"I bet they have water in Watertown" ... Dad jokes are on point!

Level 💯

[@Marker-er3ro]

Saab sign….indeed

[@BUEAU]

Dad is so damn cute

[@scottbreseke716]

Kyle's only into the Strawberry Acai Refresher, so the water doesn't really matter.

[@snakeeyes9246]

As a Connecticut resident, yes, they have water in Watertown.

[@egev7869]

Ur dad is awesome I bet he's so proud u and ur girl for how far you two have come. Keep it up.

[@NickErickson]

“We just need a car” Casually spends $70k lmao

[@OlJackBurton]

And then the mom talks about getting a $100k car (Porsche Macan electric)...

[@musicjohn1]

Spoiled rich kid. 🙂 Thinks we should all just buy a $100K+ RV, Audi E-Tron, Tesla Model 3, etc. I'm glad Domenick can relate to the people that don't have money to burn.

[@konacopia]

@@OlJackBurton The Macan EV won't be in production until the 2024 model year. It's estimated to start at $75-80k, though I'm sure with trim upgrades, $100k price tag is feasible.

[@OlJackBurton]

@@konacopia I doubt she'll buy the base model with the stock color and interior and no options. Porsche charges over $8k for certain color/interior combinations. Not for interior upgrades like leather, wood, alcantara or carbon fiber to the dash, door panels, headliner, steering wheel and interior trims, but just the color. Also almost every single higher end convenience/luxury/tech feature is extra and overpriced. There are no comprehensive packages, but everything is ala carte. Add in inflation, taxes, fees and dealer markups, the Macan EV is easily a $100+k car, even for the base trim. Heck, that fat E-tron was a $90+k car out the door when it was new 3+ years ago...

[@CharlieLiuPhotography]

Wow, I don't think I've watched a lot of your older videos with your dad but he is super knowledgeable. I am impressed!

[@taminatorv]

I have the exact same spec, except mine has 20" wheels. Make sure it has at least the 93M3 update which increases usable battery capacity and shuts the front motor down when cruising. 93N6 just came out recently which is supposed to be a BMS update.

[@codyzhu5461]

How do you check this?

[@alkreischer]

That vehicle was a store loaner for service customers. That’s what a “mobility vehicle” means. It also has a built in perfume dispenser for the A/C and you get two fragrances to chose from.

[@forceinfinity]

Audi's seem to be one of the only cars I've seen that has an altimeter on their navigation screen. Especially neat when you're traveling around in the mountains and you want to get a sense for elevation

[@KromaQee]

I ended up returning my 2019 e-tron. It ended up being a lemon sitting in the shop over 40 days in less than a year. Problems included: - Leaky sunroof - charging compartment seal problems (took two stays at dealership to diagnose. I eventually had to diagnose via Google for them) - AC didn't work (took 3.5 weeks to fix) - Car randomly wouldn't start It was fun to drive, but had SO many issues and the randomly wouldn't start. The terrible efficiency and anemic range didn't help, but didn't end up being the deal breaker. Sound system was really nice though. Good luck!!!

[@nmocini]

Just bought myself a used 2019 Audi etron -I love this video - captures my excitement around the purchase. I am so happy with the etron - upgraded from a leaf SL plus. Getting my ceramic tint installed next week - also in Colorado! :D

[@conrado800]

What an upgrade!!!

[@MrAlfable]

2019 Edition One owner here, other than some software quirks and not being crazy about my local dealership, zero complaints, very much love my ride. Hope it works well for you and as a foster transport!

[@jwardell]

Thank you leaving in all the random distractions, reactions, and comments from the whole family, it’s why I love your videos. Especially all the CT stuff

[@stuartdrummond]

Alyssa is the best. More of her please! And congrats on the Etron :) Was very surprised to hear you sold the Model 3!

[@tonymiele2870]

Congrat's on the Etron - I've had my 2019 P etron for 2.5 years. My seasonal mi/kWh averages are winter 2.1 (w/19"winter tires), 2.5 spring, 2.6 summer and 2.3 fall on 21" wheels. Last winter I did 2.2 with the new software update. Enjoy your trip back home. I would be interested if you are going home on I-80 through the Penn. mountains.

