Who'd buy the RS e-Tron GT over a Model S?
Me!
I would audi makes the good cars
Audi, Porsche > Tesla
Yeah
I would.
Nice try Audi but remember Tesla spend £0 on marketing, £0 on advertisement and £0 on PR, that speaks volume about their brand,in a world where millions and millions are forced to make their minds up about a product through the power of media.
That is why Tesla's are like rocking horse manure around here.
The car with the stickers on too looks good 😃
Wish they offer the sticker design too
I'm sure Yianni will be able to make one for you 😂
@@chillout1109 Haha, yes
@@chillout1109 😂😂 chrome blue all over
I Heard That they are thinking of offering them because the People Loved it
Yep, I’d take it as is.
Glad to see car manufacturers who have experience in making cars adopt electric. I like Teslas but I love German luxury even more.
and also Germans have more experience on creating great interiors, and quality products.
@@TechdubberStudios they're not in terms of range and efficiency and software and hardware and infrastructure, including superchargers and the most important in batteries technology and batteries supply 😉,also tesla is starting production of its giga berlin in germany , that's porsche ,audi, mercedes territory ,germans are scared because even the Mercedes-Benz manufacturing exec did move to Tesla to work in the germany factory in Mercedes worst moment ,that shows alot😂 :

Also tesla is breaking records in china in terms of quality 😏:

That just means tesla with each new factory they're improving in terms of efficiency and quality 😉so quality problems are not a problem anymore😁.
As tesla having a factory in germany they have the facility for testing the model s plaid in Nurburgring which is beating already the taycan by alot , tesla did 7:13 elon says they can even do 7:05 which is stupid for a 4 door sedan😁.

Interesting fact: This car actually premiered in Avengers Endgame driven by Tony Stark.
with engine noises for some reason
I wondering why i was thinking i had already seen it before somewhere
Thank you for pointing it out!
RIp Tony
I know l saw it. What pissed me off was the kid shouting lamborgini behind me when he saw that car
@Force Sensitive it was actually an Audi R8 v10
Audi is absolutely amazing beautiful than any other it's my favorite car
Hell yeah! been waiting for this one! Can't wait for the review of this beauty!
For my Money the Audi wins the looks competition -- I am attracted to the Taycan however it's a bit of Toss up -- but as you say it's time for a refresh on the Tesla Model S.. although the Model S is the reason the other two are here in the first place though isn't it?
@@Metam-nl8hv Yeah I really like the Taycan as well, but I've always been an Audi fanboy - the RS6 is my 'dreamcar' so to speak. And surely I like the Model S or even the 3 and X (which ofc aren't direct competitors) a lot. I mean for the price/quality Tesla is simply so good! I'm sure there is a market for this one though!
Wouldn't say the model S is the reason the other 2 are even made...but I agree it's time to start seeing some new electric cars on the road!!
The Audi RS etron GT design is beautiful.
So is Mona Lisa, but that is the only thing the Audi has, the rest is just cosmetic appeal to ask for top $, but it has no significant substance behind the pretty face. No power, no range, no free automatic upgrading, no FSD capability, and yet another EV Audi converted from an ICE car chassis. If they drop $40.000 from its price the might sell a few, if not the Tesla Model 3 Dual motor will just destroy it, and if we pit it against the new Model S, this Audi will be totally obliterated under every single comparison parameter.
@@sat7755 Good to see Elon on youtube commenting on the competition 😅 Tbf I agree, the car is just too damn expensive, I would buy one over the Tesla though if there was less difference in price.
@@aldozilli1293 Thanks Aldo Zilli, for the compliment, I wish I was He, so to enjoy seen things and the world from a privileged perspective of the Genius he is. Are you ready? I just purchased a new Nissan Leaf, would have preferred a model 3 even the cheapest model would have pleased me, but the price difference was just too great. The car is perfect, great acceleration and a great American car soft ride, even though the car is not American but the US has been probably the greatest market for it, therefore I presume that the suspension was tuned for American likes. I will never drive another ICE car again, full electric is the way, so comfortable, friendly, no road taxes, no expensive smelly gasoline. No oil leaks, and have a gas station right in my home electric socket.
