I've also seen the e-Tron already, but I guess it all comes down to personal preference. I liked the interior and the screens.
As example, I almost never use the big screen in my Tesla. The navigation is (still) *sugar* and so is the media player. So, why do I need a 17" screen? I am almost always listening to the same radio station so it doesnt really matter if the screen is 2" or 10" or 20".
The same goes for the navigation system. It is still trying to navigate over roads that are closed (road blocks/works), so I cant trust it. I am using Waze on my phone and the e-Tron has CarPlay, so I can just use waze on this screen, works pretty great.
So why do I need the big 17" screen?
It's also not about the clean "interior" or like Tesla people say "whoah buttons". Tesla people dont get this, but it's also about the options. The e-Tron is silent inside, double glass, e-Tron has massage seats, e-Tron has 360 topview, e-Tron has way better sound (I heard it!), e-Tron has way better seats, e-Tron has CarPlay + Waze, etc, etc.
I dont get why the e-Tron is so expensive in Switzerland: in the Netherlands the e-Tron starts at €84.100 and will be ~€98.000 fully equipped (
Audi e-tron > e-tron > Home > Audi Nederland). A S 70D starts at ~€90.000 and will be €99.000 with autopilot upgrade. So the e-Tron is less expensive than the S 70D and (way) cheaper than the Model X.
And like I said, it all comes down to personal preference. I expect top notch service, when something is broken I want it to be replaced asap, maybe even next day. I waited over 7 months for a new battery heater for my Tesla while I couldnt charge in sub-zero temperatures. I am now waiting over 6 months for some other parts. Thats what not I expect when buying a €130.000 car.
Same goes for the range. Yes, the range is not great -expected atleast 450km wltp-, but the charging speed is and according to
eCalc - evCalc - independent Range and Efficiency Calculator for Electric Vehicles/Cars (EV's) with Benchmarking, the e-Tron will be a faster road-trip vehicle.
IONITY EU is gaining speed the last weeks and I expect them to have atleast 100-150 stations by next year: for me, thats enough, my long distance trips are only for skiing (the Netherlands => Austria) and thats already possible with IONITY + FastNed (
Fastned): so again; personal.
So meh: I know this is a Tesla forum and I really enjoyed my P85 and now 90D (both over 175.000km!), but both cars have their positives and negatives. I dont care that the car is derived from an ICE platform. I dont care about the efficiency (as do most Tesla S/X owners, otherwise they should have bought an Leaf/IONIQ). I care about the charging speed and how long it takes to get to the destination. And I bet the e-Tron will be faster because of their 150kW charging speed (0-80% with no tapering!).
I also dont really care about Tesla: I am not linked to a brand. I just want the best possible EV for my uses (with the best price). I want the world to have more EVs and I dont care if thats a Tesla, Audi or more Leafs.
The only thing that is holding me back is the autopilot platform. Tesla did a great job and Audi is providing zero information so I bet Audi doesnt have anything comparable.
