The improved e-Tron should be fantastic.

The quote wasn't Bush, though...

Huh - I thought for sure Bush 41 had that slogan on his desk... maybe after Carville coined the phrase and was hitting him over the head with it?

I think it was famously associated with Clinton. I forgot that Carville actually came up with it. I hate thinking how long ago that was...

That is a pretty drastic increase in range, good on them, and great for the EV market overall.

We'll just have to see if it's a REAL 373 miles.

That 373 miles range will certainly be terrific, if it actually happens.

If so, I will be seriously jealous. But, just like I learned with calculators and then again with computers, you can spend a long time waiting, if you’re always waiting for the next big improvement.

Even if it only gets 325 in the real world, that at least makes it competetive with the market. Maybe they won't have to discount them by $20,000 any more.

I thought it was WLTP, so minus 25% would come closer to EPA, near 300 miles I guess.

Oh, yes you are right! Nonetheless, 300ish miles is good enough for 2022
