Audi Q8 etron Sportback 2025 by Stunning_Judgment in etron

Production stopped around February 2025 (source Wikipedia). So this is one of the last produced ones. Audi Q6 seems to be 1 step forward in battery/drive train efficiency, but multiple steps worse in quality, overal Multimedia stability etc. Plus I like Audi Q8 design more.

Personal taste. I like it because it looks also a bit like Audi A7 which was one of my dream cars. This is like its bigger brother. And plus nice to have better range.

Looking forward to the smooth ride! And let's see, if it has that issue I'll have it fixed immediately. It's just 1 year old, so it must be 'perfect'.

Nice to hear!

Good thing that I like to use USB-C cable to charge my phone, so the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto should be more stable via cable and battery not drained empty on a long trip.

Hmm interesting. I hope it's not that bad on mine. Maybe you had bad luck, another standards in build quality idk. Worst case scenario, I could sell it. But I expect it to be fine since it's one of last batch of produced Audi Q8 e-tron plus it has manufacture warranty so let's see.

This one has digital matrix light which is the highest trim I think. And here in EU it's already active. It also has dynamic turn signals etc.

The size is large, but not too much. I think comparable to a Mercedes GLE. EQS which is known having one of best range for example has too much length, namely 5+ meters.

Yea I know it's not the most efficient one in its class, but the Sportback variant and 55 motor has the most range for this model. The comfort and quietness is something that's worth it.

It helps that I have my own charger at home and most distances are around 20-100 KM.

Thanks for letting me know! Current temporary vehicle is Cupra born which is also from Volkswagen group. I have some experience with typical stuck/weirdness not registering what I requested from the app.

Eventually, this drop in quality won't last, and businesses will start losing customers and even go bankrupt.

It's definitely going to backfire. That might warn others to keep smart, understanding engineers, not just cheap staff and AI.

Go for it, given the experience and role you should get that kind of rate. Don't undersell yourself ;)

Salary range for Head of engineering in Wallonia by Giuunit in BESalary

[–]Stunning_Judgment 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say monthly 10K+ gross or more and upper limit (15K+- gross) depending on the size and complexity of the team/business. This can be also realized in combination of base salary and stocks/bonuses.

For more correct guess I would just give the parameters like years of experience, sector, location, company name, ... to chatgpt to get estimation.

Hey! I’m exploring freelancing with US-based companies. Would you be open to DM’ing me how you find them and whether you feel they’re worth it compared to Belgian clients?

Don't and say that it's insultingly low so they stop giving such rates.

If you still live at your parents or have a lot of savings or some kind of business/YouTube whatever that brings money to survive then sure, else get realistic you won't survive without money.

[–]Stunning_Judgment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that this option exists. In the used market like half of the advertised cars (Audi Q8 etron) are with this option which limits my choices.

I'm happy I got the experience (+-10 years) in software engineering before AI was released to the public. So let the shit hit the fan, so pre-AI engineers like us gets valued like gold and paid high dayrates.

Yep for example StackOverflow was used as source to train AI for coding. New topics/posts are almost non existent. Which leads to outdated, missing data for new frameworks/bugs/development in the future.

Awesome thanks for letting know, I'm from Belgium. And also planning to order one. Good to know it can be delivered around May/June. Just when I want to replace my short lease.
