    The Audi e-tron is an impressive EV at the luxury level, but it sacrifices a lot of driving performance/feedback for comfort. Let's see what Alex thinks in this "unboxing"!

It's the only car that at 250 kph feel like a smooth 120kph in others.

      Personally I think videos look better in SDR. I have the 1000nit G Sync Ultimate display, but turning on HDR locks your color controls and makes everything look dull. Even worse is in many games it just drops the general vibrancy just to make the sun and certain lights brighter in comparison as in SDR the display still is run at full brightness for the brightest looking elements. So it just means less lighting for random objects which means also weaker color performance.

    Alex is a natural at car reviews, I've seen all sorts of reviews over the years, and often found the presenter annoying or distracting. Alex is both Informative and brutally honest, whilst being very personable. I've really enjoyed the format too, I like we spend a lot of time around the car and inside the car before actually driving, it's often all those small details that Alex has explained that you only discover after buying a car and they become annoying and you wish you knew about them before.
    Side thing, I really don't like the move to touch screen for everything that we're increasingly seeing. Frankly I think it's dangerous! In my VW Polo, a baby Golf, I know exactly where all the physical knobs and buttons are, and from muscle memory and touch, I can adjust everything without taking my eyes off the road. There's no way you could adjust temp or fan speed on a touch screen without looking down at it.

I slammed on my accelerator and I thought I accelerate nicely. Then the E-tron slammed on the accelerator and oh boy it just seriously pulled. It even kicked up rocks at 100 km/h speed! It over took 3 cars within like 2 seconds. I had to spend a good while to pass those same 3 cars.
    That moment cemented my thoughts on getting an EV and not just any EV but Tesla Model 3 Performance. EVs just have colossal amounts of torque and they pull like mad. They have such powerful motors and ICE cars are always left eating dust when EV comes on the scene and starts pulling.
