![Should You Buy a 2021 Audi E-Tron Sportback EV Over a Tesla? [Full Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/c4DoZrVZvoI/mqdefault.jpg)
e-gmp platform is still ahead and for less than 50-60k.. for almost same range, for EV6/Ioniq/Gv60 etc. max charge is 240kwh off a 350kwh charger.. I usually average from 14-20 mins on 10-80% SoC.
I guess you buy Audi for luxury/brand name/better Nav UI and few other things.
There are a lot of new EVs out there that look nicer and are of a higher quality than Tesla. However, Tesla has one thing all the others don’t. A well built charging infrastructure that gives Tesla owners peace of mind on road trips.
Don’t forget one aspect of being high quality is the software - increasingly becoming one of the most important aspects.
True. Electrify America only works 60% of the time. Tesla Chargers 98% to 99% and trhey have thousands in the US, and is the largest charging red on the work. Tesla adds a new charging station ecery 13 hours.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, not every EV is a "Tesla rival". This Q8 is way more luxurious and "premium" than any Tesla. (even though the Model X costs way more)
Having owned a 2019 Audi Etron prestige... I must say it was an easy decision to buy the Etron over the Tesla Model Y. (I've sinced sold the Etron because range was rough)
It won't sell well.
As an owner of many Japanese and German cars. You will get aesthetic fatigue instantly with how it looks inside out, such as luxurious leather and acent lightning. However, you will never get tired of how Tesla brings to you the intuitively, technology, functions, and intelligences of what it does to help you with driver fatigue on your commute to work daily. I'm currently owner of 3 tesla for almost 3 years. It's refreshing to drive it every single time. Simplicity never gets old. Like many tesla owners had said "Legacy cars are Nokia, tesla are the apple"😂
Have you looked at the price at the dealer? Very close to Model X price.
This would be a much more convincing buy now. The outgoing model range was too low for today's standard
It's a shame that Tesla quality is below par for the price. Might as well buy a Chevy Bolt for less money and maintain the same quality. It is nice that Audi, BMW, Mercedes have EV options now. The quality they bring to the table with EV reliability should increase their value to the consumer base. IF I had to get an EV to spend time in running errands, I would consider Mercedes. This is very blah in style. IMO.
I know many Tesla owners none of whom have complained about quality, as an Audi/Porsche owner I have a large list of quality complaints and their commissioned service department loves to find problems…
Wow, nice intro review. I just hope that unlike the initial e-tron review on this channel that TFL comes back and actually completes the review next week with driving impressions. Love seeing the e-tron content.
For the price I feel the range is too low. Ideally cars are EPA rated at least 350-400 miles. The reason is EVs never go as far as they say, most people won't be able to charge it every night, batteries slowly lose a little capacity over time, and the range is affected by the weather a good amount. I don't even feel Teslas go far enough with range but the robust charging network helps to compensate and make it doable with very little stress when going on road trips.
THANKS ALEX 👏👏👏... LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DRIVE REVIEW.......HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEDNESDAY EVERYBODY ✌️
Interesting they didn't update the software much, but good to see the better range. Nothing else really needed to be updated, fantastic look, fantastic interior.
Everybody's bumping up their battery size for more range. An expensive way of extending range. Puts the company at a cost disadvantage. Tesla is working on efficiency and smaller battery packs and an excellent charging infrastructure so that they can lower prices and make their cars more affordable. ... Great car, no doubt. Audi always makes fantastic cars.
Plus, given most people need less than 100 miles range each day, you are dragging around a lot of extra weight in these huge batteries
@@bartwaggoner2000 Exactly!
Audi needs to work on its software as well. MMI is getting very antiquated and the same basic UI for ICE and EV.
Love the video Alex! Nailed it.
Just leased this same car Jul 2023. EA included charging is now only 250 kWh free. Also optional AC Charging package $1850, requires spare 100 A circuit and only single phase (USA) 240 v wall box I could find is $2500. So ~ $5k total with installation to reduce over night home charging from 13 hrs to 6.5 hr.
This thing is massive. The trunk lid looks almost at Alex's chin. All this work to make a crossover look like a bloated sedan....
Just make a sedan and get those better aerodynamics. Stop letting customers pretend to have a classy form factor when what they really want are lifted bricks that handle like lifted bricks
Great episode
Once you can get enough miles on an EV to go from Las Vegas NV to Phoenix AZ & Las Vegas NV to Bakersfield CA on one charge. Include traffic and a stop for food.
