Audi e-tron

The boots are well covered with washable covers so it's working ok.

Part of the problem is that I have the dogs in the car every single day so I'd never use the GT. I now appreciate the U for utility or A for activity in SUV /SAV.

I got prices for my dad to sell Etron in Jan and Feb this year the absolute max I was offered was 40k, loads of places didn't want it at all so that's what I paid him for it, and I think the market for selling an EV has got worse since. There's only 12k KMs on it too. The cupra I'd only get 20k for it. That has 32k KMs on it.

Had a look after my earlier post, to move to a low mileage 22 GT would be 30k at least. The 21 ones have 70 and 80k kms on them, not a worry in itself but going back a year, up in KMs and to something less practical just has its drawbacks. And I'd be giving away the good deal I got on the Etron.

I have dogs, that means I probably can't have the car I want and the clean tidy house with cushions not destroyed but they're the choices I made.

I had a lucky break with the Etron, I know that so hard to give it up. The EV sceptical missus now loves the Cupra too and would kill me if I sold either and spent 30, 40, 50k on something. We've way more value of metal and batteries outside than I've ever had or she is even comfortable with.

It's a 222 reg. July 22

Owned and disliked by my retired father until Feb this year. I've put 2000 kms on it in a month

No I haven't done anything to it yet. At some stage I'll black it out and get new wheels when it needs a set of tyres. They can be made to look great. Black trim on its own without the wheel upgrade might not have a huge effect. It's probably a big enough job as there's a lot of silver trim on the entire grille. When I did it on the A6 I was delighted with the results but that was only window surrounds and the grille surrounds.

It's a sport and not S Line so it's middle of the range I think. Don't know what it offers over an advance/technik. Was a stock car so wasn't personally specced.

A 50 would do me fine but going backwards to lower range probably not something many existing EV owners would do.

Big drop from a Tesla, the Tesla is a better EV but etron would be plusher. Depends what you want really.

There's way more work in wrapping the interior of the grille than the outside of windows and outside of grille. I haven't even enquired yet. One of these notions when you get a car but then get used to it after a while

Yes, they’re remarkably tight inside for a car that’s decidedly long and wide on the outside. I’m sure most owners would have access to a second car in a household for collecting TV’s etc. though. I think I could forgive such shortcomings given it’s one of the very few stylish EV’s on the market.

They were a 2 car family but with him and the missis working from home and the odd day in the offiice they ditched her car.

Defo having a GT you would want another decent sized car, After i get sent down in October i will start looking around for another car. Missis works from home all the time so trying to convince her to get rid of her ice Skoda be another thing.

Is anyone else sick of paying the €50 a month or so for the full Matrix experience, auto High Beams isn't even standard on my 2020 Etron, something that my wifes new ID4 has, and the Q4 I'm currently driving while my Etron is in for repair.

I'd rather not either, but for want of enjoying all the features.

I Think they were advertising that for €163000 last october !

Hi All,

I got a 2023 E Tron 55, Sportback. Not cheap but a very good looking car, and comfortable, smooth and an overall nice place to be.

I went in with my eyes open regarding range and am averaging 2.3 m/kw, so about 300-350km total range, which is ok and what I expected. I rarely if ever do long journeys, most of my driving is around town or a 20km commute. I have a home charger and one available at work too so no real range anxiety.

My question is just on best practices for charging and battery and range management. I understand that I should keep between 30-80% charge.

Should I charge as infrequently as possible, i.e. leave it drop to 30% and charge to 80% each time, or is there anything wrong with charging frequently by adding 10% every now and then when it suits me?

Most of my charging is on night rates. Is charging more efficient when done in warmer temperatures or does it matter?

Should I time charge straight after a drive or just before a drive, i.e. when the battery might be warmer when it starts to charge or when I start to drive, or does it matter?

I have seen information on pre-conditioning, which I gather is just getting the AC up to temperature before starting the car, and this can be done in the MyAudi app. Does this have much benefit or is it just something to do on cold mornings rather than every journey?

Lastly, silly question but its my first EV. I can schedule the charger with my Wallbox app or use the MyAudi app to set a target. The target is currently set at 80%. Does this mean that it will automatically stop at 80% in the middle of the night even though the charging is still plugged in? If so, does leaving a charger plugged in (but not charging) have any negative impact on the battery or electricity charges etc?

Sorry for all the questions, and I appreciate any other advice. Thanks!

Have any of you ever got the attached m

essage on the app when trying to access climate control. This has never worked for me.

Tks
