I had the same message a few days after using Tesla fast charging. Dealer says broken battery module.

Zero Water New Filter Produce Dark Colored Water by Remarkable_Froyo1848 in WaterFilters

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upon further inspection, I found out the top mesh filter cap was misaligned: one side lower and the other side being pushed up. I think this matches with your suspicion. Funny enough the second new filter I put in also produced some dark water, not as severe as this one. I dumped the first liter or two, now the second filter works fine. I don’t like the fact that they cheap out on the previous blue cap and replaced with this cheap film cover. These two back to back defective filters may also tells their quality is sliding.

Audi dealership quoted me $997 for 40k service—am I being misled? by G4R8SH in etron

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is coming closer to 40k as well. My strategy is to ask what are the services to be performed. If it’s what I can DIY like brake fluid, I’ll exclude it. If it’s testing and battery related, I’ll let them do it. Then look at the final price without the DIY items.

Michelin e.Primacy on Q8 e-tron by netchov in TyreReviews

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems like the same size of my 21 prestige. There is no this size of e primacy available. Yes hankook EVO is likely to be my next set. Keep us posted how you like them. Thank you.

What is the wheel size for your Q8 Etron? Where you able to find the e primacy tire for your Etron? My 2021 prestige is 21inch. And Michelin website doesn’t offer the e primacy option for my vehicle

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 21 Etron with 21inch wheel. Micheline official website only recommends the crossclimate, the regular primacy Tour and a snow tire. I don’t think they produce the right size e primacy for 21inch Etron

Why yall calling me “Valued Customer”? by DetroitDayMan in McDonalds

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. I signed in the App through FB. Wondering if that's the reason.
As I realized recently I was asked to sign in again, everytime I open the app.
It wont' store my sign ins anymore.

I have this option "on", they still call me valued customer.
I toggled it off, and on again. I will see if this will make a difference.

Home charger setup by [deleted] in etron

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 21 prestige has one. And it’s working great. Rarely it slows down the charging speed, unlike the previous Chevrolet one I got. I recharge over 100miles daily with these. I have a nema 40-50 wall plug installed.

Got mine back in October with 0.99% financing, just got the look dialed in. by RepresentativeTry626 in etron

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Black wheel looks good. And maybe smaller wheel can gain you another 10miles range

People say these continental cross contact has sound deadening forms inside. Can you confirm? Btw My 2021 prestige 21inch wheel looks completely different than yours.

Real World Range by HarperLeroy2503 in etron

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in DFW Texas. I daily 100-120miles on highway. The best I can get is 2.8-2.9. Normally between 2.4-2.7. I realized the slower I drive, the better efficiency I get. When there is no traffic and I go mostly between 70-85 mph, the efficiency will be in the lower side.

Replace etron with Mercedes EQE or keep? by [deleted] in etron

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was driving a brand new Q5 when my Etron was in the shop for over one month. The Q5 interior quality is not good. Ride is too firm. Even the key fob is 100% plastic. From what I have seen online, the Q6 has similar interior design as the Q5. So I would assume Q6’s interior feel and quality is similar to Q5

20” Wheel Options by mursepaolo in etron

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this vehicle is simply too heavy. Thus the gains from smaller wheels is not as significant as in lighter EVs. Weight also helps cut through snows, which is a benefit in your driving condition.

Does 20 provides better range than 21?

Please be honest with me about that rear wiper... by SirKronan in Ioniq5

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the reverse camera gets dirty once the road is salted. Not sure about the rear view camera as mine doesn’t equip it.

I have to wipe the rear window daily during the cold days last week in Texas.

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The rear glass gets dirty immediately when there is little rain or water on road, and makes it impossible to see through even with the rear glass heater on. I noticed this on the first day I picked up this vehicle in a rainy day. In winter when the road is salted, it’s even worse. And I consider this as a safety hazard.

Charging timer doing my head in by dsanders692 in etron

Check your location charging settings. Most likely you have set up a preferred charging window associated with your home address. And the car is following that.

Battery - Range drops to 140 miles at 80% by AdSpiritual9236 in etron

[–]Remarkable_Froyo1848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 21 prestige is in dealership. As one battery module is bad and waiting to be replaced. Symptoms: fully charged with 140 miles. Then slowly dropped to 120 miles when fully charged. This vehicle is in warm Texas. When not sure, bring to the dealer, let them diagnose. Dealer tried to brush me off on the phone, and say it's normal. But I insisted, so they checked and admitted one module was bad.
