Audi e-tron 55 Black Edition range test 

From all this points its amazing, but the range still sucks

@@naaspam1185 ?!? Was same time like the 2016 model X 🤣

@@naaspam1185 sorry but you missed the point. In the end the e tron 1000km cost much more because of the higher consumption even higher than my taycan. I had an e tron and it is using just too much kwh. You compared a naked etron price with the X price, my etron was 118k€. An x or s on V3 still was giving max 150kWh so no change there at all. In the end its about efficiency and there the etron is pretty pretty bad. And to be honest to charge every 150km was really disturbing because in germany with a bit higher speed the etron didnt do more than 220-250km on a full charge if you drove 130-180km/h. My taycan is a good option but my wife got a model y now and that she is doing 300km in 2h 20min and arriving with 15% is pretty stunning for the huge car. I love audi and the etron, asap its not so thursty its mine again.

@@naaspam1185 yeah most all german cars are cheap in the US we have nothing under 60cents € for 1 kWh. Some fast charger are 79cents ;-) In norway it is also arround this prices, even tesla supercharger are now 46-49cents…

I really hope audi/VAG/Porsche will step up their game with the new infotainment that is supposed to come on the PPE platform cars (First from Audi and Porsche, Q6 e tron and Electric Macan) And Audi is also starting some partnerships to add 5g to their cars, which has a lot of potential.

Awesome. How did you like it? In Germany you can’t order it anymore because of chip shortage and BAFA Prämie (Subventions) and it will arrive in June hopefully at dealers.

@@Basketballbayern The quality and over all feeling is amazing. I would go so far to say that the Megane will be one of the most important car in Europe for a long time. It blows the ID3 out of the water. Infotainment as snappy as Tesla. And still 100 000Sek cheeper than the 60kwh SR+, OK Tesla is Tesla, but this will definitely be the second runner upp in the category.

I think that's a very interesting option, looks great in videos I have seen

I like the design. Especially the interior

@@williamerazo3921 Yes amazing. Even the lower trim level was super nice, and even the stereo at mid-level trim for about 480 000Sek was super.

All doors without frame around the glass sound bad against a door/window with a frame

Nope. Check out BMW i4.

@@bjornnyland had an Audi Q8 and the doors sounded really bad against the A6 i had before.. i will try one day the i4 thank you, keep on doing the best tests out there in the youtube world

@@Elektroauto1984 my 2022 Model Y sounds really solid. And I’m a die hard Audi/VW fan. I love the thud of closing the doors. But no complaints with my Tesla.

Listen to this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9stwF9-5mBM.html The BMW iX (framless) sounds very cheap. Whereas Model 3 (framless also, but way lower price) sounds way more premium than the iX.

Me either...the results in this test were quite respectable really?

Maybe the Volvo was just barely better. But at least the other cars I mentioned were better. I was thinking about the 90 km/h test.

@@bjornnyland yea fair. As an etron owner I know all too well how thirsty this thing is and maybe getting too excited at the increased range of the 55 in cold conditions vs 55 in warm conditions (almost identical results).

:) if you drive the e-tron than you should know, the little grean types under the driving D :) there you can read effeciency. No change of this mode even if you park it over a week. Besides nearly no difference in consumption between dynamic (without Boost) and efficency if you turn AC to „Eco“. Do you feel a difference between the old and new charging curve? I think the 2-3 minutes between them are not noticeable in real driving.

@@matthiasmuller5173 i drive an etron and if you press Efficiency after every car startup, you get an E instead of D … whatever this might help in consumption The new charging curve will last 4-5 Minutes longer from 5-80% … if you charge up to 100% the gap gets bigger as the throttling is even higher up there

@@christianweigl4467 It help „nothing“ it only shows you „D“ is selected. Program is the same, no change of the mode. I think other circumstances has much more influence than the change of the charging curve. Perhaps my e-tron (MJ 21) has the better one, i do not know, i love how the car charges.