Tesla Competition EV? All of them in a bunch 7 or 8 years behind Tesla, all of them over priced, under performing and too hyped up for their substance. But the substance of a Tesla EV is not definitely there. Been in the car business all my life, I know cars. I doubt if anyone will ever be able to build a true Tesla Killer, for so far are collecting great sales flops.
@@sat7755 Well I'd say others are not far behind Tesla and catching fast but Tesla also has areas it can improve a lot on. The build quality of Tesla is now much better but still not near the quality of an Audi or Porsche, but that said at those prices you should expect it so maybe harsh on Tesla. I also hear (in this video) that the charging is a bit quicker than Tesla. Finally and importantly for people like me who appreciate exterior styling, Tesla could certainly improve in this department, they do look a bit boring compared to Audi and Porsche.
Tesla really needs to up their design game. The melted bar of soap look is terrible compared to this and the taycan
Model S stil looks dope (atleast the newer ones) but the model X and Y are just ugly
Yep and lack of features. No Matrix LED headlights, no HUDs, no mood lighting, more.
@@user-rj3qc2kx1i The Model S rear is awful, the interior styling is very out of date.
Compared to this Audi..tesla looks like a potato
@@JohnnyZenith this is my complaint. Superior drivetrain and looks good on the outside but interior is outdated and is pretty crap for the price of the top model
Really enjoy your car reviews, they are unbiased to car makes and the fact you have embraced the eventually of electric cars is a breath of fresh air. Keep making the great reviews as we the general public really appreciate them.
True, but please stop calling them Tesla killers, its just not the case as the Model S is not the car that generates profit for them.
It's not unbiased. It's starting with a free advert for the competition instead of looking at it purely on its own merits.
"Pretty big fight" Are you kidding me?! Competing with model S??? Dude by the time this car is out, it will be competing with Model S Plaid, good luck with that!!! 😃
Audi who?
Another top review by Rory. The only motoring journalist that is actually making me feel ok about a transition to electric cars. Totally agree that Governments should allow the likes of the Ferraris, Porsches and Lamborghinis sell their cars in the UK after 2030 because there is literally so few of them anyway that a little bit of perspective is needed.
Keep up the great work Rory. 👍
Donut media too.
what criteria will you set for those automakers? sell only 500 and you are ok? doesn't make sense
Pheww looks like they did not ruin the design from the Concept car. IMHO best looking new cars in recent years.
Yes because I’m a fan of Audi and the looks. But I would want the performance to outdo Tesla
Double the price for half the range? Not good enough Audi.
compare the quality
Just look at it...
Range is king
Unless you just want a toy
But if you need a daily driver then this won’t work
@@tonytony3685 how many miles I drive Day to Day? 90% people drive work and back home 50 miles a day. So explain why is the range most important?
They don‘t have the same range yet, but they charge way faster. 20 minutes for 80% battery.
the stories about tesla's support service and their fanboys are becoming a bit of a deterrent... its got looks over the Taycan. Would have been nice it it was a bit more practical, with confirmed charging advantages.
what charging advantages? those 270kW chargers are none existent yet tesla have it's own supercharger network. Google article: Why did it take nine hours to go 130 miles in our new electric Porsche?
The car stickers looks kinda like Jon Olssons' RS6 wrap, aka dooope
Tbh, I'm all in for the elec race, the elec vehicles are getting better and better and 0-60 times will be like 1 sec soon enough, just too bad they dont sound as good as combustion engines. The only thing that ruins it for me is the elec fanboys (mainly Tesla ones).
