12:52 regenerative braking isn't disabled, its just controlled using the brake pedal, the one-pedal braking is what's disabled and can be adjusted using the paddles (though never strong enough to come to a complete stop on its own). But you get regen every time you use the brake pedal (With the exception of hard or sudden stops).
Very useful review, thank you. I’ve got one coming this week, hopefully, and you’ve answered a lot of my questions - found the dealership to be quite clueless about a lot of the tech!
@@TotallyEV went for the regular e-tron 50 (navarra blue 😍). I couldn’t justify the cost of the 55 tbh, the extra mileage and minor speed bump weren’t worth an extra £200pm and the 50 will absolutely suit my needs 99% of the time
Great review! I bought one in navarra blue. Having a small child that gets car sick quickly, the e-tron is our hope to be able to do longer weekend tours again. We have tested all of the big EVs on the market and this was the most comfy by far. The range is good enough, specially combined to the best charging curve and speed.
Glad you liked the review! Oh indeed, the e-tron is by far one of the comfiest vehicles on the market, be it EV or not. When do you take delivery of the beast?
@@TotallyEV she was with us during the test drive. With the Tesla 3 (we considered getting one while waiting for the Tesla Y), she got sick on the 2 km between the kindergarten and home. With e-tron we just drove and drove (about 17 km), while she sang from her child seat. So it's very promising!
Thanks for the review. I’m thrilled to be getting the first 2022 Chronos etron to arrive in Hawaii. I share your views presented after my test drive, albeit we already have an X and don’t need significant range here.
@@TotallyEV yes.....the mrs has one as well. We lucked out on special pricing which enabled us to afford two vehicles. The only way I’m ever going back to a gas vehicle is if the wife lets me buy a 911
I bought a fully specd etron advanced s line, 2021 model, sunroof, bang olufsen, with new tires, driven 86000 km. Cost me around 36000 pounds. A good deal?
@@TotallyEVmy preference was the Mercedes EQC but i wasnt going to 8 months for that so I selected a vehicle which was already preordered. I dont know much about cars so heavily rely on videos like yours. Can't wait to try the 3 point turn on Wimbledon Common!
In other words, the reviewer is saying 'stay away from this car'. There is a clue when he spends 80% of the review talking about interior road noise. Are you listening, Audi?

To bad the Charging Station charging stations are so bad it's not even funny anymore!
That's true, some of the infrastructure around the country really needs to improve!
12:52 regenerative braking isn't disabled, its just controlled using the brake pedal, the one-pedal braking is what's disabled and can be adjusted using the paddles (though never strong enough to come to a complete stop on its own). But you get regen every time you use the brake pedal (With the exception of hard or sudden stops).
Indeed, you're right - it was in reference to the one-pedal regen. Good spot!
Additionally in auto mode, depending on the road and sensor inputs, it will adjust regen on the fly by itself.

Pleasure, glad you found the video useful! Which model did you go for exactly, the e-tron or e-tron S or the e-tron Sportback?

Fair enough, thanks for sharing! Let us know when you take delivery this week :)

Ah brilliant! Let us know how you get on and what your kid makes of it too :)

I bought 2. Sure the range isn’t as good as a Tesla, but the build quality is far superior. Also charges quicker than other EV’S.
Incredible! Presumably one for you and the other for your partner?
@@TotallyEV yes.....the mrs has one as well. We lucked out on special pricing which enabled us to afford two vehicles. The only way I’m ever going back to a gas vehicle is if the wife lets me buy a 911
Haha, good luck with that!
@@TotallyEV hey a guy can dream
Very very tough to say ok on a range that’s 30+% less than most of its competitors …
Good video and thank you!
Glad you liked the review!
Great review! I'd love to see one on the jaguar!
Thanks David, hopefully we'll get it in for review soon!

Sounds great.
Hello. I have the BANG & OLUFSEN con ADVANCED 3D, and for me is no good. I try to fix the sound witch the APPs Wavelet from my movile.
Thanks for sharing.
Great review Chris. How tall are you? Just helps with dimensions.
Thank you, glad you liked the video! Just under 6ft (182cm) - hope that helps?
@@TotallyEV yes, thank you
Pleasure!
After watching your review I can’t wait to get mine in June
Glad you liked the review! Which model are you getting exactly?
@@TotallyEV the one I have ordered is etron 55 SUV quattro 408 Sport in mythos Black.
Oh very nice! Any differences with what you ordered vs what was reviewed due to the chip shortages?
@@TotallyEVmy preference was the Mercedes EQC but i wasnt going to 8 months for that so I selected a vehicle which was already preordered. I dont know much about cars so heavily rely on videos like yours. Can't wait to try the 3 point turn on Wimbledon Common!
@@prash_t ha, glad you found the video useful :)!
I'm looking to buy one of these. I need a range of 250km so this should be fine in summer and winter.
Thanks for sharing; let us know what you make of it, if you get it!
@@TotallyEV I will. What did you think of the lane keeping assistant? I drove the polestar 2 recently and that was perfect (for me).
@@Maxzor11 it's got one of the better LKA/S systems out there. We've not tried the Polestar 2 yet, but that's on our to-do list!
Have it, love it
What do you love most about it? And which variant do you have :)?
Would be an amazing car if they reduced the weight/battery size and improved the efficiency.
Indeed, although the new Q8 adds an even larger battery - review is live!
sd card reader?
Not from what we remember, no!
@@TotallyEV 3:35
@@MrBazsi888 good spot, sorry; but can't comment on it - best looking through the manual to see if it's usable.

How much 😳😳 no thanks
Indeed, quite spenny!
Comparing this to a Kia? Like comparing a diamond to a turd.
The so called turd has better range lol.
