- Thanks to Audi Shrewsbury for tossing the keys to this brand new 2021 e-tron EV. Find their beautiful showroom and inventory on their website www.audishrews...
The e-tron is a refreshing EV experience. Instead of being packed with gadgets to distract from driving, the Audi is actually enjoyable to drive. The steering, throttle, and brakes feel familiar and tactile. The chassis is rigid and handles like a vehicle designed by experienced engineers.

Are there any EV's that interest you as a Commuter or even as a fun weekender? Thanks to my Patreon Supporters for making this content possible, and of course to Audi Shrewsbury for tossing me the keys to the e-tron
A Miata type electric car with around 250bhp and same amount of torque would be fun to thrash around!
@@kickbuttowskii Agreed...I'm really looking forward to EV roadsters
Looking forward to the Mustang Mach-E. Seems like it'll be a similar package to this Audi at a much lower price. I just wish they weren't calling it a Mustang and gave it it's own brand. See if you can get your hands on one once they start coming in.
The only one I'd love to be seen around in is the Hummer EV. Nothing else in the EV market interests me.
@@RyanRoadReaper I've got my eye on Rivian
My mom spent 14 years behind the wheel of a Nissan Maxima, first a 2007 and then a 2016. She just picked up a new X5...lord help us.
haha show her where the turn signals are before she forgets!
We have a new X6, same as an X5. It's the best car in SUV class in my opinion!
dont show her the sport button
Hope she got the V8, momma gonna have some fun :)
Congrats on X5 tho :)
@@miloskujovic I got the inline 6, still incredibly fun for a big SUV.
"Tesla Model 3 drivers are the new Nissan Maxima drivers" OMGGG
I think this quote pinpoints all of the dislikes on the video 😂
There's so much truth here
:O
That’s probably because a lot of people buying EV’s aren’t enthusiasts and never been on a track or just buy it for status or some other dumb reason. They drive like that because they’re shitty drivers to begin with. I’ve driven Porsches on the track and learned about the physics involved and how to drive on a track. I don’t have the need to act like a boy racer and try to show off or be a reckless douche.
"Uh, unless you have other issues you need to address..." Appreciate your dark humor, Ted.
As an Audi guy I might be a bit biased, but this is a killer alternative to the Tesla, hope it's tech finds a way into more Audi platforms.
Audis are cars you can buy that are good at everything. Best interiors on the market, and have been for decades now. I’d happily invest in Audi EV technology because I trust their engineers over Tesla’s or others.
I want to switch to electric in the next couple of years, but there is not a Tesla to be found on my wanted list. I'd get this and either an E-tron GT, a Taycan, or wait for the A6 E-tron to hit the market.
@Kzn Nzn *bmw. Mercedes interior looks better, quality wise isn't.
I hate the tesla interior, rather have this.
I agree. I’m not anti Tesla but my god are they cheap inside
@Pleasantly Rusty About 90% of the company cars where I work are Tesla's. Please don't let one negative experience with some fanboys at a car show ruin it for you and start hating all Tesla drivers.
@@nielsvandenkieboom5034 It's a combination of actions of the company itself and rather toxic owners. I'm very happy Lucid will make a real American luxury EV.

I have a model 3 performance, and it is definitely a struggle to not spontaneously be a total wanker in traffic. It's like you've got a preloaded slingshot at your foot at all times. Everything I do right now is get out of other people's way as quickly as possible so I can just cruise in the right lane and mind my own business.
The build quality is definitely, notably lower than other cars at the price point. I also have an E90 3 series and the build quality difference is stark. The way the panels are finished around the doors between the two vehicles is particularly noteworthy. While I can cut myself on the hemmed inner metal edge of the rear door of the model 3 if I try, the 3 series has an extra coating that runs along the hem to prevent passengers from getting scraped when grabbing the door, and to make the two panels of the door structure more watertight. The door "clunk" also highlights that build quality difference. Tesla's sounds relatively flimsy but the E90 sounds rock solid after 10 years of ownership. I also have an E39 and those doors don't sound as solid as the E90's. They sound heavier, more substantial, but panels in that car feel looser.
