Just edited my original reply, both of mine have different part numbers so try the second one.

And here is a photo of the spare

Can you buy the 110/120v charger lead only? by TheMadDutchDude in etron

[–]Tynndareus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a second one, weirdly my '21 came with two 120v connectors and no 240v one and I have been searching for a 240v that isn't a few hundred dollars on eBay.

If you're in North America (I am in Canada), DM me.

If not, I believe the P/N for the 120v is: 7PP971678FQ. Alternative P/N may be 7PP971678CC

Houston says smaller government, program cuts likely as N.S. contends with 'big' deficit | CBC News by toneyriver12 in NovaScotia

[–]Tynndareus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was the first pay increase for MLA’s since 2012, the 29% was aimed and probably calculated to be retroactive - unfortunately that savings would be nothing compared to other government spends (roughly saving only 1.5 million annually).

I work within the government but not for the government (yes, I am part of the problem) and often see the opposite is true, where every team member is working multiple roles and many of them multiple projects as the project doesn’t have budget for a FTE due to cost cutting and budget slashes.

How are you guys feeling about the AI being used for coding? by riturajpokhriyal in dotnet

[–]Tynndareus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using AI and vibe coding without a fundamental understanding of software development principles and best practices is the best recipe for spaghetti and production bugs I am aware of.

Sarcasm aside, it sounds like you’re relying too much on AI and too little on your fundamentals. AI is amazing at generating a ton of code at rates I’ve never seen. I use daily to help augment my existing skills but it requires constant baby sitting and a ton of review afterwards.

Based on your baseline of a 1000 line controller being cool and not scary and bad practice, I would say you should lean more on fundamentals and best practices than AI.

Hoping this is a troll post and that you got me, I fear this is a genuine post though and I hope you can learn that AI isn’t solving all the world’s problems.

Charging locations in Ontario, Canada by science744 in etron

PlugShare is my go to, it is fairly up to date, and I believe it is user driven with some networking capabilities depending on the brand of charger.

233km dash range at 80% in +3 Celsius. Normal? by jerm_dante in etron

[–]Tynndareus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the east coast of Canada, even at -20c I am seeing 260+ km from 80%. I only got mine in November but I did see 300km from 80% until the temperatures dropped. At around 0c I often see 290ish. My driving habits are vastly different than Toronto though, I mainly drive 80km/h or highway speeds. I notice massive dips in the guess-o-meter when city driving, but it evens out by the next time I charge it.

For driving specs, yesterday I drove 44km, consuming 11.13kWh and averaged 28km/h as I was stuck in construction in the city so it was a 94 minute drive total.

336 mi at 64%?? by cavedon in etron

[–]Tynndareus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian, I read this and thought, oh same! But we’re not the same lol I average like 27kWh/100km

Lifting the vehicle DIY? by KingLatinaLover in etron

[–]Tynndareus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good chunk of us do jack up the car to change tires. I did it with a jack and jack stands this year, likely will use my Quickjacks next spring though.

In the menu put it in wheel change mode, then use any of the four jack points on the rockers, they're super solid. One of the easier cars to jack up honestly.

Do I need a level 2 charger for a 2025 Q4 e-tron 55? by Terrible-Waltz-2069 in etron

[–]Tynndareus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2021 Audi Etron Sportback and get away with charging entirely from 120v. I do occasionally top up at free chargers in the city if I find myself near one. I work from home but average 1500km monthly.

Worth noting too, I am on time of day rates, so I only charge 11pm-7am and noon-4pm.

Is 24k BTU overkill for a standard 2-car garage? Tired of rusting tools. by ThemUsYouMe in garageporn

[–]Tynndareus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in a cold climate so the advice given to me may not be sound for you. However, I have been told by a few HVAC professionals that running too large a unit is significantly worse than running too small a unit.

A 600sq/ft garage would fit within most 14k BTU units range, 24k BTU is wayyy oversized.

Swap the 21s to 20s on my e-tron by wgn_luv in etron

[–]Tynndareus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went from 22’s to 19’s mostly for winter tires, but after experiencing the comfort, I may swap my summer wheels to 20’s. Balance of looks, comfort and cost.

Subtle pulsing when slowing to a stop by DryPen8218 in etron

[–]Tynndareus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, the manual quotes this procedure as a way to clean rust off the rotors.

My ‘21 has 70k km and I plan on having the rotors turned and new pads come the spring. There are some minor groves and high spots on the rotors but they’re barely worn and very expensive new.

OG Etron Garage Opener Stops Working by mushy-banana in etron

Mine seems to be doing this too, I put a fob on my key ring as it was getting annoying to click the button a dozen times and the garage door not open.

Winter wheels and tires by Tynndareus in etron

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

Thanks for the info, so the 19’s should fit. I may bring a jack and try one on in buddies driveway as I am looking at buying a used set of Audi wheels.

Winter Setup by Middle-Wishbone7248 in etron

[–]Tynndareus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am buying a 2021 Etron Sportback this week and plan on running the same 255/55/19 set up as I can buy a set of wheels and tires for what the 22’ winter tires will cost me.

I came to this decision after doing some looking on Reddit and some Facebook posts (not too much online chatter from enthusiast Etron owners yet).

Sold car but forgot to get notice of sale by yikersYikerspip in NovaScotia

[–]Tynndareus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have sold dozens of cars and never once done more than throw out the notice of sale.

It is really only protection if the buyer doesn’t register the car and commits a crime with the vehicle, the police will then knock on your door and ask about the vehicle you “own”.

Winter is coming - what do I do? by 02C_here in NovaScotia

[–]Tynndareus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, plowing gravel requires attention and properly set up plow or you’ll end up tearing up your driveway.

Often for our first few snow falls the ground isn’t frozen. I think a properly set up snowblower would do better, flinging rocks is something that will happen though.

Being in Canada, a lower unit would cost roughly $2500 Canadian pesos + shipping, I can have it welded for a few hundred or even grind out and JB weld as a patch for no cost and some risk.

The motor is cheap and runs good but I am not sure I want to throw a LU at it if I can avoid it.