Same, I like EVs too, better for the planet but lack of noise in passenger cars is a bit too dull for me. I still like Formula E but yeah I like gas engines too. As for the fanboys damn, there are whole channels which exist to shit on anything non Tesla. One of the most toxic place on the internet- the Tesla fanboy forums. All of them are assholes who will bully you to suicide for hating on Tesla
That’s why I prefer electric in luxury/GT/daily cars, but still prefer an N/A engine for a sportscar
@@straightbusta2609 Exactly, if they lose, they'll say, "Its a sedan" or "Wait for the roadster, its only 250k and better than a Chiron"
@@straightbusta2609 Surely Rory and Autotrader is only adding fuel to the fire using the Tesla Killer click bait title then?

How unserious to build a car that will be coming out in 2021 and cannot even match the current Model S Performance
@Miga Mafiri VW ;)
Can't even match last year's or the previous year's Model S performance.
But it looks way better than the old Tesla Model S design interior and exterior, the handling is a lot better as well.
I prefer to drive a sexier car than a faster car with more range.
@@neob8366 The design of a car is objective must evreyone deside for ourselfs ^^ facts and stats not so yeah
They don’t need to match anything with Tesla ... German cars whip Tesla on looks!!! Tesla are overpriced ugly cars.
Just 2 mins into the video...the way Rory just bombards strategically with useful information is stupendous...Rory saved this channel
Worse on range, price, performance and tech, but hey, it got good looks. Now should Tesla be scared? Why is that even a question.
For now yes but tesla has been the only big ev now that more and more companies are going electric. There going to need to up their product
@@natekans2264 No. The other companies are.
@@TheDetective999Three Yes but the other companies are going ev adding more competition so tesla needs to up there product. Tesla is using old tech they haven’t had a big update since they came out. And there not affordable so ya they need to improve.
@@natekans2264 other car companies are not better than Tesla. FACTS
@@TheDetective999Three Didnt say they where i said with a more competitive market tesla needs to update.
We need a fast electric car that's affordable and can take on the Tesla model 3P for around 40-50K to move people away from petrol. 100K+ is only appealing to a very limited audience 'the rich' - A RS3E perhaps...
2:27 For context the Tesla model 3 perfomance for £56k does 0-60 in 3.1 seconds
german brand name , its also more luxurious
Someone did their homework
That's why I love American cars 🤗
Well they do offer better quality though, its not like you will be racing at every robot you get to, but you will be touching the materials and appreciating the fine finish that comes with audi over tesla
Better quality overall than any tesla
How many 270 kw Audi chargers are there in the UK?
Audi don’t do chargers. But there are apparently 40 Ionity 350kw chargers, compatible with Audis, across the UK. -RR
This is their 2nd electric car, it takes time to get the product perfect, in few years those numbers will go way up
TESLA ALL DAY EVERYDAY
Naw tesla looks plastig and ugly
@@sith1740 that’s an opinion.
@@sith1740 Drive one then you can say what ever you want. looks aren't everything.
In lord and savior Musk we trust.
Yep. Even if I have the money to buy the e-tron and knows the issues with Tesla, I will still buy a Tesla
I have always liked Audi's understated design on their sportback models - A5 and A7. This is a another looker from the four rings! I am definitely inclined towards the Germans but I will probably take the Taycan just to experience the Porsche's superior driving dynamics.
Tesla shouldn’t be scared. Tesla will announce an all new complete redesign of the Model S! This will be unveiled in 2020. Current model S crushes this car on paper. Audi only currently looks better but the Model S is 2012 design. We will have to wait and see what the new Redesign from Tesla will be
I love the look of it. If the Taycan is anything to go on then it's gonna be amazing.
I’m a big fan of Tesla but I love Audi ❤️
If they put a charging station at each dealership to start off, how many would they have?
3
Would be nice to have them at the highway though
That's kinda useless or less useful atleast. Because you want chargers for long distance trips so it needs to be near freeways
You can use the regular charging stations if you're in the UK
@@MudhaffarAdhwa not any 270kw chargers?