The model 3 is still my favorite daily driver by a loooooooooong shot, but you can definitely see where the bulk of the build cost went. I'm looking forward to luxury manufacturers continuing to catch up with EV drivetrain tech. The lower build quality is definitely something I notice, but it just doesn't bother me enough to care. When I bought the E90, I NEVER thought that my next car would be an electric car with plastic seats.
Wow my neighbor has that car!
Not a car I would typically look at but this was interesting to learn about and see the details of it.
Same. It was exciting to drive a normal feeling car with an electric powertrain
Not a fan of SUVs in general but this thing is really nice
It really is. Quieter than a Rolls Royce in motion. All the torque you'd need. And decent radar cruise control
I will say - it’s nice to see some more experienced automakers like Audi tackling EV’s in a more traditional way. The build quality of this alone would draw me to it over any Tesla. I don’t mind the classic Audi styling overall, but those they’re shooting themselves in the foot in terms of interior aging with those dual touchscreens. But they probably figure these things are leased anyway. In terms of EV’s in general, yes, they make a lot of sense as daily drivers given the way 99% of people drive so long as the range is adequate. But as fun enthusiast cars driven to be enjoyed, I’m still not quite convinced. I need more than just instant torque and extremely flat handling to enjoy a driving experience. If one day I HAD to have an electric daily driver and a second fun gas car, though, I’d do it.
AUDI did not Engineer the e-TRON , its 80% made by a Battery OEM.
AUDI does NOT understand Electric cars.

So serene it's hard to believe. This is awesome, but I miss the old rumbling/purring. Well done, a nice listening experience.
The VW Group makes some solid vehicles in my opinion. Sure they might be more on the pricey side, but seriously, their cars are pretty good. In retrospect, my grandfather always owned at least one VW... He currently has an Arteon. Man I love that car.
As a tall driver 6'5" with 2 adult riders that are 6'2" we love the interior room and comfort as well as the great ride experience of our own 2021 audi e-tron quattro peremium plus. My 5'1" wife is enjoying it too :)
YOU HIT 80k SUBS
Thank you!
it's funny you bring up the tesla driver thing, had a regular mom fly by me the other day at like at least 90mph, while i was in my si and im like bro????? LOL
giving ordinary people crazy fast cars is like giving dogs thumbs...they're gonna rampage the kitchen
That's one of the biggest problems in this country, if you got the money and our one type of license, you can get 700hp car with no issue. No skills needed just get in, hit the gas pedal and potentially take a life while swiping right
I just started watching your videos , by far my new favorite car reviewer because it's so entertaining , keep up the good work !
thank you!
That exhaust note. /s
For a family oriented EV, this nearly tops the list. Audi interiors are incredibly well put together and the MMI & Virtual cockpit is definitely worth the price of admission.
The other EV I look forward to is the Polestar 2. I personally can't stand Teslas or their toxic fanbase myself.
I can't wait until we have solid options in the $30k range. It will be a lot easier to pull the trigger on an EV daily
Why does it have paddle shifters? Don’t electric cars have no “transmission”?
correct. I honestly do not know...the downshift paddle might just engage regen so it feels like engine drag. I didn't play with it long enough to figure that out
You can set the regen or 'engine braking' with the paddle shifters to change from one-pedal driving to for example just rolling when releasing the accelerator.
I bought a 22 Tesla Model 3 Performance. It's not that audacious. Very few people know what it is. So far, nobody has talked to me about it. The steering is as quick and as responsive as you can handle. I think you are missing an important point. Tesla has an advantage not knowing how to build a common "car". My Tesla handles like something entirely new, phenomenal! That's because they started completely clean slate and designed an incredible handling and performing machine, "from the ground up". The weight is so low and so evenly balanced front to back, it's a HUGE impact upon cornering characteristics. Changes to steering can be dialed in by the user. Although Tesla isn't perfect it's totally amazing. They got the important stuff incredibly well engineered. The stuff that isn't perfect, I'm taking care of and it's not much at all. It's surprisingly tight and well built. Finally in 2022 they are doing a good job with assembly on top of incredible design engineering. When I want a relaxing commuter ordinary drive, my car does that. When I want crazy performance, it can do that too. The choice is up to the driver.
