Choosing an Audi Q6 e-tron: reasons and alternatives
I have recently ordered an Audi Q6 e-tron, the new mid-sized, fully electric SUV. In this video, I go over my reasons for deciding to buy my first electric car, and why I chose this one in particular. I looked at everything that's available and give some tips on how to choose your new car.
2024 is proving to be an exciting time in the EV market and I highlight what's caught my eye from many brands, so I hope this video will be interesting to anyone looking to buy a car, and in particular an electric one.

Proxxon GE20 Pantograph - Guitar Inlay Experiment

The pantograph allows you to use oversized templates, which should increase the accuracy of cutting the inlays and holes.

Sorry, I don't know - I suggest you take it to an Audi garage!
Had the exact same thoughts and now I'm waiting my Q6 to arrive in late October🎉
In Holland we could also choose a ‘launch edition’. That’s a rearwheel drive version with about 5k worth of extras. It has s-line bonuses interior and exterior as well as 20” rims. It is available in a standard version (475 wltp) or performance (578 wltp). Ordered mine (launch edition performance) with comfort plus and tech plus packages. Also sunroof, dark windows, leather seats and silent glass. Car is Daytona gray. Will be delivered in week 49. Nice xmas present. 😅
Just a short comment to improve the quality of future videos for people listening with headphones. The voiceover is not stereo, only on audible on the left side. Maybe you can improve that in the future. Keep up the great work and thanks for the very detailed video! Greetings from Germany!
Thanks for the comment, I mentioned that in the description. Unfortunately, I noticed it too late to be able to correct it in this video but it was corrected in the next video. It would have been possible to redo it but there was a lot of audio editing that I would have had to redo, and as you might imagine this was already many hours of work. I hope you found the video useful anyway!
I will pin this comment and add updates or corrections as I find out more information or when Audi releases new options. The video is only 1 day old and already I see new options in the configurator: - Carbon exterior for wing mirrors - Variable headrests for the front seats - More interior design elements Please note also that other items are available as accessories on the Audi websites, such as roof bars and boxes. I have not covered these in the video!
There are new - and very expensive - options for leather seats that have just appeared. One is black and Cognac brown, and a second is Jet Grey and Ocean Blue. Check your Audi website for prices and pictures - they both look extremely smart! This also seems to have generated more steering wheel options, most of which look exactly the same - there may be some very small cosmetic differences that are linked to the seat options, but they are not visible on the configurator.
NEW BATTERY OPTION: The rumoured option of a smaller battery has appeared, with a lower capacity of 83 kWh (75.8 usable, which seems a large difference), compared to the 100 kWh of the original. This also has a 0-100 kph time of 7.0 seconds (instead of 6.7) and a slower maximum charging speed of 225 kW instead of the 260 or 270 kW of the larger battery. The price is about €5000 lower, and the claimed range is 458-533 km instead of 552-641 km.
Thank you for this very detailed analysis.
very interesting ! Thanks a lot Jonathan !
Thats really a wonderful review thanks a lot !
7:28 what means the black button ?
I'm not sure which you mean, but there are several buttons which are fake, where I think there are other buttons if you take some different options. The two buttons on the right of the lower row of buttons don't do anything, for example.
can u add apple carplay?
I don't think so - I don't believe that it has appeared in any software updates. I haven't really noticed software updates happening on my car, except once when I took it back to Audi and they said that it needed some updates, but they did not seem to change anything in the user interface or options.
I have an Audi A4 limousine 2017. Why do I not have the Audi drive select? I cant find an answer to why my car doesn’t have it
Great content but boy is that music annoying! It’s just not necessary.
Far to many extras on a car that you have to pay for ,most of it should be fitted as standard ,
What’s the smallest font it can engrave? Could you use it drag style without the motor?
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for a humble and honest review!
buying a used a4 b9 soon. youre videos have been an immense help. thank you
Mr. Jonathan, thank you very much for your nice videos. Coold you please help me? I was planing to buy used A4 allroad produced 2017. or 2018. but I ve heard that some of them hawe problems with brakes on heavy rain. Hawe you heard something about it for a4 allroad and allsow hawe you heard about souch problems with brakes in A4 avant?
I'm glad you liked the videos - for your information, I still have the car and am still happy with it. The only problem is an error message about the Pre Sense system which Audi did not solve when I took it to them. I'm sorry, I don't know anything about the possible brake problems.
I just found out about this, Imma be sad if this guy doesn't win, that's an amazing guitar
I just wonder why you need premium class vehicle when you are not demanding. You specced your car worse than average Fabia. Please don't see this comment as hate but A4 is engineering marvel and your configuration makes it good as Fabia. I could never have climatic AC instead of full auto. Also dimming mirrors are must nowdays. Quattro is not just about driving in bad conditions. It sends a lot of power to the rear which makes handling of the car better in all situations.
Finally, someone is talking some sense in the comment section. Also in my Opinion when getting an Audi at least make sure it has Quattro.
You should really round the inside. Acoustic's and sustain react to everything. Great job BTW

