As well as teasing the series production version of the E-tron GT in the movie, Audi is also teasing the topic of sound for its up-coming electric cars. In the near future, regulations will require that electric cars make a sound in many markets around the world. The sound that Audi developed for the E-tron GT concept in the new Avengers movie is not the actual sound of the E-tron GT series production version - which goes into production in 2020."
So many things you didn't hit on that other EVs at this price point don't have. The interior at night with the lighting its amazing, the Premium sound system sounds incredible, and the adjustable air ride suspension awesome! Another cool factor is the Audi lights when you open the door.

Welcome to VW Audi. I love German cars but VW is one car I'd never own unless it's a R8 or anything exotic. I do like the RS7 but me owning one... Probably not. There's a reason you never see 100k + mile Audi's on the road regularly

I am waiting for my q7 that I just ordered, and while waiting I asked to test drive the e-tron. It was a sport back and fully loaded. Let’s just say my brain is still on the backseat of it somewhere. This isn’t a just a car, although it does drive like one. It just truly feels like a future form of transportation. Can’t believe we lived to see this! And future is very exciting I promise you that!

I do not understand that. My e-tron is the fastest car on the road.

@@panagiotisf7228 "All of this really comes down to your electricity source, which is fairly easy to find out if you don’t already know. Depending on where you live this can change drastically. Looking at data from the U.S. Department of Energy, in Massachusetts we’re 69% natural gas, 16% nuclear, 8% renewable (solar, hydro, wind), and 4% coal ... and a few other random things round it out. A gasoline car produces 11,435 pounds of CO2 equivalent each year vs. an EV in Massachusetts at 3,533 pounds of CO2 equivalent each year. If you take a step back and look at the national average, EVs step up slightly to 4,453 pounds of CO2 equivalent per year. Move to a state like Missouri, which is 80% coal, and EVs produce 8,135 pounds of CO2 equivalent per year. Still better than gasoline cars, but nothing close to what we’re seeing in states like California at 1,974 pounds of CO2 for an EV each year.12 Even a purely coal electricity driven EV will pollute less than an average conventional gasoline car over its lifespan.13 It’s the emissions saved from using the car day to day that pull EVs way ahead of gasoline cars, and as more states and countries move into cleaner electricity, those numbers will continue to improve over time. Norway is nearly 100% renewable energy right now. And some surveyshave shown that between 28-40% of EV owners have solar panels on their homes, like I do. And finally, the end of life of these cars. Lithium ion batteries can be recycled, which will keep hazardous materials from entering the waste system. Some car companies, like Renault with their Zoe EV in Europe, are taking degraded batteries and repurposing them into their whole home battery storage system.14 Tesla already has partners for recycling spent battery cells, but is planning to build out it’s internal recycling system to make all of the Gigafactories a closed loop system. It’s not only good for the environment, but it also makes financial sense because they can recoup a lot of valuable materials without having to dig for more.15 In the end, both gasoline and EVs put out just under one ton of CO2 during disposal." Please kys this is literally the future
Keep in mind Doug doesn't upload videos right after recording them, he has to edit them and all. I think he usually releases videos about 1-2.5 weeks after recording the video
Cameron how many days a week do you go more than let’s say the 310 miles on the model 3? I thought like you did but I wake up to a full car in my drive way every morning and spend considerably less time refueling than with a gas car. On road trips there’s usually restaurants at the super chargers. I plan it so I stop when I would have stopped for food anyway and I’m on my way for another 250 miles after 30 minutes. It’s all better and that argument is only valid for people regularly drive 300 miles + on most days of the week.
@@camel717 doesnt matter, electric cars are still superior in every way possible compared to the combustion engine.