Panamara Estate is a beauty
It’s here even closer than I thought
Guys expect a Lamborghini 4 door EV sedan on that same platform
Well, it makes more sense than an SUV with an engine stolen from an Audi
@@danieln1813 It will still have motors (and batteries) stolen from Audi, just like this one's were stolen from Porsche. That's how VAG rolls.
lovely video as always but charging is not a architecture problem it is a battery chemistry problem
The Model S has been in production since 2012. Two thousand and Twelve! Yes, they iterate on the design many times per year but just remember how old the Model S is and it’s only NOW that Audi even have something that can “compete”. And it’s far more expensive. I mean, it’s goood... but still a long way to go.
Tesla’s are ugly though, and the quality is subpar for its price, Germans will easily dominate the segment for luxury EVs ; look at the Taycan, it’s way better than the model S lol
Maybe bring driving assistance next time into your comparison, it's a big part of what makes Tesla compelling and makes the car more future-proof
Tests in Greece??? wow... cool! 🇬🇷💙
Yes testes 🍒 in Greece
Almost as quick as m3p?
When it comes to charging whats important is this: miles charged per minute. Voltage and kwh does not matter. At all.
For that kind of money? Think i will take a model 3p and a dual motor Cybertruck
Same!
@@Cars-N-Jets very true, the Audi is down on power, range and is sandbagged by Porsche, just feels like a made to measure car that won't sell in volume.
Killer? No!!
Rival?? Maybe!!
Stop overusing the words "killer" bcoz Teslla is the assassin... Duh
Edit: haha.... The title changed 😂😂😂
@@smallhatshatethetruth7933 how does it charge faster? The tesla has 95 kwh pack and has a peak charging rate of 250 kw,so that means it can theoretically charge to full in 22.8 minutes. Assuming a 387 mile range that's almost 17 miles per minute. The audi has a 83.7 kwh pack with 270 kw peak charging rate, so that means it can theoretically charge to full in 18.6 minutes. Assuming a 250 mile range that's 13.4 miles per minute, a pretty substantial amount les. Around 20% to be exact.
@@smallhatshatethetruth7933 what do you mean by that? A car would charge faster at all times if you have a comparable kW charge capacity and a higher range
Tesla fanboys are so cringy.
@@FantastickDark2 I didn't know speaking facts is considered cringe these days.
I do like the looks of the Audi. The model S could use an exterior refresh (I believe this is coming soon) . However, Tesla are way ahead of Audi (and every other car manufacturer) on battery tech, software and charging network. Good to see legacy car makers taking electric seriously at last. They now understand that electric cars are now the future and they need to get moving to catch up to Tesla.
Already drive a Tesla, and would definitely go for the Model S Plaid.
However, we’re now getting some real choice. The Taycan has looked brilliant car since its launch, and now there’s a very compelling Audi.
Looking forward to an RS e-Tron GT hugging the rear bumper of my Tesla...well, they can try.
You’re the top reason people won’t buy a Tesla. We’re sick of Tesla drivers telling the world they’ve made the wrong decision 🤣. Your model S was designed in 2012, got a minor tweak to the front end a few years later and looks like it’ll not be updated again. Why in the name of god would someone spend money on a new one? Awful decision.
@@paddydowney6269 Are you the world? Which is your choice?
No offense if this doesn't apply to you .. but seems like Tesla Owners in general are some pretty crappy drivers and many seem to be afraid of their cars (at least in San Diego this seems to be the case) -- Maybe it's the fact that Audi and Porsche have Racing Pedigree (Tesla doesn't) and for sure Porsche has robust driving/ performance schools -- I've wondered if the Tesla EV drivers lack of sound and gearing lead to their seeming miscalculations in judging optimal acceleration smoothness and estimating braking distances I don't know what it is... but perhaps Tesla should offer a driving school and perhaps join the Formula E racing series get some racing pedigree under it's belt -- I want to see Tesla Model S vs Porsche Taycan vs Audi E-Tron on a Race track -- yeah we know Tesla is a drag racing King -- But how is it on the twisty's a tricky track like Laguna Seca or Los Angeles Mulholland Drive? Heck maybe the Porsche EV and Audi EV drivers will suck too -- can't wait to find out in comparison.
@@markplott4820 Thanks for that update very compelling stuff -- Legit - Love Randy Pobst saw him win a race in Long Beach -- Good info I'll follow up.
