It is very good to finally
It is very good to finally see a production E-Tron Audi, and i hope that there are many other E-Tron models to follow. But it has been way too long in coming, and I am not sure if it would have come out now if it weren't from the push of Dieselgate losing sales, and the pull from Tesla stealing sales. Interestingly, Audi learned quickly from Mercedes to not announce the E-Tron's driving range, although they are probably comparable. Audi is also not listing the vehicle weight. Jaguar was smart, being the first of the big European automakers to release a long range BEV with their impressive iPace. The iPace looks smaller (and lighter) than the E-Tron crossover, and Mercedes BEV. The Mercedes and Audi BEVs are definitely targeting Tesla's Model X, closely matching weight, size, and price. Since the European Marques mostly owned the near-luxury/performance sedan, coupe, and SUV markets for so long, they have a strong reputation for build quality and excellent engineering. So it is a smart move to state that these new EVs are simply Audis, BMWs, Mercedes, Jaguars, and Porsches that have electrical drivetrains, and stand on their reputations. As much as I like Tesla's Model S, I am sorely tempted by the Taycan because of Porsche's decades of experience in engineering excellent automobiles.