@@unlucky5442 thats how a charge curve works, the 250kw for 3-5 minutes is a massive change. it should charge at that rate for longer though, try charing when your battery is at about 15-20% and warm from driving.
@@wsrobert32 yeah thats not true on audis part or they dramatically reduce their battery lifetime. the few minutes with the model 3 is because of the physical ESR of the batteries, not because of overheating. Im putting my money on VAG trying to make EVs "bad" so people go back to diesels, because that is simply a strategic decision to keep them dominating the market.
@@curleypubes3672 The only thing that people care about is how far they can go on the time they spent charging. Every Tesla is far more efficient than the Etron, so they can go farther on less power. As a result, you can charge the Etron (per this video) and get 160 miles in 30 minutes at 150kW. You can charge the Model 3 at a 150kW capable supercharger for 30 minutes and gain 235 miles of range. No one is going to care about how much power you are putting into the battery if it won't take you the same distance. As a result, the Model 3 is able to charge faster.
@@curleypubes3672 Given the same starting charge percentage and the same amount of time hooked up to a charger, the Tesla will provide you with more range = the Tesla charges faster.
Kia, Hyundai, and check have gotten to 250 mile range. I know they are smaller but still. The biggest think holding electric back is the lithium battery is getting almost to the max on charge time and distance. Hopefully a next gen battery can come out in the next decade, maybe graphene.
Brent Bristol when I have to visit a Customer for works purposes, it averages a 320 mile round trip. Until these cars are getting 400 miles, I can’t consider. I’m not driving round looking for a charger just in case. I can’t turn up hoping I can plug in at the clients office. Sometimes they just don’t have the parking facilities. I’m sure a lot of other drivers are in the same boat. Hopefully they will get there with the battery tech in the next 5 years.
@@gbjwal1 I think they will. Battery tech has come a long way in the last 5 years. The benefit that Tesla has is the Supercharger network. You can plug in and then stretch your legs and enjoy a coffee and be ready to go. Granted, currently driving an electric car today longer distance takes more planning then a traditional ICE car, but it can be done quite easily.