HPC = High Power Charger HPC-chargers = High Power Charger Chargers Just like "LCD display" and "VIN number" :P

Haha, i know👍 But not everyone watching you videos are familiar with all the therms, hence I chose to add «chargers» to make it obvious what i meant. By the way, it’s probably better to say «thank you for your information» than trying to make your followers look stupid. Just a piece of advice😉

Black Edition means that the Audi logos and all other chrome parts are black, nothing more. You can get this in any color you want.

Your i3 will fit in the trunk of the fat e-tron 🤣

LInk to Google doc? ☺

Yes

to be fair in the BMW ix the crystal controls are just as bad. Piano black and reflective surfaces in cars is just a bad trend.

Crystal controls? You mean the diamonds, right?

@@bjornnyland yes I think theyre the same thing

The E-Tron has had orange callipers since it came out in 2018. Earlier than any Polestars.

370 km

@@bjornnyland I wonder if the new Q6 etron have the same battery as Q4/old etron or if we also get the new 3.0 software released for ID4 with many new features. I cant preheat my battery and after a day at Norefjell charging at Sokna i usually get 25-40 kwh of charging in -10 :( A good thing Cafe Rustad is at there for some good food

I am waiting and still no review or a sneak peek anywhwre

I couldn’t care less. I drive the Model 3 LR, but the Etron is so much more car. It’s massive, the comfort is insane! For the right price I would swap the car. My LR Model 3 is getting just 300km a lot of time. But it doesn’t matter. When will I drive 300km in one day? Only during holidays. The rest of the year 200km range is more than enough.

If you change to different rims and more efficient tires you get 10-15% more range without problems at same circumstances.

I drive an Audi. I have the right to hug the left lane.

Incorrect. Black Edition starts at 760k: www.audi.no/no/web/no/bilmodeller/audi-tron/audi-e-tron/kampanje.html

Actually I prefer IONITY over Tesla superchargers when I drive from Netherlands to Italy. IONITY is right along the highway. Tesla Superchargers are a bit further away. Also a lot of V2 during last year, you just get 65-70kW.

@@theinsiders4561 like the ones that have plenty free stalls. And that i can see in my satnav in advance how many free stalls. Indeed, sometimes a bit further away from the highway, but placed at decent locations where you can get a propper meal instead of highway junkfood.

@@ARPost-kn2jl first of all, I don’t want to eat every 2-3 hours. But also the location of superchargers in Germany isn’t always as great as you say. We were at a closed shopping mall (Sunday). Just nothing to do, not even a toilet. Last summer, the worst was a supercharger 10 minutes off the route. Than navigation sent us through the city and it took us another 20 minutes to get back on the highway. 30 minutes lost, only because of the location of the supercharger. I know, this is not usually the case, but at this moment we were done and only took IONITY for the rest of the trip home. I felt so much faster, because it’s just at the gas station next to the highway. Also we came to Melegnano Supercharger near Milano. The Ibis hotel is permanently closed. So one time we charged without problems. Only nothing to do there, no food or bathrooms, but the next time someone closed the gate. So no access to the supercharger with only 7% soc left and 39 degrees Celsius. It was NOT funny Also I can use our company’s charging card, while superchargers I can only use my own credit card. Still need to process all my charging sessions of 2020 and 2021. But when I know a SuC is good, I sometimes prefer superchargers. Like supercharger Hilden, Germany. If you’ve never been there before, visit it! It’s great! So it really depends.

@@ARPost-kn2jl but superchargers are definitely no reason for me anymore to stick with Tesla. This was my first but also my last Tesla. Mine has 11% battery degradation, confirmed by Tesla, but they just won’t fix it because it’s not at 30% yet. I’m very angry with the service department. Also built quality doesn’t meet Audi or Volvo’s standard.

@@theinsiders4561 still the best overall evs out there. Not perfect cars nor service indeed. But just wait a few years to see how bad vw and other brands and degradation are. Then we can really compare.

And Tesla is basically the only EV maker that you can get a new EV this year. People are getting new Model YPs within 30 days.

@@miami3863 Tesla is also the only car brand that I know of, where engineering stands above marketing. That's the spirit our German manufacturers lost some time ago... (I'm German) So just out of respect for good engineering, if I have the money, I would totally buy the model 3!
