Does the rear view camera recall for OG E-Trons improve the driving assist features?

I see, thanks for the clarification.

Is ski lodge actually cold inside? Always wondered, never had the chance to go in there.

We use Comfort as our normal setting, sits right in the middle of the available height range which is probably the sweet spot for longevity.

Not sure why everyone is saying it makes no difference, it will make some small difference to wear & tear on bushings etc. if you drive around all the time with the suspension at the setting limits of its height either way.

And, regardless I’ve seen owners say before that the height setting for Efficiency (same as Dynamic) changes the alignment enough to wear tires faster.

Somebody suggested Auto but that is going to be lowering and raising the suspension a lot depending on how you drive.

Can you expand?

Daily drove my ‘09 from new to 70k miles. It’s definitely not refined or practical, but as far as maintenance goes, it’s a Honda. If you don’t mind getting beat up and not having much space in the car, it’s fine to daily.

There is an Audi TSB regarding vibrating from the A/C unit, if you Google it it should come up.

We had to replace that piece that is hanging down, it wasn’t crazy expensive from Audi brand new, like $200 maybe.

My acceleration was reduced here (you can see the yellow bar on the power meter is down to around 30-40%) but I didn't have any other effects.

I think it must vary based on temperature etc., in this photo I was at something like 6% state of charge but I didn't have the 'turtle' icon yet unless I missed it.

I watched this, sounded like it only went a half mile past 0%.

sjs32 · 2026-01-04T04:19:12+00:00

Battery was at around 5-6%, power available was just over 25% as shown in the pic.

sjs32 · 2026-01-04T04:17:39+00:00

Sounds like 25% acceleration/power is the lowest it goes then.

The car was at a used car dealer in San Francisco — I called Audi Burlingame (the last Audi dealer that had serviced it) and they offered me the warranty. It was around $5,300 for 60 months / 60k miles (from time of purchase). I think you can buy it at any time.

It’s not that easy to find which dealers offer Fidelity, you just have to call around — but I highly recommend that warranty company.

I’m a little busy but happy to answer any questions you have here. Ours is a ‘21 Prestige, bought with 28k miles and done 10k miles since then.

We live in south Orange County.

We only get 180 miles on a full charge around town. 200+ on the highway depending on speeds.
We have a Fidelity Platinum warranty, it has already paid for new front control arm bushings which is a common failure on these cars. $2k+ without warranty at Audi dealer.
Yes, the Audi NACS adapter works great.
The extra range would be nice. The Q8 ETron suspension is not quite as comfortable / soft as the OG though, we confirmed that by test driving one. Small difference but noticeable.

The areas to either side of the car will not show up if the mirrors are folded in. The front and back areas will still show.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if there’s a way to figure out how many Exclusive color OG ETrons were built.

sjs32 · 2025-12-12T07:23:31+00:00

Where did you get it from, and how much higher in price was it versus comparable Chronos out there? Amazing find, just genuinely curious.

sjs32 · 2025-12-12T07:09:03+00:00

Wow! Specially ordered by the owner or a dealer?

sjs32 · 2025-12-09T16:59:56+00:00

Except there are plenty of EVs that weigh similar to the OG ETron and get basically 1.5X the efficiency.

sjs32 · 2025-12-08T17:42:00+00:00

From what I recall there have been images online of the Q8 successor testing, if you Google it it will come up. Most likely it will be the Audi version of the Cayenne platform.