[@RooKooRarr]

"it's a Saab story!" - Kyle is already making his own Dad jokes. Is he in training? 😉

[@Bzzap83]

Thanks for sharing another interesting segment of your EV experiences, and the benefits of living online. It’s fun to get hints how you make this work! The e-tron looks like a great car, but with all the emphasis on specs it seems to fall short of spectacular, but owners sound like they love them! Every EV has it’s strengths & weaknesses - its all a matter of what you like & how you use it! Thats why I enjoy Alyssa’s commentary so much. Thanks!

[@michaelgreen6268]

Congrats Alyssa, So happy for you on the amazing Vehicle, You will enjoy all the special options!!!!

[@DS6781]

Congrats on the E-Tron! We recently purchased a 2021 E-Tron with 7k miles, absolutely fantastic car so far. Huge fan of the channel, keep up the great work!!

[@PeterGregg]

I always thought Alyssa was disinterested most of the time, but she shines in this video. And she probably seemed so disconnected before because Kyle is more than a big handful to deal with, really highly intense lol. Love Kyle, but she needs to do some videos without him in the vicinity lol. Alyssa, after all this time, I've finally seen some cool personality coming out of you - big thumbs up girl. Kyle I so love you, but she is a sweetheart too 😊 👍👍👍

[@goldvideo]

You are spot-on Peter!

[@rosmarin2438]

Ssssssssimp!

[@KarimNanji]

She did do a video without him. It was with her sister. Wish I could remember which one of their channels it's on. Look for it. You'll enjoy watching it.

[@fr9714]

HUD cars are impressive to me. Loved it when I saw it on a courtesy BMW nearly a decade ago.

[@sxates]

Congrats on the new e-tron! I have basically the identical spec (just without the illuminated seat belts), and your earlier videos on the e-tron really turned me on to buying one. It's been great for road trips- not the longest range, but the car's range outlasts my wife's bladder range, so we'd be stopping anyway!

[@dan19120]

Congrats Alyssa! Nice car can't wait to see all the awesome work you do with this.

[@ba177ba18]

So blessed to have a family like yours.. They are all cool

[@beachbumis]

I love when the family is involved in your videos. Great car, looking forward to the Macan EV.

[@matimoonhoney5606]

👍 and the girl is so pacient 😅

[@richardh3587]

I’ve kind of secretly wanted either this or an Ipace for several years now. Missed the boat on both of them (remember when you coujd get either for 15-20 off). I know both are considered kind of uncool by EV enthusiasts due to the low range and efficiency but overall they are still the most appealing EVs to me overall. Glad that Alyssa got what she wanted instead of something that EV nerds consider cool.

[@youferrer]

I had an I Pace. It's a better around town car than the Audi, but, and these are big: 1: Buggy software on 1st gens made it unusable, 2: Not a trip car as the charging curve was terrible. But if you get a later year and use it for weekly driving, it's really nice. It's quick, handles well, stylish, and well equipped. Mine was a 1st year and the software killed it for me, so I traded it for a Taycan. If the software were better, I would have kept it.

[@RobBudge]

And the Ipace is built by Magna Steyr, proud sponsor of OoSM!☺️

[@richardh3587]

@@youferrer Nice! The Taycan is my current "dream car", but a bit out of my budget (the minimum spec i'd be happy with comes to 110k). Currently have a Range Rover Sport so am very familiar with the slow/buggy infotainment system that you had in your ipace. I test drove a 22 in the fall with the newer system and it is so much better. We rarely take road trips longer than about 150 miles in 1 day, but yeah, the slow DC charging speed is a bit annoying (though they may have improved it slightly over the years). The real deal killer on the Ipace may be that they are very hard to find now and custom orders can take upwards of 8 months. In contrast, the local audi dealer has about 20 etrons in stock with no dealer markups. Still, my heart is w/ the i-pace. I just can't seem to get excited about the newer mainstream EVs like the Ioniq5, EV6 or Mach-E.

[@youferrer]

@@richardh3587 Agreed. The I-Pace was a really nice CUV, much better than those mentioned. But 8 months! When I got mine, they couldn't give them away. I don't know if you have had a chance to drive the I-Pace but it's surprisingly good. The 0-60 is like a sports car.