Is the Audi A4 v6 engine is a chain drive
Thanks for the video. I got one of these and I’m having trouble with accuracy in copying the pattern. The pattern is perfectly symmetrical, but the resulting piece is about 3-4% smaller on one side than the other. Have you experienced anything like that?
I haven't noticed that. Are you using the pantograph at an angle? I'd try to make sure that the template and the piece that you are cutting are all directly in front of the swivel point. Other than that, I don't know - I haven't used it much more since I made the video.
@@jonathanoakey4745 Thanks. My best guess is that the pattern tracer stylus isn’t exactly perpendicular the table. I’ve spent two days checking everything I can think to check and talked to a friend yesterday who has a Deckel pantograph and is expert on every tool imaginable. He suggested some more things to check, but nothing helps. It’s so maddening! When I engraved my name right after taking it out of the box, it seemed to work fine, and I don’t know what’s different now.
Very nice video review. Thanks
Hi mate, just want to say great video. Iv just bought an a4 and this was very helpful. Great work
Thanks, I hope you like it! Mine is now 6 years and a day old, and I still plan to keep it for a few more.
This machine cut and engrave silver and gold ?
I don't use it for that but I would imagine so.
Can the ambient lighting be added afterward ?
I doubt it but I haven't asked.

Hello Jonathan First off all I am glad that I have found your YT channel.And I like it a lot. Recently I bought a used 2017 A4 variant and I find it strange that LTE signal bars are shown on the screen without any sim card in the slot. When a saw that, I have checked it if the previous owner forgot his card inside. I find it not logic how could it show signal without a sim card. Funny thing that my car was actually imported from Belgium to Slovenia. Do you have any answers for me maybe. Greetings
Thanks for your comment. If your phone is connected to the car, perhaps what's displayed is your phone's signal? If I remember correctly, when your phone is connected it goes through the car's connection, which is stronger than the phone's.
@@jonathanoakey4745 Thank you for jour answer. It is displayed if i am connected via BT or not. I was wondering if the car itself has somekind of an inbuilt phone Connection but it doesn't make sence. Like who would have let you connect to like any network without paying. I don't want to be like paranoid or something but honestly I do have a little concern if maybe that is how they steal cars. As it is a used car and I know how my cousin could find his Mercedes CLA over so called find my car in his App even later when he sold it. Can you tell me how many keyes did you get with your new car? I haven't got time yet to visit an official dealership to get this clear but I will defininety. I will keep you posted of what they say👍
@@dlite25 There is an emergency connection service so perhaps that's it, but perhaps you can find the manual online and look in there. I got two keys with my car. Good luck!
Very nice Video.

The best car review I’ve ever seen in a while, no BS around, no annoying advertisements stuff, no time wasting, love the soft music in the background with your voice, very simple laid out and everything else. Thank you very much!!!
Do you need to activate something for the sensitive touch wheel. Tomorrow I'm getting one the same but when i tried writing letters on it doesn't work
It works whenever you need to enter something like an address in the navigation screen, or for example to move the map screen. The whole thing acts like a joystick too. If you have any doubts, get the current owner to show you that it works!
@@jonathanoakey4745 i was just asking because i tought it may be an option. Thanks for your time anyway. I'll keep following you for further infos
@@GeaguM that's a good point, I'd forgotten. Yes, it was an option, I think it was part of the multimedia interface upgrade. I remember trying a test car without it and thinking that it was really awkward - you had to scroll through the letters on the screen instead.
@@jonathanoakey4745 yeah you have to scroll. I just got the car and it doesn't have the option. Not a big deal but it was nice to have one. At least i enjoy the touch on the number pad and on the reading lights.
So it doesnt have heated seats?
It was an option that I didn't take because I don't live in a particularly cold location.
Hi, nice review! I was wondering, how does this car handle bad roads, potholes and other such things?
This is probably the best review I have come across. Thank you
Good review. I'm looking to swap my 220,000 mile 1.6 A3 diesel for something larger, perhaps the A6 advant with auto trans. My car has been almost trouble free and inexpensive to run over the past 9 years I've owned it and still drives perfect, so I imagine you'll have many years of trouble free motoring ahead. Glad you mentioned ankle fatigue, as I suffer from this. The pull out insert on the seat looks like it should help.
Thanks for the comment, my car is now 5 years old and I'm still just as happy with it. Of course, I don't do a lot of miles - it has 56,000 km / 35,000 miles, which is pretty low. Nothing really to add to what I've said before, I haven't had any unexpected maintenance. It's due an inspection (probably a minor service / oil change), and I will probably need new tyres soon, but that's all very normal. I hope to get another 5 good years out of it!
@@jonathanoakey4745 👍
Sorry but the music is so annoying
This bloke for real?

I left a like for the work you put into this very helpful video
Why don't you run the side pieces thru and planer so they are not as thick as the middle.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean but if I understand right, it's because the raised middle section was not the same as the through neck, it was cut out of a part of each of halves of the maple top. Incidentally, the build is progressing but I haven't made more videos - you can see pictures on Instagram, though. It's currently blocked because I ordered inlays but the supplier messed up the order, and they weren't around over Christmas.
does it have carplay?
Mine doesn't no.
Great videos. Very informative! Thanks!
Awesome work! Very creative guitar!
Keep going!!! love it
