Bet they limit the initial current draw from the battery to protect its life span or something.

[@richystar2001]

Audi hasn't figured out the cooling system for their Lithium battery... So software limits maximum draw at launch or acceleration. To keep batteries from over heating.

[@brankojerbic6040]

Nice but what about acceleration, handling and Autobahn test ? Range ? Its 405 Hp and you were using 50 Hp i was almost asleep by the end of the video....Price should be better than Tesla S and the Audi looks like a proper / real car...

[@supaahflyy]

I'll try to answer some of your questions. Range is 220 miles and its much much lower on highway speeds due to terrible drag coefficient. So honestly you are looking well below 200 miles of real range. 405hp i think it said at the start is 0-100 in about 5.7 seconds. Price should be about the same as Model X except you get less battery, less range, no supercharger network but a better built interior. Looks are subjective but the Model X looks from the future, this looks like its just yet another SUV from Audi which again, can be the look you're going for which is ok.

[@brankojerbic6040]

@@supaahflyy thanks for that. Yes agree that the Audi is better built and i think the electric cars from mainstream manufacturers will evolve quickly. When the Fluoride Ion batteries are introduced that will be the start of the end of combustion engines....

[@GY9944]

I can easily see Audi become one of the staples in the EV game once they figure out how to match Tesla in range and performance departments. Design-wise I’d take this over a Model X if they matched in those said areas. Build quality seems excellent too !

[@Porsche1969]

Audi is producing perfect German premium car quality and Tesla is still a fucking rookie in the industry, which can't keep up with German quality. The Germans have a lot of experience in building premium cars, but Tesla is still making absolutely bullshit quality in its Model S and X. Also Teslas halfaken battery system in Model S and X is still overheating very easily, when you drive it really fast, like on a German Autobahn. Audi and PORSCHE will bring a new type of battery in their EVs, which doesn't have such problems at all! And that's only the beginning... Just wait and see what will happen with Tesla when all the other big boys in the car industry are coming hard with one EV after another! VW alone is currently investing more than 50 billion Euros in its new EVs for the next five years... The same goes for Audi, PORSCHE, BMW, Mercedes-Benz... At the end of 2019 Porsche will show with its new fully-electric Taycan, that it will be very difficult for Tesla to keeping up with a real EV sportscar for four persons like the Taycan, and that Tesla now has really hard competition from the best carmaker in the world! Compared to fucking awfully built Teslas, premium customers will finally see how a first class quality EV from PORSCHE looks and drives like! And the Taycan will be fucking awesome! All of PORSCHEs EV development engineers say that it drives absolutely phantastic, like no other big four door PORSCHE before they have built so far! You can imagine what this means, if the Taycan is even more dynamic than a Panamera. Everybody who will still pay the same amount of money for a fucking stupid, halfbaken and with only poor American "quality" badly built Tesla Model S as for a PORSCHE Taycan, must be very stupid!

I like the acceleration that EVs offer, the low center of gravity, extra storage, lack of oil, & less moving parts which should make them more reliable. Unfortunately EVs & most new cars are being made with complex computer systems and cheap plastics. I'm waiting for EVs built with long term durability & easy maintenance in mind. My dream EV would be something like the Tesla Roaster, a coupe, but affordable. I personally don't care at all for touch screens, self driving, SUVs, or tech gimmicks like electric doors.
