    Despite the thirst Etron's quick charging makes it seem viable for trips. It certainly is a nice car.

    Those 21" wheels definitely take a toll on efficiency (and range). But they look great. Worth it. Also, great video.

      True. The problem is not so much the diameter, its the width which is 265 on both axles (square setup) with the 21 inch wheels. Would be cool with a re-test with the 19 inch aero wheels or even the 20 inch wheels. These are a bit narrower, and lighter, and will give give noticeably lower consumption. They are also even more quiet.

    My e-tron has the 20inch wheels. 70mph on the highway gets 2.6 miles/kWh with A/C on eco on a 85 degree day. I bet the 19" aero wheel is even better. Thanks for the test!

    • @omelvold
      @omelvold 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the same experience, I think it's the width that makes the difference. 245 vs. 265 non-staggered. I actually don't know any other EV that has 265 wide wheels on the front axle, except the Taycan Turbo S, which also has 305 wide rear wheels.. 🙂 Good test Kyle!

    • @fanirama
      @fanirama 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's like about 400 Wh/mi which is quite inefficient for an EV. By contrast the Tesla Y gives you approx. 250 Wh/mi or 4 miles/KWhr easily. Unless the e-tron improves their battery efficiency they're gonna have to pack a lot more battery into the car which in turn reduces efficiency again (as unlike fuel battery weight doesn't go down as you consume it leading to more efficiency with a lighter gas car) not to mention increasing costs or reducing their profits if they keep costs low. All this means, Audi won't be able to compete soon and will likely have to pull out of the EV market and die with their gas cars within a decade.

    • @omelvold
      @omelvold 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ​@@fanirama You make it sound like the smaller, more sparsely equipped and way less comfortable Model Y is "60% better" than the e-tron. The truth is that according to WLTP, which unlike fake EPA can be used for comparing cars, The Model Y has 17% better range per charge. Which corresponds quite well even with the 70 mph tests seen on this channel. Taking into account that this e-tron had the 21-inch, 265 wide (square setup) wheels. Remember, the e-tron also adds more kWh per minute on average when fast charging.
      For example, the e-tron 55 quattro would use approximately 53 hours and 20 charging stops going 5% over the speed limit from LA to New York. In the unlikely event of not using any destination chargers. abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=d46f39af-2880-48e1-bdcc-3e0b14947d7b
      The Model Y LR AWD would use 51 hours and need 22 charging stops on the same exercise, same route. abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=19619546-df34-4ce5-a51b-240eccc9a6b6
      The Model X LR Plus would use 52 hours and need 18 charging stops. abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=6bbcfb1e-6c14-473d-8ab5-faa6e2758a19
      In Europe, the situation is a little different due to more CCS fast chargers and higher speed limits, especially in Germany. So, if you were to go from Flensburg in northern Germany to Rome, it would take 21 hours and you would need 10 charging stops. abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=2e642696-4517-453b-99b6-4e8a786ab947
      The Model Y AWD LR would use 20 hours and 8 charging stops. abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=508127dd-2707-44cf-9455-daeb8b3cc316
      The Model X LR Plus would use 21 hours and 7 charging stops. abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=2e642696-4517-453b-99b6-4e8a786ab947

    I guessed 201 so I wasn’t too far off. I cheated and referenced Carwow range test and figured between highway speed of 70 and Europe’s camera mirrors you’d land a little lower. Hadn’t considered the Aero wheels...good call.

  • @omelvold
    @omelvold 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    At 15:45 , if you press that flag you will see the estimated battery percentage on arrival at your destination, or at multiple destinations.
    At 15:15 , in Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Virtual Cockpit , you can change those gauges to the more modern "e-tron" layout, like this; th-cam.com/video/l7kwAwJ0_qg/w-d-xo.html You can then Configure what information you want to have displayed permanently, like the average trip consumption, while you switch between different views and information.
    Usually you don't change this every day, but if you do, you can press and hold on an option to add a shortcut to the lower main screen. This can be done for most options, like enable/disable auto-fold mirrors, lock tailgate, tow-mode, wipers in service position, jack mode, etc. Or to bring up the charging screen to bring up the actual SOC in percent.. In addition to making shortcuts for Navi destinations.
    NOTE! I think the Virtual Cockpit is an option, note included in the base model. But it is planned to be one of the functions you can get on-demand or subscribe to. They just enabled this for the Matrix lights, which is pretty cool- if you rarely need it. Another function Audi plan to introduce is the Parking assist. You can briefly see it in this catchy commercial th-cam.com/video/nONn_c0CUWo/w-d-xo.html

    I just saw where you were driving this thing down on HWY 74 near Lumberton a couple of days ago.
    By the way, I’ve seen conflicting things about how the VW Group’s battery buffer works. Certain journalists claim the buffer is literally certain cells being kept “offline” until needed, whereas my understanding is the buffer is just all of the cells being capped from charging past a certain point (say 80% of actual full capacity). As the cells age VW/Audi has the ability to increase the charging threshold to make up for cell degradation and thus lower capacity.
    Btw, Kyle, I think your GF wants you to put a 💍 on it. Lol.