Couple small corrections: - New Teslas (S, X and 3) now charge up to 250kW - New Model X has 4.6 0-60 on the base, 2.7 on high performance (don't understand how it is a larger and quicker car than the I-Pace, yet gets a lower number for acceleration) The Model X is 8k more, but you get quicker charging speeds, quicker acceleration, more cargo room, longer range, third-row option, Autopilot standard, better infotainment system, smart-air suspension standard, etc. 8K is 8K but I would choose the Model X any day.
I have the E-tron Edition One, picked it up on May 10th. Drove from Madison WI to Minneapolis, MN. Stopped in Eau Claire at an electrify America SuperCharger. Landed with 9% battery remaining, connected at 139 kW at 4:39 PM and at 5:21 PM received MYAUDI notification that charging was complete. Achieved 91% in 42 minutes!
@@tayvionstutzman2698 You can not even say that. As the charge speed is ruined by it's efficency. 84kwh battery (useable) for 203 miles. That means you spend more time charging for each drivable mile. That kills the 150kw charging. especially when it is compeating against cars that charge at a higher rate and get more miles per kwh. This is one of the major areas car reviewers need to learn to consider and they will in time.
True, The only thing that could be dangerous to the Model S is the Porsche Taycan. It seems like they put an emphasis on consistency of performance, which means that they want it to be able to do a whole lap around the nordschleife and multiple launches without losing power. Something the Teslas can't do. The rest of the bunch (Audi, Mercedes) put out cars that aren't really competitive to anything tesla makes.
College professors adjust the ranges of the grades. In my first chemistry class, a 75 was actually a B-. But since the highest Dougscore is 74, no one is passing.
That's just not accurate - there are a number of sub-0.30cD vehicles that just aren't styled like Teslas at all. The C6 Corvette was of course rather noteworthy when it came out in the mid-2000s for achieving a 'crazy' low drag coefficient - 0.287cD Modern cars are significantly better though, even family sedans achieving much superior drag coefficients than even a performance-focused sports car like the C6 'vette... The current Audi A6: looks like, quite literally, a 'normal' sedan - 0.26cD The current Mazda3: also a 'normal' sedan - also 0.26cD Mercedes B-class: a quite upright 'normal' hatchback - again 0.26 The current Hyundai Sonata hybrid: 'normal' sedan that doesn't even scream 'HYBRID!' in such form - 0.25cD The Tesla Model S: looks like a Tesla, because why would you not want to make it obvious that it's NOT a 'normal' sedan(re: Apple commercial "what's a computer?") - 0.24cD Heres one for you, the current M-B S-class, a notoriously huge car(granted, it's all in length) - a Tesla-matching 0.24cD Even better, the gorgeous M-B CLA: it looks like a gorgeous CLA, but still a quite 'normal' 'coupe-sedan' - 0.22cD No. High coefficient of drag automobiles DO NOT have to look like Toyota Priuses and Teslas - they absolutely CAN still look like "normal" cars, "normal" family sedans even.
@@RyTrapp0 you stated all cars, I'm only referencing the topic at hand. SUVs normally don't fair as well as cars. The Model X has a .24 drag coefficient. Do you watch other TH-camrs? Bjørn does great videos, and when he compared other SUV type EVs, one of Teslas biggest advantages was its slippery drag coefficient.
@ewanok except you know nothing about me to make that assertion, and people have always touted specs when comparing cars. Infiniti used to brag about how flat and aerodynamic the undercarriage of their cars were. They also would brag about their drag coefficients. This is nothing new in the automotive world. It's just nonsense Tesla haters parrot to act like Tesla fans are doing something new. Fans of anything will compare specs. As long as there is competition, then we'll always break out a spec sheet. Losers complain about specs, when they find out their specs are inferior.
NH Berrics Yes but don’t forget when Tesla had huge delays and issues when building the Model X. Not only that but they still have issues with bad build quality.
NH Berrics except for the fact that this is an audi. It has a great interior and the quality control is spot on. Its even cheaper than the tesla by a mile. The model x is done, outdated, and to be frank you have to be an idiot to buy one if you could get this...
It's based on a scale that goes from 1 point at 7 seconds or slower to 10 points at 3 seconds or faster. Every car since the beginning of the Doug Score has been judged by this scale.
About charging you are incorrect. The model 3 is now the fastest in production with charging at 250KW with v3. Also the model S has been updated to the same 150KW which is rolling out
Also doesn't matter how fast if the fast charging network infrastructure (and integration, reliability) isn't there to support it. That's a big advantage for Tesla, at least for now.
All good points. I'll add that empty to 80% charge time is a useless metric. What matters in the end is how much time you have to spend charging on long drives. Model 3 easily wins on this metric, since it's so efficient and since Superchargers are plentiful, allowing you to avoid filling the battery too much. Here's a Model 3 long range charging at a v2 Supercharger, adding 200 miles of range in less than half an hour: th-cam.com/video/iE8kkfPlUv4/w-d-xo.html.
Before you buy an EV, try out www.abetterrouteplanner.com to see how practical it is for the routes you travel. LA to Vegas requires over an hour charging in E-tron, and you have to stay under 62 MPH for 3 hours: abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=df481524-7434-4d4e-ac46-e9a325f6b2f4. Tesla Model X LR takes only 12 minutes to charge: abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=d865ada5-6d6d-4b41-bb1c-484cdbd421c9. Even the Model X SR needs only 16 minutes to charge. Model 3 is even faster, taking 10 minutes. Conclusion: Doug is way off on the practically score.
Correction: Teslas charge at 200 - 250 kW depending upon the model. Also, Mode X is a much larger and more capable vehicle. Great to see Audi producing something compelling though!
These are the peak charging rates, just like all EV manufacturers list them. The battery pack is only capable of accepting this much power for a short period of time. So no, you can't fully charge a 100 kWh Tesla from empty to full in 23 minutes, but there's also no need to. You CAN stop at a Supercharger for 23 minutes and gain plenty of energy to drive for several more hours until you'll want to stop again.
The reason they are electric release is for audi exit warning. If a car or bike is coming under 52mph next to door it will not open first click to let you know to check your surroundings
I much prefer Tesla's range, Supercharging stations, always up to date OTA updates, much faster acceleration and lack of maintenance. Audi is trying to sell regular maintenance contracts on these eTrons as if they had oil changes... The 204mi range is horrendous when it's packing a 90kwh battery.
@@Hirorir not true, it does until 80%. I looked at both charging curves at it is quite obvious. It is just a fact that in terms of charging the etron is the best ev at the moment. On other aspects model 3 is much better though.
@@0xdr0id29 Hm. Considering the battery capacity difference of about 20kWh to the Model 3, I can't say that the E-Tron is doing better. If Tesla decided to start packing their current gen 2170 batteries to the same capacity as the E-Tron, they would see a linear increase of 27% in charging rates, which is effectively the same as the E-Tron. If this were to be implemented on the MS/X it would be further improved due to the separate disconnected battery thermal management system. Aside from that, the E-Tron's range is piss poor for the battery capacity. If the charge rate applied the miles/kWh metric for the vehicle, you get about 163 miles in 30 minutes. All of Tesla's vehicles are well above that rate. You're better off getting a Kona Electric.
Was waiting for you to drive this new baby. I spent days and days with it in the desert of Abu Dhabi or the snow of Sweden. It sure is unique. For a petrol head like me, I prefer my RS4 B5 Avant, but I wouldn't mind having this as a city car. The future is calling huh...?
You don't need to watch the whole video without skipping to unlock comments you know. Everyone tries to do those really unfunny 'Doug the type of gut to ____' thinking lots of other original cunts will like it.
Except for me. I know my EVs very well, even being able to tell apart the electric and petrol versions of almost all these models. When an EV is parked at a parking lot, I immediately notice it and point it out, then proceed to walk up to it and take a look at it up close. If I saw an Audi E-Tron (even a Jaguar I-Pace or any Tesla), I would start to lose my shit (where I live, EVs are pretty rare, see like 2 per month). The rarity of a Tesla is somewhere between a BMW Z4 and a BMW i8 here.
The battery is 95 kWh but only has a 204 mile range. The Model X has a 75 kWh battery and a 250 mile range. How is it THAT bad with that huge of a battery?!
its rushed and i can guarantee you pretty awful longevity, especially with the risky charge rates. it took tesla years to carefully optimize the battery charging profile using data from all teslas on the road. audi used outdated chemistry batteries and didnt bother to test them. i suppose they want it to be expensive to maintain after a few years since it will drive people back to diesel cars, which is audis strength
@@drkastenbrot I still think waiting at least 3 years to buy any electric car is probably a good idea. My favorite is the Kona electric. Much better range, smaller battery, lifetime battery warranty, and much cheaper / more reliable.
7:09 you see that space on the top of the door opening handle, there's a model of the etron that has screens there, instead of having mirrors outside you have camera's !
If you can afford a SUV that's about $75k, honestly just go for the long-range Tesla Model X at about $84,000. That's 325 miles of range compared to this Audi's 204. That's a big difference IMHO.
The Audi SUV is a joke. Rivian SUV kills this for a startup company but they can t get it to the market I till 2021. 200 mile range you may as well buy an Hyundai Kona with 258 mile range.

