEGRO They are both really nice EV’s. I saw an ev6 today very sharp. I’ve been in Audi’s for 20 years, so it was a natural progression. Good luck with either of your choice.

Audi does Coupe SUVs better than any car manufacturer

@@everythinggoes850 no they don't , it's a matter of taste grandpa also the 2020 glc coupe from Merc is much sexier then this.

@@ofensatul "no they don't , it's a matter". You say it's a matter of taste then tell him they don't. You sir are an idiot.

@@iMixMaSteR1 off3nc3_hishead has not been burped yet...

@@nc3826 lol agreed.

AC doesn’t pull near as much as running the heater.

@@fchsbottombass10 Ev's are less efficient in the cold too

Khailil S at the moment. Yes. But that is only cause they don’t put out as much waste energy as heat that an internal combustion does. The octo system that Tesla has produced for the model y could help massively with this problem.

I agree. I'm not against e.v.'s ( I also dont think they're going to impact climate change much either) but the real world range is the big question for me. I live in an area where half the year I'd have the air conditioner on and the other half with the heater running.

Here’s an article you might want to check out www.google.com/amp/s/www.caranddriver.com/news/amp31739529/how-much-does-climate-control-affect-ev-range/

I totally agree! I came from a 2017 Audi Q7 and was hoping the e-tron was going to be better in the range department. I travel on a 400 mile round trip just about every weekend so range was key for me. Otherwise, I loved it, with the exception of the infotainment system. I liked the mix of buttons and screens with my 2017 Q7. Went too far on the touch screens for me with the e-tron and the modern Audis. Now I have a TESLA 3 and Y. Wish Audi would get the range thing figured out. 90k for 215 miles is pathetic (if that’s even close to real world) and then there’s the charging on the road thing with non-TESLAs that is the Wild West...kind of a bummer. Til then, I’ll stick with my TESLA....but this car is HOT!!! Blows away the Mercedes and BMW! I will say, having the wireless Apple CarPlay is awesome! I’m jealous! FWIW, for about $100, I was able to install massage seats in my TESLA. Was an easy install. It’s not as good as the massager in the Audi, but good. Really on the acceleration? A Ferrari Testarossa and Lamborghini Countach were doing 0-60 is just about 5 seconds in 1980s!!

thanks for your input. totally agree, would love to have audi design with the tesla range and cost.

Pete Galindez Totally agree. Very disappointed with the acceleration of the Etron 55 & 50. It's slow for an ICE and even worse considering it's an EV. Even the Etron S ( even more expensive) is not that fast for an EV for the price. This and the range have put me off despite the lovely interior and good build quality. Audi need to up their game.

Can confirm. Have Taycan...(in my dreams)

Youbones Lmao

I'll wait for the day when Audi unveils an über lux electric wagon.

Seriously. You actually haven't watched the video

saima faisal 😩😂😂 Exactly, the video is 29 minutes. His comment is 6 minutes after the release of the video.

saima faisal how do you know? Maybe he sped it up?

Agreed, the tesla model Y gets about 300 miles and costs around 50k.

@@zed804 That’s why I bought the Y to add my my TESLA 3, but I would rather have the Audi...but needs close to 300 miles range for that price. Couldn’t agree more.

@@petegalindez9961 interesting, thanks for sharing. why would you rather have the audi? the interior/exterior design?

I also went with the Y I tested the Audi and was disappointed the drive was boring and the price premium wasn’t justified. Air suspension and quieter ride and very weak performance I didn’t like the braking of the Audi compared to Tesla. I’m assuming Audi is going to pitch an S etron model with more performance but why pay more when you can get Tesla performance standard and much cheaper. Plus Audi service will find ways to hit the wallet even with an EV...

Haha. Nothing to really break on these electric cars. These things should easily go 500,000 miles.

scotty probably doesn’t have a college degree or enough funds to even consider purchasing this vehicle

that moronic meme that there is "nothing to break on EV" is laughable..... since they have most of the same parts of an ICEV with the added fun that a battery pack can be bricked ....

@@nc3826 “most of the same parts?” no sweetie please do your research’s dn find out how many parts are in one engine and then find out how many are in the whole ICE car, then compare to the total of parts in a tesla, battery pack cells don’t count because the battery cells can’t be individually replaced, when you factor that in, you have no idea what you just said.

