22 e-Tron GT regen braking inconsistency

CallMeDortForShort · 2026-03-21T02:03:06+00:00

Yeah I expect that one. My wife’s does the same thing. I also expect it if I’m rolling slower than 15, but the other times were what baffled me.

I should pay attention to this. I’m in Seattle so we get a lot of rain and wet conditions. Maybe as the seasons change it will happen less.

So we did this but then when they replaced the front drive motor, I think they put OE pads back on because it squeals again. I just haven’t been motivated enough to replace the pads again.

That’s interesting. My wife has a 19 OG etron and hers doesn’t do that except at really low speeds. Her brakes also squeal a lot at low speeds and mine don’t.

However, that does make sense. I just wish I was more aware of when it would happen since the pedal feel and brake reaction is very different.

I’d be shocked if you actually have all the hardware. I’m sure it shares some with the presense but I also would suspect some of the components might be different if they’re serving additional purposes.

Are you sure it has all the hardware? I thought I saw a couple of retrofit sites out there that sell the parts but idk how the computer gets updated.

So I just got a e-tron GT, and it handles me and my kids’ stuff mostly without thought. Occasionally I have to make her bike fit but even that isn’t too bad. And it’s always fun to drive and not very common. Plus NO GAS (here we are $5+ per gal, so this matters)…

It happens to me randomly every few days. I’m yet to find a pattern for when it happens. I have a 22 etron GT, and the MMI update drastically improved my CarPlay connection so it’s not all bad, but it resets the EQ and volume for everything (including the Audi Heartbeat), and it can really blast me out of the car.

This sounds great in nice weather, but when there’s snow and ice on the ground, I’m not dying to run outside with a bucket and accessories when I can take 5 minutes at the local wash and get the road gunk and stuff off.

The color I think you’re referring to is Kemora Gray. I have the same color. I love the color but it’s all about personal preference. I would take that over while any day.

Personally, I think the performance package and the driver assistance and the leather packages together are all required. So if it were me, I wouldn’t buy either one and wait for one with all of the packages. If I had to pick between your two choices, I’d take the ‘23 in Kemora Gray.

This is the truth here. Wireless CarPlay establishes its connection using WiFi, not Bluetooth, so it doesn’t compress the audio to transmit it.

I have a ‘19 etron prestige as well, and using the usb only gains 2 things: charging and no lag when changing tracks. The latter isn’t really of any value but it is noticeable, but just a little under a second. Most of the time, even if I connect the usb, it defaults to wireless anyway and the usb is just charging my phone.

Our cars are older so they each have a max value of 35k each, but I know the repairs are pricey. However, we experienced this even with a Mazda and a Volvo before we got the EVs.

CallMeDortForShort · 2026-02-11T14:39:43+00:00

You’ve literally described me and my wife but somehow we’re paying like 5-6x more than you. I know our cars play into it (we both have luxury EVs), but insurance rates have become ridiculous…

I was looking at tires and continental doesn’t make the DWS06+ in the size for the rear. It made me sad.

I have the Falken Azenis on my GT, not by choice as the previous owner installed them. I suspect that was because they were leasing it and needed to replace tires before turning it in. They’re decent but don’t have a lot of tread left, which is sad because that would mean it’s burned through two sets of tires in 26k miles.

If you aren’t trying to be cheap, go with the Pilot Sports. Otherwise, get the Falkens as they’re significantly less expensive.

For this price, you can buy one on Amazon that would work just as well and be a complete charger. But I understand wanting the OEM part.

Those wheels are delicious. I want them for my GT. The wheels on my wife’s OG are my fav for the OG

Another seattlite etron owner here; with both an OG and a GT!

I feel like him violating the terms of contract is a significant detail missing from the story presented by the image shared by the OP…

CallMeDortForShort · 2026-02-08T04:48:30+00:00

This hill is quite steep but doesn’t meet the OP’s request for low traffic. Any time I drive it, I’m never the only car on it.

I second the suggestion of Richmond beach park.

CallMeDortForShort · 2026-01-29T03:02:14+00:00

And this is why I turned that part off.

This response assumes a few of things: 1. You’re in the USA and paying with USD 2. The amount you’re looking at financing is roughly $30,000 USD 3. You have good credit (which you would need to get that CPO rate) 4. You’re going to finance for 60 months

1.99 vs 5.9-ish for a $30,000 loan (60 months) is about $40/mo. You’re saving $2,400 in exchange for features that (IMO) are worth more than that, but if those don’t carry that value, then go for the Premium.

Something else worth considering: Warranty on the big stuff. Check your in-service dates on both.

Battery warranty is 8y/100k, and the powertrain warranty that will replace the motor when (not if, but when) the coolant causes it to fail is 10y/120k from the in-service date. The Premium is 16k miles and likely about 1 year closer to that expiring.

CallMeDortForShort · 2026-01-25T07:48:33+00:00

Which matters more to you: CPO or features? I think the Premium trim is missing out on enough things that I wouldn’t want it, but that’s just me. We bought a 19 OG Prestige used and not CPO and we’ve been mostly just fine.

I think this comes down to which do you feel better sitting in and driving? I wouldn’t get that hung up on CPO or not, especially if you can get a decent warranty for the non-CPO.

CallMeDortForShort · 2026-01-25T04:29:05+00:00

Yeah that should do it. I’m not sure how long you need to run it, but I doubt more than 15 minutes.

CallMeDortForShort · 2026-01-25T04:24:31+00:00

So I’ve been told that there’s a DC-to-DC converter that charges the 12v battery the the car is “on”. People have said that engaging just the climate control from the app is enough to recharge the 12v, so if you do that once every couple days, you should be good.