I wanna drive my rumbling C63 all the time. Sitting in traffic I love feeling it rumbling ever so slightly beneath me. I might even like to feel and hear it a bit more at low/no speed (poly engine mounts and headers 😏) I may be low key stressed out cause I can barely afford it, but the way it makes me grin ear to ear when it's ripping and snorting and popping off down shifts is SO worth it 🥰
Nobody cared dude 😂
Carving mountain roads in Switzerland? 👋🏻
Great work! I really enjoy it
Thank you!
Love your driving impression reviews! It'd be great to see you review a 2021 model 3 performance or something similar! We all know Tesla has their flaws (what car maker doesn't) but I'd love to see your take on that driving experience as a practical yet powerful family sedan nowadays. I also think people just talk about them so much because it was such a shock that a relatively affordable car comes with that level of performance and efficiency regardless of if their drivers can handle it, and no other car company has utilized tech in this day and age to the utility that they have. Other car companies are now replicating what Tesla has done but with their own expertise and it's bringing about great cars just like this E-Tron and many others. In that sense they're going to become a classic down the road... Not saying Model 3 owners should drive like they own the road because hey, gotta respect the drive :)
I loled at your introversion point. major reason i crossed that of my list
Serious question Tedward. You used to talk about the need for lobbying to protect car enthusiasts. I am totally in support of the EV revolution but I don't support governments trying to infringe on rights of gas car owners and also not allowing a small proportion of gas cars to be produced for specialty reasons. Are you thinking of doing more on this front?
I don't know that I've spoken about lobbying but I think automakers are doing a good job of selling to their market. For example SUV's are now more common than Sedans because that's what people buy. As long as people still purchase sports cars with fun powertrains I think they'll produce them. I agree that I don't want to see governments outlaw Internal Combustion Engines. I would hope they find better ways to control carbon emissions rather than put it all on the auto industry.
@@TedwardDrives Yeah I agree, I think for 95% of purposes EVs are great. Most Western countries will follow the model of banning new IC cars completely between 2030-2040, depending on where. UK and Europe will come first, then North America. I think it's an issue that we car enthusiasts need to pay attention to and make our voice heard, when governments come to outlawing production of a small percentage of gas cars that would have a tiny impact on emissions. I think even allowing hybrids to continue are important (and also for people who don't live in houses and have easy access to charging)
I’m pretty sure an e-tron is my next vehicle. Tesla is opening up their Superchargers, and companies are about to introduce NACS/CCS adapters. That takes care of the charging infrastructure problem, and the lack of range the e-tron has will no longer be a real issue.
Its really nice that they didn’t try to make it weird and ugly like everyone else does with ev’s. It just looks like a normal audi.
I got to test drive a Polestar 2 in NYC so much fun, I think you should do a video.
Hoping to get into more EV's over the next year for sure
POLESTAR 2 is a Cheap CHINESE junk car, with less performance than a TESLA mode 3 Dual Motor .
@@markplott4820 doesnt look like you know much about cars.
@@markplott4820 good lord, man. Are you Elon himself using a hidden account? That would actually be kind of funny. You’ re absolutely RAGING on every comment bashing any and everything that’s not Tesla. Even subjective opinions on handling and style preferences. It’s cool to like what you like, and by all means, this is a great place to discuss pros and cons. You’re not wrong to prefer Teslas, but neither is another guy for having different priorities or preferences. Take it down a knot have and CONVERSE with people instead of shouting at them that any opinion other than yours is garbage.
@@I_Santos_ - IF , other CAR makers would make GREAT Electric cars to begin with , then I would have NOTHING to say........but thats not REALITY.
I'm all for EVs for commuting and grocery getting tbh. And the safety features in cars help with the stress of non-recreational driving as well.
NOTHING in the WORLD is safer than a TESLA , period.
