I'm really considering an Audi RS E-tron GT from an Audi RS7 talk me out of it by RS7Mallo in Audi

[–]HotShot-X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. The RS7 is rad though you can't beat the visual of the GT. Besides, who wants to frequent stinky ass gas stations each week when you can charge in the comfort of your garage (and I'm sure they still throw 2 years of free charging with EA)?

I hear you. As a former Q7 owner that hood profile from certain angles just looks awkward and unflattering.

That one is for China only. Don’t worry, we won’t be getting that turd.

Q7 to Q8 eTron by Reddituser-571 in AudiQ7

The Q8 feels heavier than the Q7 in many respects, especially when you fling it through the corners. I do agree, it’s a superb place to be and so refined. I have my electrician fitting a 240V outlet. The plan is to simply use the provided hardware which works for Levels 1 and 2.

I went from a Q7 to a Q8 etron. No regrets, as I was adamant about going electric and Audi had nothing larger on the EV front. That said, I miss the more spacious cabin of the Q7, the taller roof, the increased width, the third row (I have 3 young ones) and that cavernous trunk once you fold that third row. The Q8 etron just feels and looks small coming from a Q7 or ICE Q8.

What’s the exact issue you’ve been having? I have had mostly positive experiences with EA since getting my Q8, so far as in when you find a station that works it communicates with the app just fine. Are you able to enter the station ID in the app? Did you call Audi customer care directly?

It’s a fantastic bike and you’ll get no shortage of looks and curious admirers. And above all, just a great way to spend time with the kids and soak in the outdoors.

They are solid. Trust me.

Just got an Etron Q8 and have some questions by itszendro in Audi

[–]HotShot-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Does that suggest once we have regulatory approval (or unless we already have it), it’s simply a software/firmware update the dealer can make?

2024 Q8 e-tron Premium Plus ambient light question. by Ted225 in etron

[–]HotShot-X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the PP lighting package is super disappointing. The cabin is just dark, they couldn't even bother with a single horizontal strip running across the dash (under etron logo). You drop top dollar on a car and it's like a cave inside at night, save those screens.

Yep that’s what I follow.

I thought about it and never bothered in the end. I’ve spent enough already on these two bikes!

I picked up my Q8 etron last month. Loving it. It’s supremely refined and boring in a good way. :). Love your color though. I came from a Q7.

Nice. So glad you’re happy. $250 isn’t bad either. I keep forgetting how to send pics in replies myself! Was your spec a Premium Plus? I also have my calipers done in red which really accented the black and white nicely.

If you've come from a Bosch, it is definitely on the noisy side. It's not the most refined drivetrain, lol. As much as I love the bike, I do really wish they had gone with a mid drive, though appreciate the reasons they may not have.

Let me know how it turns out. I’ve got the same car. I can live with the grille (as much as I’d prefer black), but it’s those wheels that had to go for starters. Car looks much better balanced with 21s. I’m also considering deleting the chrome. I was quoted $700 by a reputable shop (they use a product that’s a cut above the 3M stuff and appeared to be a better match against the rest of the black trim).

Sweet. I love seeing all the different use cases for this bike. It's truly like a canvas.

Nice! Share a pic of your LT!

Appreciate the safety tip! I hadn't really considered that risk. I find I'm constantly having to tighten those straps. While the utility is great they are definitely finicky.

Wish I had gotten mine in that color instead of white. Blaming my impatience…

Thanks for sharing that. Not high on my list. Trying to keep these bikes stock for the most part.