[@richardh3587]

@@youferrer yes! Got a chance to drive it and loved the handing and acceleration. Also loved the seats - very similar to my Range Rover sport and so much better than most other cars on the market

[@andrewcooke8014]

Great content! Lovely to see you guys together. Looking forward to more videos in the new car.

[@bmorton2]

I have almost the same spec, same year. Mine has the towing package. I love it. One recommendation. I got the windshield tinted. Ceramic 80%. It really helps.

[@PeterGregg]

That 220 plug looks like it has oxidation build-up. Steel brush it or fine sandpaper it so the contact is full and will be cooler too. Varnish buildup is common 😊 Thumbs up 👍👍

[@AtlasAir767CA]

Congratulations!! Look forward to upcoming videos on it

[@stufarmer3084]

On one hand, I’m sad to see the M3 go because of the all the memories, but boy oh boy am I excited to see what changes you make to the e tron and where you guys take it!

[@rival-slays]

Damn 60-70k for 200mi range is a tough pill to swallow

[@geraldorigo8854]

Great car, I have a 2021 Prestige. It was Kyle’s early videos with the E-Tron roadtrips that convinced me to get one. So far it has been great, the charge curve really saves the “lack of range”. With anything, it is how you drive the vehicle, with the recent software updates you should get some more range in the early e-trons. Hope to see a new 70mph range test with this car and see what they get. Excited for more content!l

[@philorgneopolotin8762]

Is the charging really that great on it? In the video they mentioned it only maxed out at 150kW on the best charger possible, how long would it take to say go from 0-80%? I’m honestly surprised it’s so low considering even a car almost half the price like the ioniq5 maxes out at almost double the charging rate.

[@realev21]

@@philorgneopolotin8762 The charge maxes out at 150kW and then stays at 150 KW until 85%. There are no dips and valleys. It beats faster charging cars because it averages out at 150kW instead of the faster ones that go to 225 kW or whatever and then fall off a cliff at 30% charge. Even going into 100% the etron is still pulling strong (no not 150 kW :) )

[@amg5619]

Congrats! E-Tron is one of my favs! Enjoyed the Dad commentary!

[@Cjdergrosse]

“That was not fast, did you floor it?” Haha 😂

I have an etron and a polestar. I love both. But the etron's ride is simply amazing.

[@venom5809]

[@mrmuds8624]

Nice choice guys!! Do you know if Audi allow you to spec a new one with the same kit? Or have they culled the options like they have here in the UK?

[@kingpreetham]

Beautiful car, should have picked one up in 2019 as well.

[@Ducatista189]

I'm an Audi guy. I know they are more money and as far as tech goes, not the leading edge, but when you drive one, you get it. Audi just drives better than nearly anything else out there. Also fun fact, I've driven that car as a loaner. I live in Lincoln, NE and Audi Omaha has given me that car as a loaner twice. great car

[@OutofSpecReviews]

That's awesome! Yes this was a loaner originally for them - funny that you drove it!

[@MYJ61]

Congratulations Alissa!! I hope you really enjoy your new car. I’m a bit envious, even though I love my i3 too.

[@realev21]

Kyle and Alyssa, congratulations! You will LOVE the etron. It is heavy and NOT efficient, but my goodness does it drive well. And it is a road trip beast. At three years old it still charges better than anything on the road outside of the Taycan. Enjoy the car. I know that you are car people above being Tesla people, but I think that you will be impressed. You will also get tired of people (including Tesla drivers) coming up to you and asking if it is really an Audi, because they had no idea that Audi makes EV's.

[@maxdbunny]

I just recently got a 2019 e-tron in the same spec (Manhattan Grey). Had 8400 miles on it. I too passed on an e-tron when no one wanted one as well. So far I’m loving mine! Can’t wait to see more content with the e-tron! I’m on board with your moms comment about the Porsche Macan EV. Just sold my Macan S.

[@motluv]

Have any of the updates changed the regenerative braking? When I test drove one, it required pushing a button EVERY time it stopped to turn on regen.

