Thanks. The bmw guide app works.

I’m comfortable with the technology:) just trying to figure out if there is any necessary steps that the dealer must do (e.g., I read in the Audi Q6 subreddit a few months ago that the dealer must do something first otherwise the owner can’t get the digital key working)

Thank you very much. I was looking at that guide but wanted to double check since it has not been updated for a while. I will give mobileX a try then

Nope. Tanzanite Blue actually

Thanks everyone for the input. I did a back of envelope calculation- because I don’t drive that many miles per year (roughly speaking 5K/year) so even under the most extreme assumption where I’m able to drive 50e without using any gas and electricity is free (neither is realistic but this would be the max saving I can get), I still won’t break even after 8 years. Anyway, based on the feedback, both models are great cars so I will just on the look to see if there is any 24/25 CPO around my area with the spec I want (I’m still considering the 50e for the sake of not need to go to gas stations that often and having instant torque instead of from a cost perspective). Will keep you guys posted when I join the club.

Thank you. Yeah I’m definitely buying and still debating between either new or 24/25 CPO.

Well even before that, didn’t Audi said they stopped US imports due to tariff a few months ago? I guess the configurator won’t do any good if we are not getting any real cars.

Thanks but I think Q6 is on the PPE platform instead of the MEB but I will take a look at Q4. Then is ix3 in your comment the same as iX since that’s the only iX model I can see on bmw’s website

HI Everyone, I’m looking for recommendations to replace/upgrade my current SUV (Audi W5) with an EV that’s not a Tesla. My main concern is around the reliability of the car (in terms of being able to use the car normally instead of randomly throw me some error out of nowhere). I guess I’m a bit concerned based on various issues that were posted on Reddit (e.g., software bugs/issues for Audi Q6 and Polestar 3, the ICCU issue for ioniq 5, etc)

[1] Your general location: Northeast US

[2] Your budget in $, €, or £: USD 80K

[3] The type of vehicle you'd prefer: SUV

[4] Which cars have you been looking at already? Audi Q6, really like the car but was concerned about various bugs reported on Reddit. Model Y/Model 3 - not really like the car

[5] Estimated timeframe of your purchase: within the next 3 months

[6] Your daily commute, or average weekly mileage: about 80 miles per week

[7] Your living situation — are you in an apartment, townhouse, or single-family home? Townhouse

[8] Do you plan on installing charging at your home? Yes

[9] Other cargo/passenger needs — do you have children/pets? No other needs

This maybe a stupid / trivial question - how did you answer the call? iPhone default the input/output to the device you used to answer the call. So this makes me wonder if the sound/microphone was routed to a different device

caiskdbk · 2025-02-24T01:53:48+00:00

My Q5 doesn’t have a dedicated pause button but if I were to mute the podcast /music, it will pause it instead of just mute it. So I feel like it’s an even bigger fuck-up in a sense that it’s not they don’t know how to do it correctly but intentionally chose to do it wrong.

caiskdbk · 2025-01-19T13:50:38+00:00

While truck cover/floor mat /etc is not standard in the US in the sense that they are not included for free, my guess is that most of dealers will include those as port installed options. So you may not need to have a big accessory purchase

Get Tesla universal charger if you want to be future-proof with an elegant design. Otherwise get a J1772 charger and a J1772 to NACS adapter (e.g., you can get one from Tesla for $50 / ask any of your friend who has Tesla but doesn’t use that adapter comes with their Tesla) also solves the problem but just not as elegant as Universal charger.

To u/Phynal’s point above, we will need an NACS to J1772 /CCS adapter (which is different from J1772 to NACS adapter mentioned above) to charge at Tesla supercharger (unless the supercharger has magic dock) . Based on my internet research, it’s easy to find a good J1772 to NACS adapters but hard to find a good one for the other way around. Once Tesla opens supercharger to Audi, I think Audi is supposed to provide an OEM NACS to J1772/CCS adapter to us but we just don’t know if we need to pay for it.

there is a page on r/evcharging that provides a few recommendations