I’d rather have the E-tron over the Tesla. Great customer service and has 3 screens 💖 also it’s always a Prius 😅
Odd, the end of the video cuts you off in mid sentance
Not for me...last word is hazy. end of sentence
I’m offended by the Nissan Maxima/Model 3 drivers! I’ve owned both (1991 Maxima and 2019 Model 3). I use blinkers and drive conservatively in traffic and around others. LOL! There, that’s out of the way. That said, I do love the power delivery of the Audi over the Tesla. I also owned a Model Y and sold it. Didn’t want to have two Teslas and just like you said, my son was driving the Y and he’s 16...no bueno. Sold it to get him a Niro PHEV. Now I’m looking for the replacement for my Model 3 and the Audi is tops on my list. Was going to buy this over the 3 when it originally came out, but range was very low, and there were issues with the charging function, causing possible fires, so Audi stopped selling them in the very beginning. Now that they have that worked out, this is a winner! Now having owned EVs for 2 years, range is not as important as I thought it was. Even going on long trips with my Teslas (600 miles plus) I’m stopping every 1.5 hours at max anyway, which is about every 100 miles, so don’t really need more than 200 miles of range in total. And, from what I’m seeing, the Audi charging speed is better than the TESLA. Tesla has a max speed it’ll charge at, but you rarely get it, and when you do, it’s at that rate for very short times. The Audi can sustain that 150kw charging rate for a much longer time, filling up faster. That was there sales pitch in the beginning and I didn’t buy it. But, now I agree with them. Great review. And, let’s get it straight, EVs are NOT GOOD for the environment...they are just less bad. It’s like comparing cigars and cigarettes...both are terrible, one is less terrible...I like them more for the power delivery smoothness. Don’t care for modern small engines with turbos where there is a lot of lag (yes, even in Porsche 911s and their 6 cylinder turbos unless you get the 911 Turbo or Turbo S for 150k+ - I’ve owned Porsches).
Thank god they got rid of those stupid digital side-mirrors from first gen(2020)
They were never legal in the US so we only ever got these mirrors here
Great video! totally agree with your thoughts about EVs
Love your style of videos man, keep up the great work! To your point about Teslas being a conversation piece, that also depends where you live - here in SoCal, a Tesla is what you buy to blend in! They’re so common that no one really goes out of their way to ask about my Model 3 here haha. I could see it being a factor for introverts in other areas though!
6:44 you won't burn a bunch of fuel to warm up the interior but you will use up a bunch of electricity, which was produced in a coal burning power station. Smart.
ngl, as a person that loves ICE cars, I wouldn't mind this or Honda E for my daily commute. Quiet & Comfy, it doesn't tease you into modifying it. I'm kinda thinking about getting a daily electric car at some point, not sure when yet. But like you say, it's less things to worry about, you just get into it and you drive. Can't do same with my project car lol
Imagine if your daily required NO attention...Your project would get done sooner. But we still have do maintenance on our beaters which takes away from the real projects
@@TedwardDrives agreed! That's the only reason why I'm leaning towards EV! I like the comfy feel of my mum's daily, quiet, it doesn't make you wanna flooring everywhere you go, it's just a daily haha
With my car, you constantly wanna hear it, so it sips fuel, isn't as comfy on very long journeys (it's fine, but a bit bumpy haha), and my car breaks down sometimes, small things usually, but can be annoying!
Tedward,
If you're ever in los angeles, let me know. Id be more than happy to let you review my 2021 audi s6
Thanks Hussein!
I am trying to like electric cars but without a lovely exhaust/engine noise, I can't do it.
Moved before the Tesla invasion, but during my masspike and route 95 years I definitely dodged many a Maxima cowboy, usually with Rhode Island or New Jersey tags
VAG have a loyal customer base, so when they produce an EV, it may not have the longest range, but the tolerance of the Taycan or E Tron battery is something like 10%. A Tesla is 1/2%, meaning the Porsche and Audi aren’t being stressed out constantly when charging or discharging. It’s the same engineering principle as to why elevators are rated at carrying 8 people but they are actually engineered to carry 14. They are aiming for long term reliability with the battery packs as opposed to range, it probably explains why the Audi does much better in cold conditions than Tesla’s. Audi need this car to work for millions of people where as people buy Tesla’s knowing they are a niche, beta technology with shortcomings, with little to no reliability reputation to uphold.
7:02 . An ICE could have that function too. Signal it with your phone to start the car 2 minutes before you drive off. But yes in a garage it could be an issue.
