2024 Audi Q8 E-tron 55 quattro Full ELECTRIC CAR Review

Why the Luxurious Audi Q8 e-tron 55 Quattro is so Scrumptious
written review HERE: gaycarboys.com/why-the-luxuri...
Q8 e-tron 55 Quattro (previously know just e-tron 55) has the full works.
The tastefully curated cabin is positively stuffed full of wonderous gizmos wrapped in beautifully tailored leather. The handsome exterior already has a sloped rear end, but buyers can take that even further with the Sportback coupé SUV.
Our test Car
The Magnet Grey Q8 e-tron, looks strangely unadorned, in a quiet, understated way. It will appeal to the besuited spy slipping into a cocktail party unnoticed.
There are a couple of great features in the form of dual charging outlets located just ahead of the front doors. Operated by pressing the e-tron badge, the doors swing open to reveal an AC socket on one side, or a full AC/DC fast charger socket on the other. Just make sure you have the right side for DC fast charging as those hoses weigh a ton.
Headlights are LED, but the sensational full Matrix LED experience is a $3,300 option.
The electric boot hatch has a close/lock button on its lower edge, and a swipe to open/close function when your hands are full of shopping. Boot space (569L) is modest (until the seats are put down) to accommodate a trick spare tyre. The airless space saver collapses around the rim only to spring to full size when pumped up. It a brilliant application of a complex idea made simple, and everyone should be using it.
The 62L frunk is the perfect spot for (included) charging cables and other motoring flotsam.

A balanced review as always.
But a grandpa’s car for those with more money than good sense. Way too expensive.
I am a grandpa but intend to buy my last car this year but a petrol model before they all become extinct.
I plan to buy my 4th Alfa, a Giulia, either a TI or Veloce, to see out my days.
Won’t cost me anything like this car to buy and run especially with depreciation and the driving pleasure will be immeasurable, I know.
Have always swum against the tide.
I do have the same Alfa mechanic, still, after 24 years so just need to test drive when well enough and then start looking. 😁

if you love you Alfa then go for it. they are lovely to drive.

Thanks mate. Always enjoy your reviews, you both being mature men like me. You bring such expertise and professionalism to your road tests and so I try to comment each time as I feel you deserve a much larger following.
Sorry if I am so verbose but have been housebound for over 12 months, diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer and endured the most horrible treatment. Finished in early December and the outcome does seem very promising. Then suddenly last week I am feeling so much better.👏 So all men over 50 please go get checked.

EVs in USA have dropped a lot %.
If you just go EV buy a demo or used unless you plan on keeping it for a long time.
They will depreciate

[@gaycarboys]

that's not so. The rate of increase may have slowed slightly. According to Forbes, "47% y-o-y in 2023 are are projected to be up 32% in 2024." so I think we can still say the growth is substantial.

If you buy secondhand I think you need to find someone to warrant the integrity of the battery pack and also get a decent replacement warranty on the battery pack.

[@gaycarboys]

@@WazzaG076 yes to both. batteries usually get 8 year warranty and it is transferable. i think it is 70% efficiency? if less than that at end of warrnty it is replaced. i assume it also has a warranty but am not sure.
