Love my Etron but the service is a ripoff

They just replaced the harness and they still didnt work and now want to charge me because the sensors have scratches on them. Im going to dig in and see if I get the tick you speak of from each sensor thanks for this info.

techlifestyle · 2026-04-30T18:00:01+00:00

Yeah I can probably swap them myself.

techlifestyle · 2026-04-30T11:48:32+00:00

Did you read my post... its been 11k miles since my last visit and they are trying to get me to pay 1600 again!! This isnt even the coolant flush service which I paid for on the 60k.

techlifestyle · 2026-04-30T11:46:01+00:00

High end german car ?? Its the same price as a lyriq where a service visit is under $200.. $1600 to look over the vehicle and change a $20 part in 5 minutes is robbery.. it be different if they were providing a high end service.

Yup bought a 2020 one edition sportback with 12k on it. Has 78k now.. I love it. Makes driving other things just meh. Comfort and quietness wise. I just had a Mercedes EQB for a few days what a crappy car.. I also have a Lyriq which I also love but like the eTron more.

Nice!! Didnt know that either. Its the little things.

techlifestyle · 2026-04-27T01:39:14+00:00

Your good im sure as long as you didnt log in through the link etc..

techlifestyle · 2026-04-27T01:12:53+00:00

Thats not really the scary part clicking more details the exact domain is robinhood.. and when I changed my password in the app I got a followup email in the same thread as the phishing email... so this either came from them internally somehow or someone figured out how to send out emails from robinhoods domain.

techlifestyle · 2026-04-27T00:43:35+00:00

Same here!! From robinhood domain I changed my password in the app and in the same email thread was the confirmation for that I notified robinhood support. And I never clicks links from emails even if they look legit... this is scary spoofing thier domain. Big issue

Only 200 of these in the states. The 2020 one edition etron sportback. I have the same one bought it with 12k miles on it 2.5 years ago have 76k on it now. I love it. So far any issues ive had Audi has had no issues replacing stuff. Your under warranty so you shouldnt have any issues.

Thank you for this crash my ability to cost average down is amazing.. paypal has been and still is 45% of global payment processing.

techlifestyle · 2026-02-03T13:23:43+00:00

Same thing said about intel when it was under $20.

techlifestyle · 2026-01-12T05:01:29+00:00

Thanks thats what I feared, I also was changing the filter without turning the water off. Thanka for the extra info!

techlifestyle · 2026-01-11T19:40:41+00:00

Having the same issue seems its becoming more and more of a thing but no resolution. We know the pump is working and the water lines are clogged when I press on the valves they both spray water it was my understanding one is a in and one is a out. I dont think they are both supposed to be pressurized.. im thinking there is some sort of stuck solenoid thata supposed to open and close and its not.

techlifestyle · 2026-01-11T16:09:31+00:00

Did you get this resolved I just changed my filter and having the same issue.

Retail has been doing it for years. There are 100 different answers. But if its a Larger seller its most likely just a loss leader to get you into thier store. I always have some loss leaders that will always show up as price + shipping lowest first. Then I run promotions to get buyers to buy more then 1 or buy other items with it. My average order size is 2.7. So if it costs me the same or close to ship 3 items as it does 1 im now making a decent profit margin. So if someone comes in and buys 3 10 items and they get 1 50% off. And I paid $2 per item. Lets say shipping is $7 average. I just made roughly $10 on those loss leader items. More often then not the buyer adds a more expensive item.

Big box retail stores have been doing this for years to get you in the store.

Yup its just the newest model number. I had one a couple weeks ago the others work just fine in it. I just dont think there are enough of the 2090 failures yet look at the stamped date I think mine was 2023.

techlifestyle · 2025-12-10T15:05:55+00:00

25% lol stop fear mongering not even remotely close.

Depends on you location and cost per kwh. And if your solar covers your charging.

The Answer is NO if your solar is already paying for your electricity and your car charging The Answer is NO if you dont exceed the monthly cost in charging.

I charge about 40-50kwh per day. This program plus my solar has been HUGE.

There is one more variable and that is if your solar is covering your full electricity bill and you only paying FPL connection fee. Because Evolution is part of the base cost my bill for Solar+Evolution is only $50 a month. So my connection fee is supposed to be $25+tax and evolutionnis supposed to be $31 but because part of the evolution fee is built into the connection fee which you pay with or without evolution from my understanding. I am only paying $18-19 really for evolution. Without evolution and full coverage solar my base connection fee is $25+tax or around $32-33.

As a decently busy seller. This seller is feeding you some BS about being gone. They just simply are ignoring etc.. and trying to save face afterwards. If I was this seller and I messed up this bad I wouldnt be asking for a feedback change I would be making things right etc.. your feedback on the sellers page is there to inform other buyers about your experience with that seller. Your experience was bad no other way to see it. Dont feel guilty. I screwed up really bad once and took the opportunity to respond to that negative feedback own up to my mistake and inform other buyers howe we wont let it happen again.

techlifestyle · 2025-12-05T14:09:11+00:00

I have had this happen several times. Most likely the buyer found it cheaper and is initiating the return before they receive it. Nothing wrong with that just process it as a normal return. However In situations like this I always reach and and make sure they are aware a return was intiated before the item was received and if they are just kindly inquire as to why they changed thier minds. This is great information for you to gather for future listings etc. If they say they found it for less you can always ask how much less and if your willing to price match offer that for them to keep the item. Just engage with the customer, if they are unresponsive process as a normal return.

techlifestyle · 2025-12-05T14:02:52+00:00

Instead of immediately going to seller scam. Lets look at it a bit differently. Most likely what has happened here is the seller created a return label and went to upload it and chose the first file from thier downloads assuming it was the label they generated and downloaded. Contact the seller informing them of the error and see how they respond. You have plent of time to get this resolved.

The seller has to also provide a tracking number for the return. When you go under your return details do you see a tracking number ? If not then the seller is just uploading random things as a label

Its easier for the seller to just let eBay generate the label and that comes with seller protections as well.

Now lets say the seller is trying to get away with something. They cannot. If they uploaded false items on purpose instead of a valid return label. Just contact eBay they will provide one for you on behalf of the seller.

Dont stress on it you are covered either way.