Also if you get a check engine light every month then you need to buy a batter car. I have a mitsubishi L300/Delica Turbo diesel van with an aftermarket intercooler for more horsepower. Its making about 160HP . Currently it has 300.000 miles. I've replaced the clutch ONLY once at 180.000 miles. It gets aproximatelly 30MPG which is good for such an old car. Also since its a diesel it got plenty of torque down the low. I can overtake at 4th speed without downshifting and when going slow i don't even have to use the clutch. It can slowly crawl at 400RPM without using the gas and clutch pedal. If i want to pull i just hit the gas. It got some serious torque down the low. I am talking 500RPM at 2nd gear pulling on a hill (off roading not on road). Of course you got the oil and filter changes which gives the electrics an advantage. But still, is changing a filter at your home that big of a task?
What i think is that car manufacturers don't make gas cars reliable on purpose(filters and oils aside). And i think thats how it will go for electric cars too. A gear from the instant torque will break, a sensor will fail, the inverter will burn etc.
I think if we develop diesel engines even more and use biodiesel which reduces the carbon dioxide by A LOT, they will be a good replacement for gas engines from all prespectives. Gas engines are better at making high end power though
I live in a country where electric cars are sold through grey market, and they are extremely rare. This must be common sense but for every electric car, do the charging port doors stay shut when you press the button and the keys are out of range?
i agree with your quote on tesla drivers, in L.A , ever since the model 3 had gotten cheaper with the tax credit and ev reward program , the teens driving it have been very aggressive on it , they’re becoming the new prius drivers 😭 . it’s mostly the owners of model 3 , barely seen any bad model s or x drivers .
I see that this Audi E-tron has regular mirrors and not those camera ones that were so problematic
I don't think the camera ones are even legal in the US, but they looked like a total pain to use
@@TedwardDrives yes they were according to owners mostly in Europe
Wouldn’t it make sense to put transmissions in electric cars so you can get better range
Porsche already have. The Taycan has a 2 speed gearbox for both efficiency and high end speed. The upcoming Audi E Tron GT (based of the Taycan) also has a gearbox.
@tedward what is the deal with the cold and the range with the electric and especially with e-tron? and how can you tell your car from your phone to warm up the cabin?
He didn’t say a thing after that 0-60 or anything about it LMAOOOO
EV with PADDLE SHIFTERS!
damn I hate that I like it. I mean it wont replace a twin turbo v8 but its cool for a day or two.
Why is the range so bad?
Mk4 mk4
Yes. You know the way
Do you think performance cars will die off with the development of EVs? Or do you thing they can replicate the visceral experience of downshifts and finding the power band well enough to have enthusiasts want an electric car?
I hope they don't try to make EV's feel like ICE cars. I want them to be their own honest driving experience. A fake downshift would drive me nuts lol. As long as they have great steering, suspension, and brakes I think folks will adopt performance EV's as "real cars".
@@TedwardDrives at that point do you think ICE will become so irrelevant that they stop making parts and consumables such as gas and oil? Or will those still be made for a long time but on a smaller scale for enthusiasts and people who can’t get an EV yet?
why i feel the interior is designed by a toyota designer?
It looks like a car, not a phone
It's not that i dislike electric cars for being electric, I like that new technology, its pretty cool and i admire the torque you can get from them, but it is the fact they are threatening to completely replace ICE cars, not because they are better in every way but because they are seen as better for the environment when that isn't always true, I would rather a world where they co exist.
Great Video as always, but I'm interested about your Views on EV sustainability. My own research from the British Royal Society of Chemistry shows that Lithium and Cobalt are both at the highest level of global supply risk. So do you think EVs are a viable long term solution?
I'm honestly not smart enough to have that conversation on a macro scale. I think its wise to have diversification of fuels though. I love the idea that the solar panels on my house can charge my car if there were a disruption in gasoline supplies
Don't worry, the next battery technology which will make your car able to go 326413798570891437820934 miles on a quarter of a charge is coming out tomorrow, I've been hearing about it for years so it must be on its' way, trust me the technology will be released any second now. It will be made entirely without any Lithium or Cobalt but exclusively from recycled diapers or something. If we don't get the technology tomorrow then we should probably focus on diversification of fuels indeed, for example Bentley using biofuels in their GT3 cars deserves more attention than EVs as long as EVs are luxury items and are far from being ready to take over in the future.
