Audi e-tron 50 Geilo test

[@1evilpie]

Thank you for this review that has helped to convince me to go for the 50 rather than 55. It's not just about being able to afford the extra it's also whether you NEED the extra. I will maybe do 2 journeys per year that the 50 won't be able to do without stopping to charge somewhere. If I don't need an extra 24kWh of battery then why waste it.

Hi Bjorn, i very much appreciate your opinion. I am lucky to drive a TM3 for 1 year. Today, I had a test drive on Audi e-tron 55, and the seller said that when parking the car in cold weather, 1 week ski vacation for example, you need to plug the car, or it would be drained empty. I doubt very much. What do you think from your cold country experience?

[@John-km2uw]

I've never considered owning an Audi. Hmmm, seems like it could replace the trusty RAV4 AWD. Range isn't the greatest, but it is probably good enough for a winter time Yosemite tour if I juice it up during breakfast time in Oakhurst.

Very useful video. How about the supposedly stronger regen on this one, did you feel it @Bjørn Nyland?

[@seb.]

18:10 maybe it didn't preheat due to a fault because: - you came back too early (13h38 on the car clock, you asked for 13h40) - entered/turned on the car when it's about to kick in might just cancel scheduled heating

[@TheSweMusicMan]

The time set is not when the heater should start, it's your expected departure time.

[@bjornnyland]

TheSweMusicMan is right. The heater usually starts 30 minutes before departure time. And no, entering a car right before it will start should not cancel heating. That's not Vorsprung.

[@seb.]

guys I know it was the departure date 😉 but Audi says preheating will run for a max of 30mn... including 10mn after departure time, that doesn't equal to 30mn before your departure. maybe it's uber efficient and just need 30s at the temp/conditions you had 🤒 last Etron I had was so unpredictable

In a steep downhill will an EV automatically maintain the speed without using the brakes? Perhaps even re-charge? I Norway you have quite steep hills inside tunnels/mountains, I remember a few with 10%, perhaps even more and it is really hard to drive an normal diesel car without using the brakes.

[@pioneer7777777]

Any possibility of a LEAF Plus Geilo trip?

[@ouethojlkjn]

I think the problem these premium offerings have is they simply cannot be short on range. It's like selling a big fat German soggy SUV with such a small tank that it only goes 200 miles between fills of fossil. It can have the best hifi, the most comfortable seats, dashboard made from Unicorn horns - the range will put people off.

[@topgunm]

Even worse as fuel is quick to fill up. I agree. These types of cars need real good range, otherwise I don't see the point. With all the money in the world and I could pick one EV, it would be the one with the best range and best charging network - aka the S100D or the M3 LR AWD :)

[@HomeCinemaJunkie]

Ragarding speed vs consumption. When I drive only to work in our Leaf 2, which is 70% motorway (running @110km/h) the avg consumption goes down. But when we only drive on mostly 50-70km roads the consumption gets higher which puzzles me...

heat didn't work cause you set it to start at 13:40, and it wasn't there yet.

[@TheSweMusicMan]

No. The time set, is not when the heater should start, it's your expected departure time. If you will start driving at around 13:40, you just set it to that time, and the car will take care of the rest ( if it works as intended. This time it gave an general error message though )

[@TheSweMusicMan]

@R No, it doesn't . It works the same way as many modern cars with petrol and diesel - heaters. How long it will run depends on outside and cabin - temperature. From the e-tron manual: " Immediate start You can immediately switch the auxiliary climate control on and off using the l button. When this function is switched on, a colored bar lights up over the button and the remaining time is displayed. The auxiliary climate control will run for a maximum of 30 minutes after the immediate start. Timer programming You can set up to two timers for the departure time. Each one of the timers can be activated. ► Select one timer. ► Set the date and select Next. ► Set the time (departure time) and select OK. ► Activate the timer with m . By setting the departure time, you determine when your vehicle should reach the desired temperature. The departure time can be a maximum of six days in the future. The auxiliary climate control will continue to run approximately ten minutes after the departure time is reached "

[@bjornnyland]

TheSweMusicMan is right. In all EVs, you set a departure time. Heater will usually start 30 minutes before.

[@TravelwithPavel]

The heating didnt start because you set it up for 13:40 and it was 13:38 when you checked it

[@bjornnyland]

The time you set it for is the time you want the car to be warm. Heating will usually start 15-30 minutes before.

And for those of you who don't know, speed limit is the maximum speed on a road with the best driving conditions. Wet and cold road can not have as good conditions as a dry and warm road. Driving on 79 km/h (as shown in the video) where speed limit is 80 km/h is not driving slowly. Even if the speedometer is a little bit off. On 80 km/h on the speedometer this Audi is probably on about 77 km/h. Please, relax Bjørn.

@@ivand911 The cabin interior and seems are just 10 to 20% of the vehicle. For BEVs, the software, the motors, the electronic control modules, battery control modules, cooling/heating systems, and of course the battery are all critical components. Failure to develop quality batteries (poor chemistry, bad cooling, innefiicient battery monitoring using old electronics with higher resistances) leads to lower efficiencies. Maybe not true for all Audis, but putting a pretty coat on what is an otherwise mediocre at best powertrain/battery is not something VAG should be proud of. The ID3 will probably be a lot better.
