@jhalkias @silverelan @SteelMach @timbop @RX33 @Billyk24 I'm a bit late to the party here, but I can shed a little light on the e-tron's unusual charge curve. Audi uses a "conductive adhesive" to attach their battery cells to the battery cooling system. The result is better thermal flow from...

Interesting that the Taycan estimate is so wildly conservative. ...Perhaps they aren't expecting the owners to drive it at a steady 65 mph?

If you guys are otherwise interested in the e-tron but hate the chrome more than you like $1000, there's an "optic black" trim package that removes a lot of that shine. I'm not bothered by it myself.

It's pretty darn heavy, I just bought a Premium Plus with a curb weight of 5700 lbs. That said, it doesn't feel heavy when you drive it. The CG is electric-vehicle low, the ride is very smooth, and hitting the accelerator can still push you back in the seat from a rolling start on an incline...

This is where I will repeatedly promote www.abetterrouteplanner.com Here are the numbers that they give me for an arbitrary 1140 mile* trip from the middle of Seattle to the middle of Los Angeles. If you don't like the specifics, feel free to replace the vehicles with years/trims that you...

The e-tron Premium Plus is what we got, which I think is most comparable to the MME First Edition. Each of the e-tron models is AWD with one battery option (95 kwh, software limited to 84 kwh), so they should all be compared against the MME 4x variants. In my opinion the base "premium" trim...

Did you get enough driving data before the fix to see if it had any impact on your range? If it's causing enough turbulence to be loud there's gotta be some efficiency cost, but I don't know enough to speculate whether it would be 1% or 0.01%.

Oof, that's brutal. Some of the incentives we used are definitely USA- and California-specific, so I can't help there. If you happen to be a Costco member, definitely mention that to Audi. I don't know why that partnership is worth so much to them, but it saved us close to $10,000 CAD. I'm...

I love it, but we're definitely still kicking the tires. Here are a few thoughts: - It's a lot bigger than our other car for sure, but the 360 view and projected vehicle paths in parking mode make it pretty hard to hit anything, even in our tight apartment parking slots. - The opening sunroof...

We got from about where you are to our final number by being willing to cut a check on the spot. 0% APR was never an option for the MME, so we had saved and prepared for this kind of one-time expense. If that level of purchase is a possibility for you, ask them what kind of incentives they can...

At the end of the day this post isn't to try and steal anyone way from the MME, just share my experience. I would encourage you to put the MME and anything else you're curious about into ABetterRoutePlanner and pick what suits your needs. I see the e-tron with the range to lap any Hawaiian...

I hope your car is awesome! I'll admit that hearing from the dealer that your unit (and one other) that were scheduled to come in after ours had arrived first stung a lot, but I still want as many people as possible to succeed in adopting EV's. I actually spoke to Towne today to streamline...

I love it! The only downside is trying to get a realistic picture to send to people. My fiancée and I both agree that the grayscale is boring, but we also went Grabber Blue for the MME. The dealer said that the only ones that don't sell as quickly are the Catalunya Red, which we've seen in the...

Since you seem pretty concerned over this figure, I'll let you know what we've seen if you are genuinely curious. We spend most of our time these days in a downtown area which serves maybe 10-15k people in what probably makes up roughly 5, MAYBE 10 percent of our dealership's geographical market...

We looked at the I-pace, but the shape doesn't really do it for me. I get the same vibe off the Range Rover Evoque, and I know a lot of people like both cars but I just can't get excited about them. Do you like the driving experience? How would you compare it to the MME? I hope they're both...

This is my take as well, I was happy to wait for over a year for the car, but the communication as the delivery dates approached and passed really pushed me over the edge. To this day, I still don't know why my MME was retuned to Kansas in January, what they were looking for during that QC...

I won't subject everyone to the whole package again, but I ended up $15,300 below MSRP on the e-tron. To me, the additional features (and yes, luxury perks) were worth the price hike that I actually had to pay to take it home. It's all subjective, your mileage may vary. If it does end up being...

I stand corrected, net selling price was actually slightly higher than the MME GT at $61,524. However this is for an e-tron premium plus trim in galaxy blue with some added features, at an MSRP about $2k over what you showed for the plain black. If you're willing to give up the B&O sound system...

For what it's worth, there were 7 e-trons available because they sell 60 a month at that dealer alone. Ours would have sold to another customer the morning we went to pick it up, had we not put a retainer on it the previous evening. Priced below an MME GT, the value was there for me. As I've...

It's worth going for a test drive and telling your local dealer that you're in the market for a MME, especially if you're a Costco member. We were able to save further by being ready to buy cash (fortunate to be in that position and no 0% MME offers existed, but Audi has 0% financing as well)...