Kilowatt to Kilowatt, an EV is no more efficient than a combustion engine. Aside from oil in changes, the big difference in the running costs is that the government is not taxing electricity at ~25% as they do gas or (sometimes more) diesel fuel. Historically politicians have hesitated taxing they way people heat their homes. When gas tax revenues fade with the rise of EV's -- how long do you think that this will continue? When some claim that EVs are "emissions free", this is false. All that you are doing is transferring your emissions to your local power utility. Unless they are nuke, they are emitting emissions. Wind and solar are not widespread enough to count for much. Still a nice car though.
My house runs entirely on solar. If I plugged an ev into my home it would be running off the sun.
@@TedwardDrives touche'.
So quiet I’m kinda unnerved
Slowly but surely I'm accepting the fact that eventually it will be all electric and heavy taxes will exist for combustion motor vehicles etc. I'm okay with it if it's cheaper to run but there's talks already about heavy taxes. Also there aren't many cheap electric cars, and eventually as technology improves and they've existed for a while the cheap ones will be the cars you dont want to buy as they'll have terrible range and issues. However I appreciate how quiet they are, but driving a quiet vehicle can have its downsides too, such as constantly noticing the sound of the tyres on the road. Tyre noise is terrible.

It’s nice but!! My Tesla Model Y Performance will dog walk this Audi LOL 😂 especially my lease is only $800 a month....
Still a Tesla though.
First/last ev was a Volt. Went from being worth 45k to 11k in only two years. Biggest issue with Evs, they're so new they don't retain value. On top of that now, my new home doesn't have a garage, so yeah...can't charge. I'm betting on hydrogen. Too many issues with electric.
Hydrogen will be very cool. I haven’t driven one yet. It definitely seems to be the cleanest concept right? Air in water out.
@@TedwardDrives Yeah, and most likely for big fuel companies to invest in as you pump it like gas into the gar. Infrastructure is already there.
It's bad when everybody is going to have an electric car ... What about the mechanic's
Mechanics will fix older/classic cars. People will learn how to work with electricity and batteries instead. Scheduled services are a thing anyway.
7:20 lmaoooo
e-tron feels more flashy to me than a tesla lol, especially given how much more expensive it is compared to the model 3. But I also have never seen one on the road, while you see teslas every day even in a small city in sweden.
Tesla's look like average cars that movies set in the future use so they look very strange in present day. the e-tron just looks like a normal SUV to me
Why is there a flashing red light in the mirror ?
It’s not flashing, it’s an LED so it appears so on camera. It’s the compass.

Tesla's have sh*t build quality.
Nice car lousy review. Actually one of the worst reviews I had to watch
It's a completely fine car that I hate.
The electric cars are necessary the weather during covid lockdown was enough to convince me this. Even though I personally don't like not having manual control over a car.
Imo battery cars will be gone as soon as they find an efficient way of making hydrogen.
So far electric cars are luxury items. Also, if you've been to crowded places in Asia and Africa you know there's no chance any EV infrastructure will ever be built in some of the largest cities of our world. They can't even build roads there, they have constant blackouts, it's simply not possible. It's possible if we spend hundreds of billions of dollars to build that infrastructure, but that would defeat the entire purpose of EVs because it's not efficient. It would be more benefitial for the planet to just plant trees using that money, but the truth is nobody cares about the planet it's all about money. If they actually try to build EV infrastructure in the biggest cities of asia and africa then you can be 100% sure that it has nothing to do with the planet and it's just about making money from the infrastructure project.
Easy to make hydrogen cars, problem was the best hydrogen dense fuel is diesel. Lol.
@@williaminbody205 That's actually not a "problem" but a solution. Biodiesel can go a long way unlike electric cars, unless we're talking about swapping EV drivetrains into existing cars biodiesel or biofuels in general have several times as much potential for the global market. So maybe the problem is that nobody talks about the global market and every brand is mainly just trying to sell cars in europe, US, UK, china and only a couple more countries. It's pretentious as hell to talk about efficiency while completely ignoring every single market where both CO2 and fuel-efficency would make a difference, meaning the markets where people don't have enough money to buy a 100,000$ tesla or 30,000$ Egolf....