@@Metam-nl8hv Ha ha. No offence taken. I suppose, as a Tesla driver, I can confidently say from experience, that the Model 3 (in our case), handles mighty fine. It has its characteristics just as any car does, but a few minutes in the driving seat will see you at one with the world (and the road).
The Porsche, as we’ve found out, has been designed with creating the feel and handling of their traditional cars. The ‘serious’ driver will no doubt appreciate this, and if the pockets are deep enough, go for the Porsche over the Tesla. However, the abilities of all the cars are excellent, and are going to give a really satisfying drive, and when you factor in that the Tesla is half the price, or lower depending on relative specs, it becomes a mighty proposition. This is why we (annoyingly?) rave about our cars...we can also pack them up and do a 10,000 mile trip, with the kids in the back...on a comprehensive, dedicated, reliable, easy to use charging network. I’ll stop now.
I love cars. I really like the look of the Porsche, and will wait to see what people make of the Audi.
As for bad Tesla drivers where you are, that’s too bad. There are unfortunately loads of poor, lazy drivers on the road...driving all makes.
Yep, definitely look at the S and the 3 running Pikes Peak.
It looks so much nicer than the Tesla Model S. And the Taycan tbh.
Why did Rory leave top gear? He's a great presenter and has fantastic knowledge in his field😒
End of the day, the reason I don't own a Tesla Model S now, despite the performance and the charging network and the lead they have against all other electric cars, is that the interior is CRAP. No way I'm paying that kind of money for something that looks like it was put together in somebody's garage. A big giant touchscreen that's in no way integrated and that completely goes to crap in the heat, seats that look like they came out of an economy car, and absolutely nothing else going on inside. If I'm going to spend that kind of money, I need to feel special in there, and Tesla doesn't cut it. Audis ALWAYS have a brilliant interior.
And this is released how many years after the Tesla?
Exactly 😂 they're too late
@@relansis6962 never to late to join the market ...also you want to join the market when product is ready not like Tesla models

Why can’t any other manufacturers understand the simple formula of 300+ miles, range, competitive cost, outa software updates, good performance?
In short ‘NO’.....there maybe car that match (or even beat) the range, charging speed & performance of a Tesla, but none have the technology or a multi country super charging network and they can’t produce a million+ unit a year.
Awesome looking car. But at that price point I'd rather stick with the R8 or save a few more to get the Tycan. I dont really see the value advantage in getting this over the tesla or tycan.
Well it already looks miles better than Tesla's frumpy designs 🤣

@@dang-x3n0t1ct "style doesnt matter" Yikes
Haha, how far can it go? Probably not 400 miles bud
You shoould've measured the 0-60 times yourself. This car does it just as fast as the Taycan Turbo (2.88 seconds).
I doubt it's as fast as a taycan
Despite loving most cars that go rapidly fast one thing I can’t get my head around is how people afford them -
People lease them rather than buying them.
I would get an e-tron for sure
I’m waiting for the eTT, then probably buying a MK3.
What if they made an e-R8 or an e-R10?
@@TheJAMF I won’t be in a position to buy it.
Tesla will not be scared by this stunningly gorgeous Audi. They weren't scared by Porsche either. Tesla have the infrastructure that no car manufacturer can currently complete with.
And in 2021, Tesla will be launching their new Model S. It'll have a tarmac melting 1000 bhp too. So Tesla have nothing to worry about.
However. If Tesla could sort out the fit and finish on their cars, then all the other EV makers will have more to worry about.
In performance it's competing more with the Model 3 than the Model S
Hands up who wants a slower, less powerful car, nearly half the range and doubke the price 😅 you'd have to REALLY love Audi to fund one of these, especially considering Teslas Supercharger network
I would prefer this AUDI than Tesla.
The taycan cause I'm a porsche fanboy you know
I feel ya
Should Tesla be scared? Short answer: No. Long answer: Also No.
Definitely think it will be my first EV... So that may be saying something for Audi. I've never even given a Telsa a second look.
