    @MrANP21 3 місяці тому +373

    Ed more than likely did a 1 year, one-pay lease. The amount of upfront rebate money on the RS e-tron GT for a lease is $32,500. The one-pay lease component buys down the money factor. The residual value after 1 year (assuming 7,500 miles) and with the addition of Audi Care is 70%. When you discount the car heavily, and apply all rebates/incentives, you get a one-pay lease amount of around $3,000-$5,000 for the entire year (including tax/license fees). When he quotes a $250/month lease he is simply dividing the one-pay lease amount by 12 months to give an example of what his cost would be per month. There’s a little more to it, but everyone should now get the picture.

      @@johnhufnagelOne of the reasons for the outrageous repair costs from accidents is the huge giga casting parts of the car as well as battery packs that are structural parts of the car. This process saves money on the manufactures build cost it transfers added costs to the consumer by increased repair and insurance premiums. They are working on making the entire underbody from one single piece of cast aluminum. They claim to be working on a solution to more cheaply repair these large one piece castings but I’ve not seen any information on their progress.

      We rented a 'regular' eTron on a trip a while back. The adaptive cruise control in the Audi is nothing short of brilliant. You just have to dig around in the menus a little bit, and you'll find that you can set an 'offset' from the posted speed limit. I set it to +5.
      So, we'd be cruising along doing 50 in a 45, come up on a section posted 35, and the Audi would see the speed sign - display the sign in the gauge cluster, then...
      ...automatically slow to 40 in a 35...
      When the limit went back to 45, it would *automatically* speed back up from 40 to 50.
      The ACC in our Volvo recognizes the speed signs, but doesn't actually DO anything about it, other than flash the sign in the gauge cluster...
      Audi can actually keep you at your typical "five over" speed 100% of the time.

    I mean, dealerships have these lease programs like this because these trash heaps are "staling" out on inventory overflow lots across the country. It loses it's novelty after about 6 months and just becomes another car you'll want to trade in sooner. Honestly, there's nothing "futuristic" about a series of magnets that spins around a stick, even resurrected and rhetorically propped up on our tax dollars.