@@panagiotisf7228 "All of this really comes down to your electricity source, which is fairly easy to find out if you don’t already know. Depending on where you live this can change drastically. Looking at data from the U.S. Department of Energy, in Massachusetts we’re 69% natural gas, 16% nuclear, 8% renewable (solar, hydro, wind), and 4% coal ... and a few other random things round it out. A gasoline car produces 11,435 pounds of CO2 equivalent each year vs. an EV in Massachusetts at 3,533 pounds of CO2 equivalent each year. If you take a step back and look at the national average, EVs step up slightly to 4,453 pounds of CO2 equivalent per year. Move to a state like Missouri, which is 80% coal, and EVs produce 8,135 pounds of CO2 equivalent per year. Still better than gasoline cars, but nothing close to what we’re seeing in states like California at 1,974 pounds of CO2 for an EV each year.12 Even a purely coal electricity driven EV will pollute less than an average conventional gasoline car over its lifespan.13
It’s the emissions saved from using the car day to day that pull EVs way ahead of gasoline cars, and as more states and countries move into cleaner electricity, those numbers will continue to improve over time. Norway is nearly 100% renewable energy right now. And some surveyshave shown that between 28-40% of EV owners have solar panels on their homes, like I do.
And finally, the end of life of these cars. Lithium ion batteries can be recycled, which will keep hazardous materials from entering the waste system. Some car companies, like Renault with their Zoe EV in Europe, are taking degraded batteries and repurposing them into their whole home battery storage system.14 Tesla already has partners for recycling spent battery cells, but is planning to build out it’s internal recycling system to make all of the Gigafactories a closed loop system. It’s not only good for the environment, but it also makes financial sense because they can recoup a lot of valuable materials without having to dig for more.15 In the end, both gasoline and EVs put out just under one ton of CO2 during disposal."

