I mean realistically people who buy suvs and crossovers don't buy them for big power and speed. Audi's interior and quality is much higher than anything from Tesla
At least you don't have to worry about oil leaks and cracking plastics in this VW.Where are the fun, fast, EV coupes? Need something simple and quick instead of these high maintenance SUV sized grocery getters.
I can easily see Audi become one of the staples in the EV game once they figure out how to match Tesla in range and performance departments. Design-wise I’d take this over a Model X if they matched in those said areas. Build quality seems excellent too !
Audi is producing perfect German premium car quality and Tesla is still a fucking rookie in the industry, which can't keep up with German quality. The Germans have a lot of experience in building premium cars, but Tesla is still making absolutely bullshit quality in its Model S and X. Also Teslas halfaken battery system in Model S and X is still overheating very easily, when you drive it really fast, like on a German Autobahn. Audi and PORSCHE will bring a new type of battery in their EVs, which doesn't have such problems at all! And that's only the beginning... Just wait and see what will happen with Tesla when all the other big boys in the car industry are coming hard with one EV after another! VW alone is currently investing more than 50 billion Euros in its new EVs for the next five years... The same goes for Audi, PORSCHE, BMW, Mercedes-Benz... At the end of 2019 Porsche will show with its new fully-electric Taycan, that it will be very difficult for Tesla to keeping up with a real EV sportscar for four persons like the Taycan, and that Tesla now has really hard competition from the best carmaker in the world! Compared to fucking awfully built Teslas, premium customers will finally see how a first class quality EV from PORSCHE looks and drives like! And the Taycan will be fucking awesome! All of PORSCHEs EV development engineers say that it drives absolutely phantastic, like no other big four door PORSCHE before they have built so far! You can imagine what this means, if the Taycan is even more dynamic than a Panamera. Everybody who will still pay the same amount of money for a fucking stupid, halfbaken and with only poor American "quality" badly built Tesla Model S as for a PORSCHE Taycan, must be very stupid!
Man I called it! Side mirrors being replaced by cameras and screens!! Can’t believe it happened so fast as is implemented in a production car. I don’t think they’re beneficial unless they have night vision capabilities
Only 204 miles EPA, really disappointing. Tesla for technology (in EV). Audi for sound dampening (the quietest of them all). Even Tesla from 2012 is faster with *much* more range... Pity that "old" companies are so behind in EV tech.
People who say that the car is slow and boring 1... it's not slow at all you just say that it's slow cuz in the car its looks kinda slow but it is absolutely not from the outside 2 it's not boring 3 408hp is a lot.. 4 now you're probably thinking... I have seen a car before wit 1200hp... 5 it's a nice car.
Why didn’t they put the mirrors screens left and right to the wheel? Left one in left a/c place, and right one in left half of middle a/c vent. That way you don’t need to turn your head and it’s even safer. Just put a/c vents other places.
I like the acceleration that EVs offer, the low center of gravity, extra storage, lack of oil, & less moving parts which should make them more reliable. Unfortunately EVs & most new cars are being made with complex computer systems and cheap plastics. I'm waiting for EVs built with long term durability & easy maintenance in mind. My dream EV would be something like the Tesla Roaster, a coupe, but affordable. I personally don't care at all for touch screens, self driving, SUVs, or tech gimmicks like electric doors.
I would really appreciate it if they would add some kind of sports mode that would add a more aggressive whining noise electric cars make. Of course it wouldn't make up for the sound internal combustion engines produce but it would make them more attractive at least for me.
Most cameras have a little bit of lag, no matter how expensive they are. So, keeping that in mind, isn't that a little dangerous to replace mirrors with cameras?
Nice but what about acceleration, handling and Autobahn test ? Range ? Its 405 Hp and you were using 50 Hp i was almost asleep by the end of the video....Price should be better than Tesla S and the Audi looks like a proper / real car...
I'll try to answer some of your questions. Range is 220 miles and its much much lower on highway speeds due to terrible drag coefficient. So honestly you are looking well below 200 miles of real range. 405hp i think it said at the start is 0-100 in about 5.7 seconds. Price should be about the same as Model X except you get less battery, less range, no supercharger network but a better built interior. Looks are subjective but the Model X looks from the future, this looks like its just yet another SUV from Audi which again, can be the look you're going for which is ok.
@@supaahflyy thanks for that. Yes agree that the Audi is better built and i think the electric cars from mainstream manufacturers will evolve quickly. When the Fluoride Ion batteries are introduced that will be the start of the end of combustion engines....
Cars too heavy, range and efficiency is awful compared to the competition. Great quality and I'm sure it's the most premium electric car you can buy at the moment. Just misses the mark, good first effort though.
This thing has 220 mile range which becomes even less on a highway. Tesla just said their Model X can now do 320 mile range and it uses less energy in highway speeds. Audi interior and quality is better but as a electric car its much worse. They have really come up short with this. They are struggling to match a 2012 Tesla in terms of range. Very disappointing.
204miles EPA. It's really weak if you compare it to Tesla. They *ALL* are so many years behind in EV tech... What Audi has going for it is noise. The best sound dampening on the market.
My 1 liter Focus has a higher top speed.. It's like Audi doesn't want to sell it in Germany. Edit: sorry, I must correct myself. This beast actually does 7 km/h more.
Why is that that the side mirrors are becoming a camera ? Like what the heck if that's gonna be broken well how could I see at the back without a side mirrors and that's the problem
So, if you see an e-tron, get away as fast as you can. The driver now has to look at and touch not only their smartphone but also all the car controls. The mirrors placed inside the doors move peripheral vision from the outside to useless inside. Looking out of the actual windows seems to get optional. I'm scared.
They are still expensive, but electricity is the right way! Soon maybe the only way ... Audi is doing well with the design, but a little better noise insulation on the wheels is not superfluous.
okay ..it's nice and relaxing but ye... I'm not the person who dont need sound from engine. After 2 mins I had to click on your RS6 video. Sorry but electric cars are not for me personally.
I dont believe these side cameras are more practical than real mirrors...
less wind noise is all i can think of. Maybe could get nightvision implemented as well. Right now just an expensive gimmick at most
@@ak-vq3js also better aero dymanic

Audi being "premium" had to come up with something again to act like they're hot shit.
@@DevasionX Mercedes Benz with their new 2020 Actros has cameras as mirrors so they are not the first.

It’s an option you can take normal mirrors

You get normal mirrors as standard equipment. Saves you roughly 1.500 bucks as well 😉

Bet they limit the initial current draw from the battery to protect its life span or something.

They software locked it to protect the battery... unlike Tesla it doesn't need to "recharge" the launch because as I said they capped it to not make the battery overheat.. But true, I like the tesla one a bit more I guess.
Who cares? 6~7 sec for SUV is more than enough. You never use it, so pointless. It's the build quality that makes the Audi stand out.
It's a heavy ass car. That said, it's not very sporty. It has decent power to weight ratio

Not trynna hate but that camera lense is annoying.
Yeah it doesn't bode well sometimes.
I don’t like those mirrors but I don’t specially hated.
That acceleration looked super boring & slow 4:25
I think it just looks slow because it’s so quiet, if you look at the speedometer it’s actually kinda fast for 2,5 tons.
A old Golf 5 GTI with 200HP gets up to 100 in the same time so it is pretty slow. But as "Audi Rs6" said it's about a ton heavier than a Golf 5 GTI.
I dont think 5.7 seconds is slow. Just my opinion