​@@patrick1007 Nice try, but assuming that your cult drone wet dream world came true.... that all EVs had to be a tesla and you could define, what was considered an individual part.... it would just be worse... since an entire tesla bricked pack, instead a dead and dying cells, have to be replaced.... and it just makes it more expensive like all tesla repairs.... and ofc you forget there are 100s of other parts such as the suspension that wear out too....so enjoy the KoolAid.... Also thx for proving my point for me, sweetie.... So the meme that there is "Nothing to really break on these electric cars" is still BS.... FWIW I'm looking to buy a BEV and they should have need less repairs on average except maybe for tesla toys :)

And interior cargo space considering almost 200" long

agreed...I hate blacked out trim... but, this needs to be black

get the black optic package its another 3k plus but it will look better

Zed. I see you replied to my comment about wanting the Audi, but not able to reply to that thread for some reason....I already have a Model 3 Long Range AWD with the performance upgrade and LOVE IT! So, was hoping to get a different experience with another EV maker and loved my Audi experience, so thought the e-tron would be ideal. But, need the range...Even if I were to swap and use my Y for long trips and the e-tron as my local hauler/commuter, I still can’t justify the range for the price. With EVs, range is king. I don’t need 500+ miles, but for re-sale, etc, you need to be around 275 at that price level and size of battery. The capacity drops off in the very beginning (at least in my TESLAs it did) a little bit, but then just diminishes gradually from there...so, having a 275 mile range gets you a solid 250 most of the time and in the low 200s in challenging weather (very hot or very cold). With a range barely over 200, you’re looking at sub 200 in challenging weather...I’m thinking range anxiety kicks in if you’re using it as a long ranger, especially since the chargers for non-TESLAs are not ubiquitous nor seemless in use/not uniform. Electrify America is getting there, and let’s hope the newly formed EV lobbying group will get us in that direction.

@@petegalindez9961 thanks for your response. interesting things to consider.

Unfortunately becoming more common. Look at new Subaru's 😔

You can thank tesla for that trend

Shafin Rehman It is also used for entering destinations by turning into a keyboard or gestures and a few other things

Ever use it in real life? It's not even bad like at all.

Actually majority, everyone harps about performance blah blah (case in point: CVT), yet tons of people buy CUVs which CVTS and just drive them without a care in the world. End of the day, all of us drive our cars more as a regular commuter car then a hard core race car, comfort matters

A lot of people care about both.. We want it all dammit 😄

I wish my Y had air suspension ride is a bit on the firm side but no regrets and the performance always makes you smile! The etron felt boring coming from a Tesla.

Tesla real-world range is significantly lower than the EPA numbers would suggest. But still, this would be a great car if the range was closer to 250 miles.

@@pdd3 While that is perhaps true, the one thing that still remains the same, is that the Tesla will drive further than all of its competitors under the same circumstances. Unfortunately, there still haven't been a competitor that can claim the range crown yet.

Not to mention performance this thing is too slow for a luxury vehicle. I’d expect this 0-60 from a VW but not Audi you shouldn’t have to step up to an S to get Tesla level performance.

You’re joking about the last thing you said right? 🙃

@@yes8032 no

I've never seen an old VW product with an in-tact interior. Lol

the new mercedes like the c class and cla have not the best fit and finish tbh. not sure about their more expensive models though.

brjha they’re way more intact than any old American car

Nail it! 👍

Looks like your only option is a Model Y or X then, perhaps next year we might see more competition in this class.

@@Xemnas103 Yeah, agree. Just from experience we had an X 90D with 242 range at 100%, dropped to about 222 after couple years 100%. Then 90% gave us 200 usable miles without having to wait forever to top off (it gets very slow above 90%). In cold faster driving though we lost about 30% more so ended up with like 140+ miles real range. Was hard to make trips when not perfect weather and make the charging stations even. People don't realize those intricate real-life details versus the manufacturers stated 100% perfect range.

For an electric car from a luxury brand is pretty bad. Not bad if you’re talking a VW but they’ve missed the mark here from performance and range and it’s overpriced.

He mentioned that during his drive. Plus, only one side can utilize a fast charger.

Yes, and it looks gorgeous! You get this if you want an EV though.

1Post Daily this is not a sedan but coupe SUV

I feel like the Sportback version would. The regular one is more of a Model X competitor.

@@ZapFlashD yeah ik think it would too but I think it would but I think the audi looks more stylish even though Tesla's are cool the audi has more luxuriousness and more presents while a tesla is just a car. I honestly think that an audi is more fun than a tesla that's just my opinion.

@@josephpayton7175 Seeing as both cars are similarly priced, I'd rather take the one that's more luxurious and thoughtfully crafted than the one with the latest tech and most range.

@@ZapFlashD The base price of the Tesla is $20,000 less. I hardly call that comparable.

@@Matt-Ionman I'm comparing the Model X to the standard Audi E-Tron.