Great. And I can fill up my gas tank and get a range of 350 miles in about 3 minutes. Kicks ass compared to electric charging.
Cameron how many days a week do you go more than let’s say the 310 miles on the model 3? I thought like you did but I wake up to a full car in my drive way every morning and spend considerably less time refueling than with a gas car. On road trips there’s usually restaurants at the super chargers. I plan it so I stop when I would have stopped for food anyway and I’m on my way for another 250 miles after 30 minutes. It’s all better and that argument is only valid for people regularly drive 300 miles + on most days of the week.

also, teslas batteries will actually endure this whereas audi did completely insufficient testing with their outdated chemistry
From personal experience.. it only charges at 250kw for like 3 mins at the start then flattens out on about 120-140 depending on the charger.
@@unlucky5442 thats how a charge curve works, the 250kw for 3-5 minutes is a massive change. it should charge at that rate for longer though, try charing when your battery is at about 15-20% and warm from driving.

Briefly it tapers off fast. Still a model 3 is way more efficient so it will be a better road trip car.
Not true. That only lasts for a brief while. This remains at 150 throughout. So it is the fastest
@@curleypubes3672 The only thing that people care about is how far they can go on the time they spent charging. Every Tesla is far more efficient than the Etron, so they can go farther on less power. As a result, you can charge the Etron (per this video) and get 160 miles in 30 minutes at 150kW. You can charge the Model 3 at a 150kW capable supercharger for 30 minutes and gain 235 miles of range.
No one is going to care about how much power you are putting into the battery if it won't take you the same distance. As a result, the Model 3 is able to charge faster.

Couple small corrections:
- New Teslas (S, X and 3) now charge up to 250kW
- New Model X has 4.6 0-60 on the base, 2.7 on high performance (don't understand how it is a larger and quicker car than the I-Pace, yet gets a lower number for acceleration)
The Model X is 8k more, but you get quicker charging speeds, quicker acceleration, more cargo room, longer range, third-row option, Autopilot standard, better infotainment system, smart-air suspension standard, etc. 8K is 8K but I would choose the Model X any day.

Honestly the only thing it has going for it is the charge speed
Tesla know the Germans are coming. All in good time
@@tayvionstutzman2698 You can not even say that. As the charge speed is ruined by it's efficency. 84kwh battery (useable) for 203 miles. That means you spend more time charging for each drivable mile. That kills the 150kw charging. especially when it is compeating against cars that charge at a higher rate and get more miles per kwh.
This is one of the major areas car reviewers need to learn to consider and they will in time.
Yee, but it’s SO much better than any Tesla
True, The only thing that could be dangerous to the Model S is the Porsche Taycan. It seems like they put an emphasis on consistency of performance, which means that they want it to be able to do a whole lap around the nordschleife and multiple launches without losing power. Something the Teslas can't do. The rest of the bunch (Audi, Mercedes) put out cars that aren't really competitive to anything tesla makes.