Before you buy an audi, test drive the model 3 performance. You will be doing yourself a favor.
@@TheDetective999Three I'm sure it probably drives well. Others have told me the same... Tesla exteriors and interiors are way too bland for me though 😣. Hell, Hondas look more attractive!
Probably sounds shallow, I know. Really not the flashy, splurging type... but pre-pandemic, spent at least 3 hrs of my day in Atlanta traffic. I refuse to spend $100-$150k on a car or truck that doesn't look or feel luxurious 🤨.
@@bankakinmola7385 There is a giant touch screen in the middle that you can play games on when you charge and watch Netflix. The interior may be bland, but the performance and touchscreen and tech isn't. Just test drive one and you will see.
@@TheDetective999Three Lol... the giant touch screen is actually one of my turn offs. Volvo has a decent implementation but generally not a fan of the look.
In the case of Tesla, looks like they just straight bolted a full size tablet on the dash. Like they came up with the idea after the rest of the interior had already been designed or something. Much prefer sleeker designs like Audi or Mercedes' implementation. Or even the new Escalade!
Negative as i am on their design team, I have a ton of respect for Musk as a visionary and business man. Fully appreciate that without Tesla, there would be ZERO EV market today.
As brilliant and forward- thinking as Musk is...so unfortunate ALL the model designs (other than the Roadster) look like they originated on the set of a low budget sci-fi film back in the 90's 🤮.
This car shares platform with Porsche Taycan
Whats the fuzz with the camouflage? The proto version was already showed years ago and the street version probably will be 97% close to that look.
Still waiting for that electric Dacia
Dacia gang
Do all electric cars have to be so large?
legacy automakers now showing that they very slow to innovate. thats the fact
People just don’t get it, an electric motor ramps up to max torque almost immediately but, the best EV doesn’t just go fast in a straight line, it goes fast for a long time around a race track.
Well done Audi ❤️
Can't wait for the drag races between the Audi RS e-tron vs. Tesla. Tesla model 3 performance. S is not even worth matching up against. Autotrader...make it interesting...and do the drag race!
It will be a "Tesla killer" like the e-tron pretended to be?
I see what you did there...
The e-Tron definitely killed the Model X in Europe.
The e-tron outsells Tesla in Europe.
I would take one of this if I have the money rather than having the taycan or the model s. It’s gorgeous tbh.

Great review, as always. Although this is not an answer to the question you asked, I would take the Lucid Air ER by choice.
One thing about the charging piece. Yeah, you may be able to charge it faster...provided that you can find a charger to do that. Tesla chargers are, in relative terms, everywhere.
Unless you live outside of the US,
Faster charging but down on range... guess we'll have to wait for ABRP to tell us with which one you travel large distances faster. (That's why charging curves with range over time makes so much sense. (Or charging at miles per hour))
Show me Audis supercharger network.
Google it.
Do they all come with the lairy pink dayglo trim and the stripey wrap? If so I cant see it affecting Tesla sales as they tend to be understated and sophisticated.That said it wont affect me as I wouldnt waste my money on any luxury electric GT car, even if I could afford one.
For range, ease of charging (supercharger network), cost, performance and smart looks the Tesla Model 3 performance is better than both of them, plus vaguely affordable.
Charging rate in kWh might be faster than the Tesla, but the real charging speed is the miles added per minute, which, when you factor in the better efficiency of the Model S means Tesla win here too.
I agree but that's not entirely fair if one car has a much better range that will obviously skew the miles per each kw charged
@@pierzing.glint1sh76 that's exactly my point.
Charge is for distance. It's not a race to consume the most energy, it's a race to add the most range in the shortest time.
@@MrGonzonator yeah true, and you'd be really lucky to find 270kw charger in UK haha

You mean Greece has no electricity? They clearly must have done all the charging times in their base before visiting Greece for the gods to bless them.
@@kuukuyankson2033 there are no charging stations. They would have to find hotels that would allow them to charge with an extension cord. I am sure that would take forever.