Brake by wire, the first part of the brake pedal is regen braking, no brake pads required. Anything up to 0.3g braking is regen
This is the best e-tron review I've seen
Greatly appreciated! Glad you found it. UA-cam has buried it in the search 😆
I personally think Audi creates the best electric cars together whit the VW group I really have trust in them
I'm looking forward to the Taycan
@@TedwardDrives - TAYCAN is Another PIG with Lipstick.
the car to Drive is a 2020 Model S RAVEN Performance or the 2021 Model S PLAID , which has 1100 hp, 200 mph, 0 - 60 under 2 seconds, 520+ miles Range. and NO Compromises.
@@Mrbfgray - NOPE, you can Really open up a model 3 Performance on the TRACK or on Country Roads , is corners Better than a Model S. you can Almost buy 2x model 3 for Taycan price.
@@Mrbfgray - both Blake Fuller and Randy Probst RACE the TESLA model 3 , and have ZERO issues with STEERING or Brake performance.
you can even UPGRADE the Wheels, Tires , Brakes, and Suspension , to get a SUPERIOR ride or RACING performance .
Blake Fuller took TESLA model 3 Performance to #1 place in 2020 PIKES PEAK in the STOCK Class , he was even FASTER than RANDY in a MODIFIED Tesla model 3.
so, you are COMPLETELY false.
@@Mrbfgray - looks like YOU drive a HORSE & BUGGY , I have a PERFORMANCE model Y , with 4" Lifts and 22" Off Road Tires, the ULTIMATE Rally car.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed how aggressive Maxima drivers are.
Specially the older ones. They think they're Vince from Fast and Furious or something
@@RyanRoadReaper that’s what the 3.5 SL badges mean lol
Nice but not worth the price, I prefer Mach E or Model Y
No reviews on the Mach E until the embargo is lifted and the Model Y is pretty cheap inside with the same numb driving characteristics of the 3. It's not a bad car, but its more of a gadget than a driving machine. Tesla's autopilot tech is incredible and worth taking into account when hunting for EVs
@@TedwardDrives Agree, waiting for my Mach E delivery January. Review is coming Mid Dec.
Audi Shrewsbury blessed with the repairs on my S4 😭😭 good people
this car is truly interesting i wonder if they maybe would make another electric car from the audi group using this platform
Q4 and eTron GT are coming out.
Ducks - AUDI has several e-TRON sedan planned.
but they are UNDERPOWERED compared to even the MODEL 3 Performance.
@@markplott4820 E tron do have performance line though.
Blowes my mind that you're in my area and only now am I hearing about this channel.
It’s funny that very few local to me knew about this until recently haha. Now everyone is like omg I commute on that route!!
@@TedwardDrives me and a friend of mine ever since high school will take drives all over the state, it's so cool seeing all those sneaky fun roads that we've found. If you're interested I have a Google maps list that has many of the ones we've found. Might be fun to add them to your videos.
Nice review. Let’s remember that this is an luxury SUV, not a sports car. I’t about the comfort and the 4’ of travel in the air suspension for snow. It’s the best Quattro ever because it has instant torque vectoring. It has doubled pain glass for a quiet ride.
I like it, very nice interior, normal door handles, good but not crazy power... That's what we want from a consumer electric car!
At last an EV that feels like you're driving a car, not like you're part of an experiment.
agreed...this doesn't feel like a beta product
Great video...I really like the etron...now even more so. Great build quality and love it’s design. Thanks for reviewing!
Never hated a car as much as Tesla. Extremely cheap looking interior to the point my wife and a couple of friends said it straight up!! I sold that junk and got a X5M BMW. LOVE IT. Tesla is a computer controlled car that is waaaaaaaaaay overpriced AS A MENTAL GAME to get you to think it's something special!! It's actually not anything special at all.
This Audi looks absolutely amazing and who cares about speed .... if i want I'll drive my M car ...
I would definitely get one we just need more range on that etron man , I'm definitely waiting for future updates, also let's see the new model y in 2024 , but those 2 SUVs are my favorite
Don’t forget the BMWs 😭😭😭
80k+ $$$ for for 221 miles of range??!! Nope.
Tesla is the new BMW driver attitude. Aggresive.
I'm all for EVs and the UKs plan to ban the sell of new ICE cars from 2035, but it will be a sad day when I can no longer afford to drive classics.
Do we stock up now? I'm really curious how it all plays out after 2035 with ICE cars
@@TedwardDrives id imagine petrol will go up from tax, a positive is that maybe the value of classics may go down so I can afford to buy one 😄