Umm, coefficient of drag! That's why Teslas look the way they do. It's not just for attention, it's functional.
That's just not accurate - there are a number of sub-0.30cD vehicles that just aren't styled like Teslas at all.
The C6 Corvette was of course rather noteworthy when it came out in the mid-2000s for achieving a 'crazy' low drag coefficient - 0.287cD
Modern cars are significantly better though, even family sedans achieving much superior drag coefficients than even a performance-focused sports car like the C6 'vette...
The current Audi A6: looks like, quite literally, a 'normal' sedan - 0.26cD
The current Mazda3: also a 'normal' sedan - also 0.26cD
Mercedes B-class: a quite upright 'normal' hatchback - again 0.26
The current Hyundai Sonata hybrid: 'normal' sedan that doesn't even scream 'HYBRID!' in such form - 0.25cD
The Tesla Model S: looks like a Tesla, because why would you not want to make it obvious that it's NOT a 'normal' sedan(re: Apple commercial "what's a computer?") - 0.24cD
Heres one for you, the current M-B S-class, a notoriously huge car(granted, it's all in length) - a Tesla-matching 0.24cD
Even better, the gorgeous M-B CLA: it looks like a gorgeous CLA, but still a quite 'normal' 'coupe-sedan' - 0.22cD
No. High coefficient of drag automobiles DO NOT have to look like Toyota Priuses and Teslas - they absolutely CAN still look like "normal" cars, "normal" family sedans even.
@@RyTrapp0 you stated all cars, I'm only referencing the topic at hand. SUVs normally don't fair as well as cars. The Model X has a .24 drag coefficient. Do you watch other TH-camrs? Bjørn does great videos, and when he compared other SUV type EVs, one of Teslas biggest advantages was its slippery drag coefficient.
@ewanok except you know nothing about me to make that assertion, and people have always touted specs when comparing cars. Infiniti used to brag about how flat and aerodynamic the undercarriage of their cars were. They also would brag about their drag coefficients. This is nothing new in the automotive world. It's just nonsense Tesla haters parrot to act like Tesla fans are doing something new. Fans of anything will compare specs. As long as there is competition, then we'll always break out a spec sheet. Losers complain about specs, when they find out their specs are inferior.
surface area * DC is actually what matters
ewanok I love that morons act like drag coefficient is inconsequential to range.
To be fair, I think Audi is currently having delays and production issues and Tesla is building model x just fine for quite some time now.
NH Berrics Yes but don’t forget when Tesla had huge delays and issues when building the Model X. Not only that but they still have issues with bad build quality.
Apollo 99 The Audi is like the Tesla Model D all over again except from a known company.

Doug: this car is incredibly fast 500 feet of torque
*Gives it a 4 out of 10 in acceleration* 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
xXMediaTrix Agree, his statement and score always not match 😴😴😴
It's based on a scale that goes from 1 point at 7 seconds or slower to 10 points at 3 seconds or faster. Every car since the beginning of the Doug Score has been judged by this scale.
Yea it’s stupid. A car that goes 0-60 in 7 seconds is a 1/10 in acceleration, but a car that goes 0-60 in 15 seconds is also a 1/10.
Also the E-Tron has the same acceleration as the Model X but the Model X gets a 6 and the Audi a 4
The Doug Score is as rational as the idea of sleeping with both Hillary and Merkel, at the same time.
About charging you are incorrect. The model 3 is now the fastest in production with charging at 250KW with v3. Also the model S has been updated to the same 150KW which is rolling out
And even if a model 3 was charging at "only" 120 kW, it would still gain range faster because it's way more efficient than the E-tron
Also doesn't matter how fast if the fast charging network infrastructure (and integration, reliability) isn't there to support it. That's a big advantage for Tesla, at least for now.
All good points. I'll add that empty to 80% charge time is a useless metric. What matters in the end is how much time you have to spend charging on long drives. Model 3 easily wins on this metric, since it's so efficient and since Superchargers are plentiful, allowing you to avoid filling the battery too much.
Here's a Model 3 long range charging at a v2 Supercharger, adding 200 miles of range in less than half an hour: th-cam.com/video/iE8kkfPlUv4/w-d-xo.html.
Before you buy an EV, try out www.abetterrouteplanner.com to see how practical it is for the routes you travel.
LA to Vegas requires over an hour charging in E-tron, and you have to stay under 62 MPH for 3 hours: abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=df481524-7434-4d4e-ac46-e9a325f6b2f4.
Tesla Model X LR takes only 12 minutes to charge: abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=d865ada5-6d6d-4b41-bb1c-484cdbd421c9.
Even the Model X SR needs only 16 minutes to charge. Model 3 is even faster, taking 10 minutes.
Conclusion: Doug is way off on the practically score.

