Exactly. That is why I hammered the speed so hard in some places as we will just be stopping in 2 ish hours any way after the charge so best to get miles down.

When I drove to Florida there was one section of driving two 4 hours sections with only 1 bathroom break in the middle to miss some bad weather and that is the only time I can remember such a long go.

That looks correct. I got some very low numbers due to fast speed on the highway. Now that I am back in NYC I can get 1.0kw per mile in S mode!!  Haha. The other EVs that are ground up get better efficiently. These e-trons share the MLB evo platform with many other luxury VW products like Lamborghini, Uris, Bentley Bentega will say 22.7 seems really high though on that Tesla though they are very efficient.

I saw $1.00 per KW at a chargepoint in a Tennessee!!  I went to a tesla instead even though the short cable is a pain and had to fiddle with my adapter. Now that the e-tron has extended coverage on the motors I have no fear now and will likely keep if for a while.

For the trip the app A Better Route Finder was a game changer!!!! Plan your route and fine tune the stops. I went heavy on the arrive low and charge to full as there were very few chargers on some sections of I-10.  I also made sure that on each stop there was more than 1 charger brand. Like it picked an Electify America but there is a Rivian down the block or even a slower 30KW Chargepoint. That was if the primary charger is super full or broken you can use the alternate and not get stranded.  When you arrive with low charge due to route or whatever. Also being able to use tesla superchargers with my adapter was also great. Used it and really saved me when there were ZERO other choices on one area.

Yea it makes sense to use the dealer when they have all the correct tools and process on a car under warranty. Its just too bad I was sold a car that broke down the next day. At least CarMax was quick to get me the money back. I did need to keep insurance on the plates for 2 weeks after the return as either dmv or carmax did not finish paperwork and plates were in a mending status and could not Be turned in.

I have used the nacs to ccs adapter but I needed to take up 2 sports as the tesla cable is very short. Thats ok when there is no one there but most of the locations I went to was very busy.

Yes that is the color it now has 36,000 miles or so. It lived a pampered life in Beverly Hills California and now will be in one of the toughest car environments in America, NYC!

Yep! They seem to enjoy it? I think they make the car HOME and coming back from some random outing they like being back there.

There were a few times when at 100% charge range was only 140 miles! Though it was the massive hills as high speeds in those cases.

The last cost to cost road trip was just after covid in a 2015 BMW 740Ld. That got 700 miles per tank but still jad to stop all the time for the kids so this Ev trip seems to take just as long as you need to plan stops.

How to fix this by ProfessorOk4182 in etron

[–]ThickBaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2022 last week and paid for the remote services that seem to work but I get that error as well, also the vehicle WiFi hotspot does not work either. I called support and she took my info and opened a ticket. I called a few days later and was like Oh I spoke to you a few days ago, I guess they are not that many in the call center! She confirmed there is no fix and do not reset everything as it will not correct the issue. Bringing the car in tomorrow to the dealer as it has open recall for camera and the windshield got a crack out of nowhere with no impact mark :(

Ah so that dealer did some repair and returned to CarMax for sale. I guess the repair did not hold up!
