From main thread - maybe useful in fighting FUD or convincing someone to go with Tesla:
Audi etron owners are disappointed, as usual, media doesn’t want to bash their paying advertisers:
Audi e-tron Owner May Wish He'd Chosen A Tesla Due To Charging Issues
Here’s a link to the audi forum with first hand experience in etron failures:
Charging Failure - AudiWorld Forums
Parts take 4 weeks to replace.
Road Trip Aborted - Disappointing - AudiWorld Forums
Their customers are relying on PlugShare charging rate of 20 miles per hour.
Locked charge port door solution and another terrible holiday trip failure by Audi/EA - AudiWorld Forums
No wonder etron sales have been low, their customers still suffer from major range anxiety, this one is waiting for the Taycan lol.
Waiting for the Taycan because the e-tron's EPA sucks? The wait is over! - AudiWorld Forums
Audi’s battery degradation problems:
Car suddenly has half the normal range - AudiWorld Forums
The day I started using the a/c it chopped the range in half.
Instant range disappearance, battery modules? - AudiWorld Forums
More battery problems.
gradual loss of range - AudiWorld Forums
We've had our e-Tron (Edition One) for over 6 months now. Initially range was fine - pretty near the advertised 200ish mile range - and pretty consistent. Over the last month or two we've seen range gradually go lower and it is now ~30% less than when new. Driving style is the same - split between freeway usage (but not long distances) and around town (low/mid speeds). The primary change has been the weather is colder. We are in Northern California, so it's not that cold.
No over the air updates?
Over-the-air updates? - AudiWorld Forums
There are no over the air software updates. Only map updates. The rumor mill indeed said there will be some additional features available if you pay for them that would get activated over the air. No idea when those are going live.
No OTA updates except Maps, no additional function purchases even though it was supposed to launch mid 2019. MMI is buggy as hell and Audi in the US can’t answer when a software update will be available nor do they have any clue what you’re talking about when asking for a launch date on additional functions.
Maybe they should’ve hidden the damn purchases menu until it was ready to launch. I’ve complained to the dealer and Audi of America multiple times over all the issues and they just try and blame each other. They’re living under a rock!
lots of Bugs in Audi software and looks confusing:
MMI Software Version - AudiWorld Forums
Given the number of issues people are experiencing with MMI buggyness I thought this could be a good place to post our software versions. If versions are different then it's time to go to the dealer and demand a software update
