It's you.

Audi E-Tron GT is entering production. Looks really great.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Give it a try and take the Guinness world record.

Does it make sense to store it in a safe? I mean it takes some time to unlock it and grab it in a street shootout.

Audi released some photos for the E-Tron GT production version:

It's not a big secret that it is a station wagon version of the Taycan, it's even on their official website. ;) Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo - Porsche E-Performance - Unternehmen - Porsche Österreich

It comes with some really cool stuff that Tesla isn't offering like Matrix LED Headlights, AR HUD, Apple Carplay or ID Light. It is also offering OTA and "FSD" with the latest MobilEye stuff is probably more or less the same on the ID4 as at Tesla, at least here in Europe.

VW is already selling their sub-25k€ car quite successfully, the VW E-Up.

Probably the last month of Tesla being the best selling EV in Europe. ID3 seems to be dominating sales in September. We have to wait for sales data, except in Norway with their real time stats:

30,000 1st Editions sold out in 8 hours. 2000 of those for US market.

Guys at Largus (french publication) tested the ID3 58kWh on highway (130km/h) and regional roads (different speeds) the results were very good beating the model 3 SR+ by a large margin. It's also interesting to note that the ID3 has lower consumption than the small e-up! The numbers for some...

1st Edition Sold Out already.

Central Europe is pretty good. Lot's of IONITY 350kW chargers to go basically anywhere. Plus Fastned and many other providers...

True, but not on Autopilot, as it only works at up to 150km/h. ;)

Sure, but it's not always a priority if you want to just zip from Dortmund to Cologne or something (94km).

1. In my country (Italy) it is included in the "Tour" assistent systems package. 2. I guess so, the car on the photo I found on the internet has those in the US. 3. A7, A6, A8, some of the Q SUV models..., Audi E-Tron...

They are selling tons of ID3 over here in Europe. I am sure ID4 will be the same or even more, and they have some huge ships to ship them to the US by the thousands: VW uses low-emission freight ship to transport cars | This is Money Norway deliveries this month: Registreringer av nye elbiler i...

It's no problem because it works really well. You get used to it. Audi comes with 2x LIDAR sensors, radar, cameras, latest MobilEye tech and whatnot on some of their latest cars. It's really good even at fast speeds.

It's not just me who noticed this. Tesla cars going slow on the Autobahn have become a running gag in Germany. Tesla fahren und auf der Autobahn schleichen? - Model 3 - Allgemeine Themen • Tesla Model 3 - Elektroauto Forum "Ich hab da mal eine Frage: gestern ist mir wieder einer diese ominösen...

When I drive in Germany I see most Tesla driving in the right lane behind some trucks to maximize range. Fastest driving cars seem to be Audi/BMW/Mercedes station wagons with diesel engine. Not sure if "advanced autopilot" is really needed or wanted in Germany for Autobahn driving. Also most...

4kWh on the mid range model tested. 58kWh net, 62kWh gross.

BMW i3 is 7 years old, but sales are still growing. They even had to increase production this year: BMW i3: Production is increased due to high demand

Not sure about Model 3, but Audi E-Tron, Polestar 2 and Mercedes EQC definitely had an impact on S/X sales in Norway. Audi E-Tron is outselling Model S/X combined 14 to 1 in Norway for the year.

They added the "Premium" trim for sale in the US. It hasn't been available yet. Also, they enable more usable battery from the current E-Tron's 83.6 kwh to 86.5 kwh.

Very good charging. Still 22kW at 98% (IONITY charger).

Looks like VW iD3 is the top seller for September. Audi E-Tron still #1 for the year 2020. Wonder if ID3 will still outsell Audi E-Tron this year although deliveries only started a few days ago. From: https://elbilstatistikk.no/

2021 Volkswagen ID.4 interior revealed: price, specs and release date | carwow

There is a new preview for the ID4 in the German web magazine stern.de with an interesting quote from VW CEO Ralf Brandstätter where he directly references Tesla. He says that the ID.4 has 6 cm more interior space than the Tesla Model Y despite the car being 19 cm shorter. Source: Verfolgerduell

ID4 interior revealed:

Skoda sells quite well in all of western Europe, even in Germany they have 6% market share, better than Toyota, Renault, Fiat or Volvo. They sell around 1.25 million cars per year, about twice as much as Volvo.

Seriuosly considering Audi Q4 E-Tron since Skoda showed off their version of the ID4 a few days ago. iV60 (390km WLTP) 39490 iV80 (510km WLTP) 45990 all in € including VAT (22% in Italy). For comparison: Tesla Model 3 Standard Range (409km WLTP): 49500 in Italy.

It is CCS, so it can use Electrify America "supercharger network" or Ionity in Europe or any other CCS charger.

August 2020 numbers: Audi E-Tron: 755 Mercedes EQC: 595 VW E-Golf: 511 Tesla Model 3: 264 Mercedes EQC has overtaken Tesla Model 3 for 2020 (2137 EQC vs 2081 M3) in Norway .

I found the performance quite alright for a huge SUV. Acceleration is on par with a BMW 530i or Audi A6 45 TDI which are no slow cars.

What test drive was this? They always give you this Audi charger card that works on all chargers and where Ionity price is 0.30€/kWh. Tarife - Audi DE - DCS Got the E-Tron for an extensive test drive friday to monday with free charging from an Audi dealership. I am a good Audi customer though...

You don't need to discharge them. You need to make sure that all cells have about the same voltage. Can be full, nominal voltage or empty, doesn't matter. But roughly the same voltage (+-0.05V). Otherwise the higher voltage cell discharges rapidly into the lower voltage cells upon connecting and...

Are you sure you know what you are doing? 60V / 26Ah is a huge pack, 1.56kWh of energy. If you want 60V nominal voltage, that's 17 cells in series. 26Ah will require 10 cells (for example 2600mAh Samsungs: Samsung ICR18650-26H - 2600mAh, 3,6V - 3,7V ungeschützt | akkuteile.de) in parallel...