[@omelvold]

Great choice! I have a 2019 with 40k miles on it that has held up very well. No major issues. Love the comfort, the “all road” capability and the flat charging curve. 🤩 For better efficiency and even better comfort, consider some 20 inch wheels which are also narrower. The stock S-Line and Dynamic design wheels in this size are actually OK. Will you be using the flexible partition net or some kind of cage for the dogs? Or, just let them loose in there.. 🐶

[@theoosalyssa1158]

We are looking into a vario cage for the car. Now that we have space for cages we would really like to have them safer in the car. 🎉

[@angryGTS]

I love my 2022 e-tron! I do regularly get better than 150kw at a fast charger which is kind of surprising but I did get an update at the dealer for my 10,000 mile service. I believe I've seen up to 175kw shown on the car.

would you get higher trim 2019 premium plus/prestige or a premium 2021? both CPO

[@jmoranretana]

Etron only disadvantage is range (which is not a minor thing) but if your routine is compatible with it, it is a great car, I love the built quality and suspension.

[@michelmasse6225]

I own a Tesla Y performance + and I really like the the shift-stick on the column instead of the center console. Much easier for parking in tight spots and back and forth operation. I owned 2 Audi S5 Cab and I would have traded my 2018 for the E-Tron coupé, it’s absolutely gorgeous but pricy!

[@roozsahrai]

Thanks for the great video. How is the ride comfort on this car vs. Model Y and X? I'm still deciding on my next EV.

[@edwgarci]

It was a really good video with your family! I love it!

[@ThatKnockLife]

Are the dogs going in the backseat or the trunk? the prestige is amazing. I love the ambient lighting, extended thigh on the seats, acustic glass windows, and the sun shades in the back... and those rims on the 2019 look way better than the rims on the 2022. I bought a 2022 E Tron at the very end of 2021 and got it at MSRP, but I wish I knew about the PRESTIGE at the time lol.... I got the premium and love it. Mine is that Cyon Beige with blacked out wheels and blacked out badges and grille. Congratulations!

[@pa60pilot]

We bought a 2022 e-tron about three months ago. First EV, and we enjoy it so much, we have an order placed whenever Porsche decides to build us a Taycan.

[@Fahrenheit53]

Does it have the Matrix headlights? Audi shipped them on some trims but deactivated the matrix function. Now that it has been approved Audi can activate that function on the E-trons that have it. I hope the VW Buzz comes with matrix headlights in 2024!

Back in 2019, I was looking for the ultimate relaxation/isolation car for my retired parents and loved the etron prestige, but we were scared away by the low range. This was before I found your channel and learned about charging curve. I wished we had bought this as these were heavily discounted back then. Oh well.

Do Etron has similar battery size to ID4 ? And how’s break performance of these two vehicles compared to mainstream EV’s

[@Ficon]

Welcome to the club, the best-kept EV secret. Got my 2021 before the prices went crazy and after rebates and some negotiations paid much less than Model Y money for it. Very curious what you get in your efficiency and range testing -- my personal best is 27.6 kWh/100 mi, lifetime average 41 kWh/100 mi with a lot of very cold winter driving. Lower ride height in sport mode seems to be good for about 10% better efficiency at highway speeds. You can get even lower in Eco but it's too soft for bad US roads and can hit bump stops.

[@jacobmedders4030]

Where’s the rest of the road trip?!

[@realev21]

Just hear Kyle say that he does not think that the etron does in route battery pre conditioning. It does not need to. That is the beauty of the FAT etron's amazing BMS. It does not need to precondition when rolling into a DC fast charger. For preconditioning at home, obviously, you just hit the cabin preconditioning button. Exceptionally useful in cold weather.

[@oscarmartinez6918]

Can you describe your buying and working with dealer to arrive to an OTD price?

[@dearbulls]

3.1 is not bad. It's what I got with my id4 AWD. Maybe I got lead foot issue 🤣

[@UnnDunn]

I recently rented a 2021 Audi E-tron for a week. The charging curve on this thing is fantastic. I was pulling 180-190kW from 10-75% SoC. 150kW at 80%, 120kW around 87-89% and dropping to around 80kW all the way to like 98%. We pulled into a 350kW EA charger with about 14% SoC, and barely had enough time to get McDonald’s before it was at 90+% and I worrying about idle fees. Definitely the fastest-charging EV I’ve ever driven.

[@KekszNET]

Question is what will it do with the battery on a long run.