You can collapse the cup holders by pushing them down and you get space for the largest water bottle you can imagine.
In US any other EV other than Tesla is impractical due to lack of adequate CCS charging infrastructure.
Those are the "regular, good looking wheels"? The wheel covers must really be ghastly, if those are "good looking" in comparison.
Imo gotta bring that charging network to really compete with tesla.
Never happen in our lifetimes. The Govt may build one,, but it won't work. Non Tesla if a buyer doesn't plan to use it to travel.
When will Audi move to one pedal driving I’m not a fan of using the paddles to control braking.
to me, it looks like an upscale jetta
I need 300 miles below freezing thru the mountains. Yet to see a production EV that has a prayer. There is no intermediate charging infrastructure. A few times that trip has taken over 10 hours with snow and wind and slow speeds. If not for needing cabin heat the EV might have a chance.
and why is it better than a regular Q7 or Q8?
oh forget it , I can't afford that .
I gonna get the Audi e-Tron Q8 vety very soon❤
Audi needs to go for range seems like that's a after thought
And software their UI is very dated…
Love TFL and all your videos but I am burned out on catch phrases having to do with blah blah blah takes it to Tesla,,,,Tesla is in trouble now etc etc. and I am not just talking about TFL… seems a lot of channels are doing the same tag lines…no manufacture can compete with Tesla until they build their own integrated charging infrastructure and qualifies for the 7500 tax credit and gives you AWD drive that gets 300+ miles of range , auto pilot, 0-60 under four seconds, exceptional battery management system, great MPGe , 250KW fast charging, all for under 60k. No dealer mark ups or dealer BS…..You can’t touch the value of a Tesla if you want an EV.
Nice car
C'mon Audi, people don't need free charging to buy this car. All it does is clog up the Electrify America charging stations with people who could be charging at home.
First 250 kWh are free. Three charging sessions.
Wow, no 800V charging? Seems incremental at best
They are 800V
I'll stick with the RSQ8 twin turbo V8
For that price I would expect a third row
Where would you put it?
@@MIA7Xthies that’s a question for the engineers.
@@MIA7Xthies I would put it behind the 2nd row.
300 miles for $77k isn't bad. It's not my speed, but I could see recommending it
top trim is 95K
@@laloajuria4678 still not great (it is an Audi), but it's not unreasonably bad.
Disappointing for the price, price as tested 92k! Looks like Audi still has worst in class efficiency too. Only 285 range with that massive battery pack along with slow charging for that much money 😅
Agreed I’d take a model X over this
170kw charging is still trash, less than half the speed of the good EVs available. Why weren't you guys honest about that?
If you knew anything about electric vehicles. You would know that 170 isn’t great but the charging curve makes all the difference in the world. Receiving 170 all the way to 80% no competitor does that.
I refuse to buy Audi until they stop drapping the interior with that stupid piano black...when they do will come up with other reasons. Overpriced, don't hold value.
Meep
170kw..LOL welcome to 2013 audi
Amazing suv I would definitely buy one in black
Always has to have a bit of black ?
It won't sell well.. I don't know what is happening to Audi but people are dumping the brand in droves.
Tesla has resale/trade in value, Kraut cars never do.
Just look at sales number. It has the same ugly front as previous BMW's. Front look against aerodynamics? Electrify America? Only 60% work at any time.
What a poor review. Did a toddler do the camera work? I had to get the Dramamine out halfway through.
Their motor technology still sucks. Too much rolling losses. Massive range loss on huge capacity. A6 etron should fix this. Just don't buy EV now. They are developing too fast. Everything will lose value as fast as a Tesla now.
Comment below he says: Your hair bud oy! 😂 But I like you too much to tease too much.
The vehicle? I mean it's another blah ish Audi. Tbf Much rather have this than ANY schmesla. 🇩🇪at least know how NOT to have Gaping panels. I still prefer the wagon version too. This whole EVERYONE doing a sportback. It's like All men having the same BASIC*** Beard. It's BORING AS you know what 😂.
This is Ugly unfortunately
Made in China
bet it's like most EVs ... complete waste of time and money 😅
Walk into a Kia dealer and ask to test drive an EV6. Until then you have no valid opinion.
Imo gotta bring that charging network to really compete with tesla.