Wow, the 3d parking cam is really cool!
Correction: Teslas charge at 200 - 250 kW depending upon the model. Also, Mode X is a much larger and more capable vehicle. Great to see Audi producing something compelling though!
These are the peak charging rates, just like all EV manufacturers list them. The battery pack is only capable of accepting this much power for a short period of time. So no, you can't fully charge a 100 kWh Tesla from empty to full in 23 minutes, but there's also no need to. You CAN stop at a Supercharger for 23 minutes and gain plenty of energy to drive for several more hours until you'll want to stop again.
I love how excited Doug gets when he’s driving a brand new car new else has driven!
Electric door release but manual fold rear seats?
There's also a button to get the charging port lol.
Racism
The reason they are electric release is for audi exit warning. If a car or bike is coming under 52mph next to door it will not open first click to let you know to check your surroundings
@@Vasili.Vasilios ok actually a great reason. Thanks for the update.
@@Vasili.Vasilios That's brilliant!
I much prefer Tesla's range, Supercharging stations, always up to date OTA updates, much faster acceleration and lack of maintenance. Audi is trying to sell regular maintenance contracts on these eTrons as if they had oil changes... The 204mi range is horrendous when it's packing a 90kwh battery.
Agree!
Doug the type of guy to still have the Christmas tree in his living room.
Lmao who doesn't
I set up my Christmas tree in mid October and I live in Southern California, we have like no winter, or an autumn.
All of Tesla's fleet got upgraded to 150kW on all of their existing supercharging network about 2 weeks ago. The newer ones do 250kW
Robert Olson Only the Model 3 can do 250 kW charge rates. The updated S & X will do 200 kW charge rates.
Only the model 3 will benefit from the 145kw v2 upgrade
Pre-refresh tesla model s and x can't charge as fast
@@TitanSKiZlz The model S and X have been upped as well in the last update
Actually the Tesla Model 3 can charge up to 250kW 4:38
stef27_123 Upgraded through a software update lmao!
yea, but just for a short time in the beginning of the charge.
@@0xdr0id29 The E-Tron is unlikely capable of sustaining a 150kW charge rate either...
@@Hirorir not true, it does until 80%. I looked at both charging curves at it is quite obvious. It is just a fact that in terms of charging the etron is the best ev at the moment. On other aspects model 3 is much better though.
@@0xdr0id29 Hm. Considering the battery capacity difference of about 20kWh to the Model 3, I can't say that the E-Tron is doing better. If Tesla decided to start packing their current gen 2170 batteries to the same capacity as the E-Tron, they would see a linear increase of 27% in charging rates, which is effectively the same as the E-Tron.
If this were to be implemented on the MS/X it would be further improved due to the separate disconnected battery thermal management system.
Aside from that, the E-Tron's range is piss poor for the battery capacity. If the charge rate applied the miles/kWh metric for the vehicle, you get about 163 miles in 30 minutes. All of Tesla's vehicles are well above that rate.
You're better off getting a Kona Electric.
0-60 mph is 5.5. :) in Sport mode. Love how you get excited about the opening of the charger port!
Doug, I think you should take a look at new Superchargers by Tesla. They charge a LOOOOTTTT faster than 150kw
That's the supercharger, is the car rated for the same? 🤔
Supercharger used to mean excitement....
ғɪʟʟ 1ɴ ᴛ҉ ʜ3 ʙʟᴀɴᴋs newish Model 3’s are, I’m not sure if it’s all of them or when they started including that hardware.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Model 3 gets 250kW, Model S/X get 200kW
And Porsche 350
Please make a “Best Doug is the type of guy compilation video”. We all want it....
Was waiting for you to drive this new baby. I spent days and days with it in the desert of Abu Dhabi or the snow of Sweden. It sure is unique. For a petrol head like me, I prefer my RS4 B5 Avant, but I wouldn't mind having this as a city car. The future is calling huh...?
could we sign a petition to make audi producing a new RS5 convertible? or is maybe too late?
The NA RS5 was better anyway, so why bother
They should allow you to customize the hum... so you can sound like you're driving a Countach one moment, and a Mirage the next!
what about a spaceship at all times? ;)

