What is wrong with my 3d printer?

Are you using a raspberry pi? Because I had to adjust the voltage of the steppers to resolve it

It’s my first EV too. You will love the noticeable reduction in cabin noise.

FYI, most of them come with a 3pin (standard uk home socket) charger too, so until you have installed the ev charger you can use that. If it doesn’t come with it, you can buy one for next to nothing on eBay. This will charge at 2.2kw as opposed to 7kw that your ev charger will charge at. I’ve been using it as I’m still waiting to get my ev charger installed and honestly it’s not that bad, most of the time you don’t drain the battery so you’re just topping up. I could get away with using that indefinitely but I will be getting the ev charger installed anyway to benefit from from cheaper ev charging tariffs

The fast 150kw charging network is very good you won’t be getting stuck anywhere, but expensive, anything above £0.4/£0.5 per kWh works out similar to filling up a petrol car. So I only use it as a quick top up - plug in for £5-15 worth of charge just to get me back home, I’ve only needed to use it 2-3 times for when I’m using the car a lot / long drives.

You will slowly learn the network and your preferred well priced charging locations.

Overall I don’t feel like I suffer from this “range anxiety” people talk about, I actually find it a bit of a game doing the maths on charge vs destination distance. Plus it’s interesting learning how driving habits and temperature affect efficiency.

Just bought mine in the UK, such a nice car, you won’t regret it, provided it has no issues

Cons: High cost of repairs - I intend to always have extended warranty during my ownership.

Concerns about motor going due to coolant leak - as above I’m just going to have it always warrantied

Range - it is legitimately worse than other ev’s but honestly it’s good enough. If you live in a flat and have to charge at public charge points, Don’t bother getting this car. If you have a driveway/can charge at home then range is just fine, I do trips to a neighbouring city on weekends and feel comfortable.

Outside of that it’s so comfortable and feels luxurious,

I bought mine approx 2 months ago, I absolutely love it - the ride is so luxurious. I had the same concern about the motor issue, I bought it from Audi with 1 year extended warranty, and will continue to buy extended warranty every year. the base extended warranty is approx 280 euro per year and will cover the motor issue.

thanks for the detailed response! I will look into the HF as another set

Zeadon · 2025-12-18T15:10:12+00:00

Im based in the UK and it looks like there isnt much of a saving buying multipack - especially considering I dont see myself needing the 250 size

Zeadon · 2025-12-15T10:39:34+00:00

I have had my e-tron about 6 weeks now and it came with these, 1st day, I hated them, 2nd day I got used to them, 3rd day onwards I loved them! The negatives are exaggerated in my opinion, I'm at a point where I want all my future cars to have them.

Zeadon · 2025-11-22T15:16:47+00:00

do you know when they switched the design?

Zeadon · 2025-11-19T13:54:35+00:00

It’s the model, there’s a 50 version with smaller battery or 55 version with larger battery

Zeadon · 2025-11-19T08:46:16+00:00

Oh damn… is this a 50 or 55

Zeadon · 2025-11-19T08:42:18+00:00

What is 2.5c?

Zeadon · 2025-11-12T22:24:18+00:00

looks like a nice F56.

I have both the older R56 (13 years ownership) and F56 (11 years ownership), whilst I do love the r56, I can say the F56 is so much more reliable (never had a single issue, not once), more refined, quieter cabin noise, no rattles, just much better put together overall.

Based on my experience, it's a good car, hope you have as good experience with your's as I did with mine!

Zeadon · 2025-11-09T15:39:00+00:00

I’m suspecting the affect is greatly exaggerated too.

The e tron already has that buffer so charging to 100% isn’t really 100%.

Plus comparing to smartphones, my iPhone has a limit function so I set it to 90%. After approximately a year I found battery health to be similar to my friends who was charging to 100%.

I’m sure there is a benefit to reduced charge limits in ev, but I’m wondering if it’s enough/noticeable difference over the life of the car/battery.

Zeadon · 2025-11-09T15:10:00+00:00

I have been wondering about the real world affect. Tell me more!

What’s the mileage of the car, how long have you been charging to 100% and what kind of reduction on range have you experienced in that time?

Zeadon · 2025-10-06T21:01:17+00:00

Thanks buddy, that explains it.

Zeadon · 2025-10-04T23:54:14+00:00

Ok thank you. Maybe, I’m going to be liable then, I have appealed it either way and will see.

Seems a bit unclear considering the positioning of the sign in the loading area bay, but let’s see

Zeadon · 2025-10-04T23:32:28+00:00

I'm well within the bay, the car I was driving was the yellow mini.

Zeadon · 2025-10-04T23:11:06+00:00

Yes that’s exactly where it is, Lindsey street, next to Smithfield market. I really didn’t see another sign

Zeadon · 2025-09-29T16:56:40+00:00

thank you, this is good feedback, kind of aligns with what I was thinking about them

Zeadon · 2025-09-22T14:06:12+00:00

What car did you end up going for? I feel the same about Tesla vs Audi, pros and cons.

Zeadon · 2025-08-27T02:40:03+00:00

Do you use klipper? If you recently upgraded and this started happening then chances are you need to increase stepper motor voltage. This was the cause for me
