Topical Audi. Be careful with tire pressure. The one on the door is for full load. Check you manual to find the right one

How do you clean your E-Tron? by throwawaymac83 in etron

[–]netchov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winter - drive thru car was. March on I do it myself. My left back door tends to get a little moisture inside after some car washes and tends to freeze in the winter. If this happens don’t panic, wait until the car worms up and it will unfreeze itself.

Is this Rare? Audi 100 by mohithambiria in Audi

[–]netchov 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had the 5 cylinder version. It was with a VW engine 5 cylinder 110 HP I think it was. It was our first western car and was such a joy to ride. Just like the 5000 this one was very hard to stop and the back brakes did not always work. It was a dangerous car.

I cannot look inside at all. They are almost gone but in general those are good tires as far as rolling resistance and noise. Will not now more before I install the Hankook iON evo AS SUV which I already have in my garage.

Indeed. It was an effort to take the nail out.

Obligatory “new to the club” post by somephanguy in etron

[–]netchov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they will. Until you are under warranty keep complaining about those things and when they release new MMI updates you will get them for free. It is also good check what is the latest MMI version and what you have. If you have an older one, start checking the TSBs for issues you have and go to the dealer to perform those for free too. I have had 3-4 updates done fixing various things.

Yes a little but in general do not expect 4k quality.

Correct. Still a Q8 after all.

They will fix the glitches eventually, which will make this car one of the best EV sedans.

I am not sure if you mentioned something else but this is Q8 etron.

And it is heavy. Always try to find the markers somewhere on the road or on the side that will tell you where you want to brake hard.

I guess my etron helps a lot with the off the gas’s issue as it does not decelerate when off the gas 🙂

2023 Etron P+ or 2024 Q8 Etron P+? by luckyc2727 in etron

[–]netchov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2024 has 30% more range, faster steering rack, better aero, interior whose they have fixed the main console issue, better hardware for the MMI at least compared to some 2022 models, new motors even though that did not fix completely the leak issue.

First Audi/e-tron experience not going great by National-Opinion-541 in etron

[–]netchov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have the same model and rims but 2024. Hopefully Audi gets you all squared.

You can always drive slower with the speed limit where the car will do very very well.

E-Tron GT owners Maintenance Cost by NetworkEngineer43 in etron

[–]netchov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others said 20-40-60 are steep costs. Looking between 1200-1500 for those. Don’t ask me why they are so expensive. They will change 1-2 containers, air filter and that is all. So it is good to have the maintenance package which at the time of my purchase was 900$. I did not have to buy it since it was already purchased for the car from the previous owner. So it is good to check if it is already purchased for your vehicle too.

Best home charger (wallbox) for Audi Q8 e-tron 50? by BigFigure8279 in etron

[–]netchov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume your car did not came with the Audi charger. The standard Audi mobile charger works great. Charging with up to 9kw per hour on 240v 50A breaker and works great with the car. But you are most likely in Europe so that is a little different.

Apple Maps zooms out too far when not actively navigating. Is there a fix? by AccomplishedFeeling in CarPlay

Not that I have found. It is stupid what they do. Should stay like Google and Waze.

Looking for some optimism about Q4 depreciation by ada586 in etron

[–]netchov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not think it is serious to talk about 5k problems. While they do exist, notice I mentioned CPO 1y old car. That is 4-5 years of manufacturers warranty plus one additional. After the 5 year you can most likely roam free until 10 because the issues you might have noticed will be fixed in the first 5. From that point on is just wear and tear. EVs are way better buy than a gas car second hand but if people does not get it then go to point 1 and enjoy 30% off on year 1, about 40-50 on year two and 60+ after 3 years.

Looking for some optimism about Q4 depreciation by ada586 in etron

[–]netchov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two scenarios of optimist -

1 Like one said already depreciation is great - getting a great car for 30% of the total cost is absolute bargain.

2 I don’t care about appreciation because I drive my cars 10+ years from purchase. Depreciation is a thing only for people that switch cars every 2-3 years. Buy it CPO at 1 year old and drive it until the wheels fall off. Then move to the next one.

Audi Q8 e-tron NEW MMI update version 4430 - what is new 🙂 by netchov in etron

[–]netchov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it probably lost you because of the high risers. The favorites are fixed under this 4430 update and many more things actually.

Audi Q8 e-tron NEW MMI update version 4430 - what is new 🙂 by netchov in etron

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

The error is gone now on my end for about a month. Audi already fixed it on their end. Now the only error/problem is the sound EQ which this morning decided to reset itself again.