James R there is a bug :)
Notifications suck...
You don't need to watch the whole video without skipping to unlock comments you know.
Everyone tries to do those really unfunny 'Doug the type of gut to ____' thinking lots of other original cunts will like it.
well if you're the type of guy to make a 'type of guy' comment then you don't need to watch the whole video.
You would walk right past this in a parking lot, never giving it a thought.
Mike Morris not a bad thing to some.
Yep. That's Audi. Understated.
Except for me.
I know my EVs very well, even being able to tell apart the electric and petrol versions of almost all these models.
When an EV is parked at a parking lot, I immediately notice it and point it out, then proceed to walk up to it and take a look at it up close.
If I saw an Audi E-Tron (even a Jaguar I-Pace or any Tesla), I would start to lose my shit (where I live, EVs are pretty rare, see like 2 per month).
The rarity of a Tesla is somewhere between a BMW Z4 and a BMW i8 here.
I absolutely love the gauge cluster gps screen. Even if only for aesthetic purposes it would look great driving around. =)
The battery is 95 kWh but only has a 204 mile range. The Model X has a 75 kWh battery and a 250 mile range. How is it THAT bad with that huge of a battery?!
Audi is the most impressive carbrand. They are playmaker in like every class.
Cause it's a dumb giant SuV shit that makes no sense and weighs 200 tons and has aerodynamics like a refrigerator
I test drove one, they understate the range, it's closer to 400km (~250 miles)
its rushed and i can guarantee you pretty awful longevity, especially with the risky charge rates. it took tesla years to carefully optimize the battery charging profile using data from all teslas on the road. audi used outdated chemistry batteries and didnt bother to test them.
i suppose they want it to be expensive to maintain after a few years since it will drive people back to diesel cars, which is audis strength
@@drkastenbrot I still think waiting at least 3 years to buy any electric car is probably a good idea. My favorite is the Kona electric. Much better range, smaller battery, lifetime battery warranty, and much cheaper / more reliable.
7:09 you see that space on the top of the door opening handle, there's a model of the etron that has screens there, instead of having mirrors outside you have camera's !
If you can afford a SUV that's about $75k, honestly just go for the long-range Tesla Model X at about $84,000.
That's 325 miles of range compared to this Audi's 204. That's a big difference IMHO.
The Audi SUV is a joke. Rivian SUV kills this for a startup company but they can t get it to the market I till 2021. 200 mile range you may as well buy an Hyundai Kona with 258 mile range.
In Euro markets you can have cameras instead of mirrors. Now that's nice!
I think it is a great car but I really wouldn’t buy it for 75k though
Y tho
75k is a bargain?!
Noah Johnston 47k all day
Atleast it doesnt break down like a jaguar or tesla
RpM_Evan i know right i got mine few months ago and the quality is insanely good. The 2020 version even has 20miles extra range!