Beautiful car. I personally owned A5 and that experience convinced me to buy Lexus. The way Audi eats through cash after 3 years is extreme. Still if we are going electric I would buy Tesla purely because of the way VAG group cheated on disel pollution and how they undermine every initiative to create non poluting cars.
This is hilarious, nobody is catching Tesla on performance and range. Audi: let's make a car that is double the price, half the performace and range and because we will put some sport stickers on it, maybe somebody will buy it.
And like 3 times the quality. Audi have over 100 years of experience so you're not going to find unpainted or mis aligned panels.
I give you that, but when you add Tesla's charging network and the new 4860 cells I just don't see many people buying overpriced cars just for premium interiors. I guess time will tell if these 100+ years old manufactures will be able to compete with Tesla. My opinion is they will not.
Not gonna lie but this thing looks better than the Taycan or the Model S. Still prefer the Polestar's subtle, understated look though.
For that kind of money you can get the Tesla Model S Plaid when it comes out
If I had the money it would definitely be the Audi on the condition it was an estate. It just needs to be an RS6 e-Tron. Only downside at the moment is the range of EV's still isn't great for a GT car. They need to be capable of 500km comfortably on one charge so youre always stopping for a food or toilet break where you can charge rather than stopping just to charge.
Audi bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Shows a fight has no art, u use whatever means available in a battle. Might stab u before u even reach out to ur gun
Rory, with respect to charging you are thinking about things incorrectly. Instead of thinking about about time per kilowatt of energy put back into the car's battery, think about things in terms of miles of range put back into the car per minute of charging. Sure, the Audi might be able to completely recharge its battery quicker than the Model S, but, if you recharge the Model S and e-tron GT for the same about of time (enough to fully recharge the Audi's battery for instance) you will be able to drive further in the Model S with the charge that has been added to the vehicle - this is because the Model S is a significantly more efficient vehicle, requiring less energy watt hours per mile than the Audi.
Your turn bmw😘
@J B DID U SAY ABOVE THE M8?!?! damn....✨I can’t wait✨
How many will be bought?
Can't wait for you to drive it. I will wait for the Plaid Model S test drive before deciding. 👍
💯
No, Tesla should not be afraid. It’s a cool looking car, and Tesla is just starting to have competition from the Mercedes EQC, Audi eTron, the Ford Mach E, and others. It should be interesting to see how things develop.
When you've waiting for this review here weeks after watching it on carwow 💯
Audi has gone something special by keeping this electric car more normal car looking form factor with a hint of future. I think the faze from petrol and diesel cars shouldn’t look over futuristic as it’s hard to relate to these designs yet. I can’t wait to see an electric Audi RS6 the best all round car in world. Will be interesting to see what professional electric car tuners can do with tuning software and other modifications 👍⚡️
Come back years later and still can't do a better job at a better price.
Clearly not the brand that can revolutionize a field.
Really don't get the Tesla thing, yes they are quick but that is where it ends for me, the quality of a Porsche or an Audi is in a different league, my view Porsche first, Audi second. Incidentally is it true Tesla won't buy back cars they have supplied. You won't get that from either Porsche or Audi.
Tesla still have two over all of them its fueling ecosystem and it self driving capacity
Iyke Gozika Omezi And vertical integration is another moat for Tesla. The "competitors" still outsource many of their cars' components.
@@gwarlow sounds like the outsourced most of this to Porsche 😂
@@raymondsmith9936 who in turn through their stake in rimac. Allowed them to design the entire powertrain&battery systems!
Why tesla is scared, it's the legacy car makers who are afraid😁😁
Tesla isn't scared.
LOL, overpriced as F...
Luxury items are always out of reach of poor people...that's what makes them luxury!
@@colors6692 In Serbia, if your 20 year old shitbox car has engine larger than 2.0L, you pay luxury tax...
@@DashCamSerbia Same in most countries.
Lambo is also owned by VW group and some porsches have more hp than some lambos, how does this work then ? For instance the the Urus has 650 HP while the Cayenne 680
I love how by the title, you can tell who's on top!!!;)
