Seems a little vague with details for being "close to production". Their engineers must be on Elon time these days.

In Musk, we trust.
They talk about the design of the car. I always felt Audi cars "boring" and ugly with their massive unaesthetic grills, unklike american cars with their stylish chrome grills. AUDI EV cars have an inverted grille. To me, this grille looks more like the car is vomiting - OMG.

Was that piece directed by Michael Bay or Jerry Bruckheimer?

Not sure about those on the E-Tron.
First, I thought they might be turbofans for brake cooling, which suck air through the rims over the brake disks using centrifugal forces.
But for this to work, the rims must be closed off, but on the E-Tron they are completely open.
I don't think they are only there to look cool, so my guess is they have something to do with aerodynamics.
Yea it just looks like an Audi SUV. I remember when we only had the Model S and an EV looking like a regular car was a good thing. (It even had a fake grille!)
To me they look like part of the camouflage, and not the final design.

That's the point. EVs don't need to be alien escape pods. They can be normal beautiful cars with different fuel and instant torque. One of my favorite ways to describe the Model S to non-EV enthusiasts is that outside of all the cool tech, it's basically a normal car. That's a good thing.
Never in my life did I expect someone to use American cars as the high water mark for stylish.

I just noticed that this thread started almost three years ago, and they still haven't sold one. It's not like AUDI is a start-up with lots of scaling up problems, etc. The Model 3 development cycle seems like warp speed compared with most of the "legacy" automakers, who are still announcing that they too will have something competitive to today's Tesla in a couple of years. More of too little, too late, I think

Which is absolutely normal. You better provide some sources on this alleged (by you) vague "warp speed development cycle" to be taken seriously.

I don't expect to be taken seriously!
On the other hand, I am tired of major auto companies putting out recurring announcements of super, Tesla beating cars with wonderful specs and great prices in just two years. The problem is, at least until recently, those "two years" keep receding into the future as time goes by, while Tesla moves on ahead.
With respect to the Model 3, it is actually an interesting question as to when the development of the Model 3 began, but the time from the initial showing (as with the Audi in 2015) to production was only one year.

I'd like to see some examples of that. This thread's Audi BEV was revealed in autumn 2015 and it was stated that it would enter production in 2018 which is on schedule.
