Alyssa’s 2019 Audi e-tron 55 Prestige Ten Month Ownership Update!

[@steveroper8733]

Alyssa has always brought a "normal" perspective to EV ownership that I really identify with. Her videos are among my favorites.

[@vlad2838]

A classy gesture on your part to give OOS viewers the chance to see how eloquent, insightful, and graceful Alyssa really is. (And your customary bonhomie is also on display.) Life goes on, and we all hope this fine lady and the dogs can find happiness wherever she sees fit.

[@kevinphillips9408]

I actually think this maybe your best video. Really enjoyed Alyssa so relaxed.

[@mikeprice8186]

Alyssa's better without Kyle. She gets a chance to speak.

That's why she dumped him I guess

That dash doesn't need to be replaced. A good detailer could make that tear look 99% better.

[@manuelias86]

Finally more Alyssa content!!

[@roberthicks686]

We miss Alyssa. if the repair doesn't work then put a dash cover on there and take the hit when trading in the car for whatever comes next. It would probably even out in the long run and be less hassle. I had to put a cover on my ID.4 to get rid of the window glare. It was really messing with my eyes and has helped a lot. Dave do you know if Alyssa is still doing the dog rescue transport? I really enjoyed those videos and hope we get to see more in the future.

@Bob M because in a previous video Alyssa said that she had her own apartment and if you watch the new video where Kyle picked up is 2009 Rover, him and Anna are in a tiny house for the evening with one bed and I highly doubt Kyle's going to sleep on the couch.

[@keithmcdonnell4485]

I guess I am ignorant, I didn't realize there was a break up (probably due to video's being released long after filming) until I saw Kyle with the new GF. I am going to miss Alyssa on the channel :( Does she have a channel of her own that I can follow? Out of spec is famous enough in my world that I was surprised that I couldn't look up details of the split on line... Yes, it is none of our business, but I can't help being curious about people I watch on a regular basis on KZbin.

[@BillB33525]

I've been driving etron for over 3 years, great car. Have 35K miles driven, more than a hanful of road trips even in 9F freezing rain no problems. With CCS chargers poping up along major driving routes the mediocer range is not an issue.

[@carworldwidepak]

Overall, the Audi e-tron is a great choice for those in the market for an electric luxury SUV. It offers impressive performance, advanced technology, and a comfortable ride, all while producing zero emissions.

[@gregpochet4812]

Interesting that in the description they mention when the video was filmed. Looking at the last few OoS Dave videos, they did not. Things that make you go Hmmm

[@dconner9]

I put the date in there as it took me so long to edit this video as I have been busy putting up other videos. My trip to Colorado was over a month ago and wanted to provide time context. Is that a problem?

[@gregpochet4812]

@@dconner9 It is not a problem. Sorry if I offended you. Keep up the good videos.

[@bigtenpochet]

@@dconner9 we all love the content from the OOS family, and to some extent, even though you don't know any of us personally, you and the team (Alyssa included) all feel like "friends and family" to us, and as such, when we don't see one of your team members for more than a month, we are all concerned. There are many others asking about Alyssa and speculating on all sorts of things. We hope Alyssa is well and we'll see her again soon.

[@bnort1040]

@@dconner9 If I may be so bold as to offer some context, in a non-internet troll kind of way, I believe the inference refers to the grief the Out of Spec viewers are feeling while trying not to believe what their eyes are telling them. Like it or not, the Out of Spec family has become just that to all of its loyal subscribers across the channels. Whether youtube content creators aspire to this or not, people on the screen become much more than that in our lives. I would say this video, more than others, is kind of emblematic of the struggle. Are they together? Are they not? Oh look, there's Kyle! Though not the intent I'm certain, but it's literally toying with the Out of Spec loyalists. Not that long ago, we were privy to the notion that Alyssa now has her own place. CES wasn't that long ago, but now we see Kyle traversing the US with Anna (things he was doing with Alyssa not that long ago) as she appears without explanation. The comments are filled with references to this across videos. It has the feeling of children of divorced parents.

The damage to the dash is a covered loss under your comprehensive insurance. File a claim and you would only pay your comprehensive deductible

[@marc-xn8tu]

Alyssa, I so welcome and am grateful for your experience and willingness to share. I am on the verge of purchasing a used 2019 filly loaded e tron Prestige edition with 25 000 for $40 000. The vehicle is in excellent condition, like new in fact, as one would expect with an Audi. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to perhaps give me a couple of pointers on what I should look out for with a used e tron. Again, thank you so much …. Could I recommend you start your own channel. Your perspective is very insightful.

[@jamwiddle6642]

I own one of these. Edition One: Only 900 made world wide. 9K miles as of 1/24/24. It is the bomb. I drive it just to drive it. I only paid $37K out the door

I have been able to get rid of some of the rattle. I have taken the rear hatch interior trim off and i put weather stripping between the two panels that meet around the driver side hindge. i sprayed flex seal in between the panels as well. it helped for sure but there is other popping and flexing around the headliner as well and the rear seats somewhere... :(

The lit up seat belt is a nice touch. Luxury car, but Alyssa is right, needs more range. Kind of a big miss when combined with the lousy charging. Nice to see Alyssa in this. I used to think she was stuck up, but then concluded she was just quiet. It's nice to see her get more and more comfortable as she has a knowledgeable woman's perspective and provides contrast to all the males in the industry. She's no fan of Vinfast! Haha.

[@mathewscoines8219]

You mentioned (16:53) that the Q8 is pretty big. The ICE version is however I think the Etron Q8 is essentially the same size as the original Etron (you have). As far as I understood it the Q8 Etron is a direct replacement for the Etron you own even then cabin is very similar just better range/efficiency and some other practical improvements.

[@gruppefbc]

The Q8 Etron is the mid-life update of the Etron, so it's not so much a direct replacement, rather it's the same car, just updated. Audi renamed it and added 'Q8' as the 'Etron' product naming is now used across multiple products in their range, so the renaming was required to add clarity.

You guys really need to delve more into the seriousness of the 2019-22 Safety Recalls 93U9/93V2 / High-Voltage Battery Module(s) for the e-tron. As of this writing, there’s still no “remedy” other than to “watch it” and “only charge to 80%”. That leaves you with a realistic 170 miles on a summer day and 100 or less in the dead of winter. It needs more than range… it needs range and a fix for a serious RECALL!

[@gp3yt]

Nice interpersonal review... it is at least recent and relevant, most others on the etron are 2-3yrs old. Would have appreciated hearing more about Alyssa's actual ownership experience, but, the absence of talk about problems and issues aside from range and reliable charger availabilty, pretty much summed it up. Feel the pain about the dash, BUT, accidents such as the dog scarring the dash is an opportunity to have a little creative fun; ask an upholstery person or the guy that's doing the repair how much to cover that entire dash section in the same black "leatherette" material and color, or contrasting color. Also, with vinyl wraps/veneers being so popular, get the scratched "wood" trim covered even change to any finish of choice - carbon fiber anyone?? 😉