      @Lynyrd_Evnyrd 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Reading between the lines of the Battery Day Q&A, I’m starting to believe Tesla might switch to CCS2 (SAE J3068) in North America. If you rewatch the battery day Q&A, specifically here - th-cam.com/video/l6T9xIeZTds/w-d-xo.html , they seem to dance around the idea when talking about Vehicle to Grid.
      “We basically can enable that (V2G) in Europe (CCS2 cars) with a software update or something” but “it just happens with the way North American connectors are..... the Tesla connector and the connector other cars use (guessing CCS1) can’t do this (V2G)” and “future generations of (Tesla) power electronics (CCS2 port?) will have the ability to do this”. Breaking that all down it seems they might move to CCS2 with future vehicles and Tesla’s version of bidirectional charging will be DC only as only bidirectional AC charging at home would work well.
      Maybe they’re waiting on the Model S/X refresh to announce it more clearly so as not to Osborne themselves.
      I hope if they did ultimately do this EA could replace their spare unused connectors with CCS2 cords. That would be basically an overnight solution. Then I would wonder which other manufacturers would follow Tesla’s lead.

    Thank you for this video. We were debating to get eatron or not. We live for San Francisco area I need to know if this card can make it to kettleman City for 180 mi charge. It looks like it's not going to driving at 70 mph constantly. This means we will have to 🛑 stop three times for charging to make it from San Francisco to Los Angeles. And that will be 1 and 1/2 hours or 2 hours longer than the usual 6-hour drive. Overall the car is very cool I love the panoramic sunroof that has a shade

  • @gregj3320

    My 2021 Audi e-tron with 56,000 miles lost a lot of range suddenly November 2023. A 100% charge range of only 171 miles. An 80% charge range of 156 miles. This never went back up either. The temperature never went below 50° outside. I always charge at 80% unless I'm taking a trip And I do this every night at home. I rarely use a fast charger unless I'm taking a trip and need to get home. I spoke to Audi about this and they said the battery health was fine, battery degradation was normal and that there were no error codes so the battery was in good health. This is ridiculous to me. Not to mention that a $75,000 vehicle is now only worth $32,000 for trade in value. And now the e-tron has a battery recall due to a fire risk. Before the battery issues, the car was one of my favorites. And I was all on board the electric vehicle evolution. Not so much now.

    • @intellectualwino8696
      @intellectualwino8696 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I own a 2019... my milage is lower, but.... a suggestion for you. I assume you have a home L2 charger. If that's the case, you get the car home and leave it empty at near zero for at least 8-10 hours. That solves a lot of issues. This kind of stuff arises from individual cells becoming imbalanced. Letting the car sit at a low state of charge allows the battery management system to recalibrate. Then feed it a charge (not a fast charge, but a standard level 2 charge).... this may resolve many of your issues.

Can Audi developed an e-tron with higher battery range, probably yes, why dont they. Well unlike tesla audi still has petro/diesel vehicles on the market wish they are invested billions of dollars and they are not going to make those vehicles obsolete any time soon. Imagine if Audi developed an e-tron that outperformed an audi rs6, it would make the rs6 obsolete and would cost audi a bucket load.

      With your logic, how do you explain the Audi RS e-tron GT? It's faster than an RS6!

    Range below 300 miles is unacceptable and I just don’t understand why European is not bothered by such low range e car

      We have a 2015 Leaf and a Tesla Model 3 Standard range + After driving the Leaf for 3 years its a great city car.The Tesla we went from Calgary AB to Victoria BC and back(2,138 KM)1328 miles over the summer and did the trip as fast as if we were driving ICE.Car was ready to go before we were every time.Bigger battery=Higher price.

      @@MHdollrevievs You can do that with an e-tron as well. Three stops of 20, 22 and 32 minutes on the way there abetterrouteplanner.com?plan_uuid=40aae50e-95ae-4bf9-9de9-1329521d174a and four stops of 14, 21, 21 and 24 minutes going back. abetterrouteplanner.com?plan_uuid=40aae50e-95ae-4bf9-9de9-1329521d174a If you not choose to sleep somewhere with a destination charger, of course.. then you can eliminate at least one stop both ways.

      Because I guess we really don't drive that far (UK). My car has a 200 mile range and I won't go past that very often. Carrying another 200-300kg of battery doesn't make that much sense for several trips a year.
