    I watched every Q8 e-tron video on UA-cam and thought I was very informed until I saw your video. Your specific detailed information answered a lot of my questions that were not discussed anywhere. Audi should use your video in place of the owner’s manual. I just took delivery of a new 2024 Q8 e-tron and love it so far. The best non-EV looking EV on the market. Keep up the great work and thanks!

    Great videos as always. Currently looking to finalize on an SQ8 e-tron. Unfortunately the ride height has me unsure. There was no ICE at the dealer to compare. How much lower do you find the Q8/SQ8 E-tron sit vs the ICE Q8/SQ8? Wondering if the highest setting on the air suspension on the Q8/SQ8 e-tron get it close to the ICE. Coming out of an X5 so hoping for something that is similar.

    Emily, your video presentation was excellent. I learned a ton of new to me information., And, you presented it in a very interesting way. As a result, I subscribed to your channel. I look forward to your future ones, especially on the 2025 model year A6 EV Sportback and the A6 EV Avant (which so many of us in the U.S. are hoping Audi soon confirms its arrival here. Thanks again for a great job.

    The brown color looks a lot darker than it did in the Audi video. Is that due to lighting or the camera or does it also look darker in person aswell?

    Hi Emily, my first time seeing one of your videos. Wow, you are a real treasure and I don’t mean of just information. You’re a really cool chick! :D “Liked” the video at 2 mins in, “Subscribed” at 4 mins in. I’m a fan! Just bought my 2019 e-tron two months ago, kept my ‘17 Q7 Prestige bc it’s so nice and bc of the crazy cool options it has. 4-wheel steering, night vision, forgot the name of the leather seat option but it was $4K. Next up, the SQ8 e-tron, you sold me on it!

    Love both of these EV's but would love to see more range + 800v vehicles. I don't understand why the Volkswagen group doesn't offer Hybrids into its lineup of vehicles across the board? Only Porsche seems to offer one (I believe the Panamera) that's about it but I think an offering to the Q8 also Q4 would be great to have a hybrid engine variant on sale in the U.S. market. JMO 😂 Love the video very interesting and informative.

      Hello! Audi will have the A6 sedan first. The the "plan" as I have been told is that the A4 will come later. Likely 2026 or later. But this can always change.

    Good video as always. It’s really a shame that Audi is wasting all the time, energy and money into a technology that will not be viable long term. It would make more sense if they had a limited amount of EV’s and continued with their regular fossil fuel lineup as that is still the future whether anyone likes or agrees. The achilles heel of EV’s is starting to manifest itself more each day and sales will continue to fall as the drawbacks and real impact on our environment is revealed.

    • @emilytheaudinerd
      @emilytheaudinerd  11 місяців тому +6

      Thank you! I am glad we at least have the option. And if you are really searching for an EV regardless of the news and such, it is a great car. But Audi is NOT doing away with their gas engines. This is just another option available. Much like how we used to get the choice between gas and diesel...oh I do wish we still got the diesels.

      Porsche Taycan updated model has them charging at 330+ kw with over 450 miles of range now. EV charging stations are becoming increasingly more common and way, way faster than before. Where I live at least, it seems that EV’s are the only logical option. All of this tech hits the less expensive brands within a couple years. Kia/Hyundai was neck and neck with Porsche for charging speed up until their new Taycan that is being tested currently.

      Mir ist mein Diesel auch viel lieber als ein Elektroauto. Mit mein 73 Liter Tank habe ich 1150 Km Reichweite geschafft. Daß ist für mich das beste Argument nicht umzusteigen auch wenn der sq8 etron gut aussieht. Der übrigens dir gut steht.
      Ach noch eins das Elektrofahrrad lass lieber, für echten Spaß auf 2 räder nehme lieber eine Dukati oder eine BMW r12 ninet, KTM, Honda CBR 1000rr-r fireblade. Kawasaki HR2 210ps und 400 km/h schnell vor der habe so ich Angst sie zu fahren, das ist der ritt auf der Kanonenkugel 😢
