Urgh. This popped up today. Nothing exciting happening just driving on down the road. The SOS has never been used and the light on the button on the over head is red.
Any idea how to not need to go to dealer for this??
“According to Q7 product manager Wolfgang Carl, the Q7 e-tron will likely come standard with a dual-motor setup and the option of three rows of seating.“
“Big changes are also afoot inside. The Q7 e-tron will have a completely different interior than the new gas-powered Q7 variant, with more subtle screen integration and plenty of buttons. Mohr said the company acknowledges that buyers are seeking a return to the golden era of Audi interiors, so it's likely that even the brand-new gas Q7 will be updated in time to match the EV.”
“It's a different story for the A4 e-tron, which is set to be available in both Sportback (a sedan with a big hatchback) and Avant station wagon guises — though the latter likely won't come to the U.S. The A4 is expected to be offered with single- and dual-motor configurations, and there should be a choice of battery sizes. Beyond that, Audi will likely offer a hotter S4 E-tron model. There could even be an electric RS 4 too.”
“Audi's chief technical officer, Rouven Mohr states that the electric Q7 e-tron will land in late 2027 or early 2028, while the A4 E-tron will get another six to 12 months of development time before it's introduced.”
This shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone familiar with EV’s - the range varies based on temperature, weight of driver’s foot, terrain, mood of the gods, etc.
This though, felt big. When I first bought this car from Eastern Canada in spring (read lots of snow, salt, -25C days), the range estimate at 100% was 220km. Now that the car is in sunny BC and has time to acclimate, I get 310-340km consistently.
The range feels mid, but manageable.
If you've ever wondered why you get a warning alarm and the boot lid closing while you're faffing around in the boot, it isn't that the car is randomly deciding to try and trap you. Your car has hands free boot closing which is triggered by waving your foot under the centre of the rear bumper.
Your welcome (and yes I was one of those people before I knew 😂)
This is on iPhone. I got a notification for the myAudi over a month ago, I think. I remember that notification preview was definitely marketing related, I think about something related to a slave on subscription services or something. I can't figure out how to clear this notification. I've looked at the Subscription Dashboard, News, Status, and Alerts sections. If I click the profile thing in the upper-right corner and select Subscriptions it says that the store is unreachable. I'm wondering if that is where the notification is coming from and if that's why it won't clear
Selling wall bracket for etron charger like the one on the link. Never installed. Paid about $250 after shipping and taxes. Selling for $150 OBO. DM me if interested.
I just got this done on my Q4 at a cost of more than $400 USD. There are pages and pages of things they checked, like visually inspecting the charging socket, checking the brakes, looking for corrosion, and on and on. The only things they actually did were changing the dust and pollen filter and topping up the wiper fluid.
I guess I'm not unhappy that someone gave the car a thorough once-over. But at the price it feels like a bit of a cash grab, especially for a pretty new vehicle. They call it maintenance, but it really was just an inspection. And if work had needed to be done, they'd have charged for it beyond the $400.
What do you think? Should I stop being a cheapskate and view this as good value for money?
Hey everyone,
I built Aximote with two friends over the last year. The idea is to make the data your car already has more useful while driving and easier to understand afterwards.
Last week, Aximote was approved for the Audi Store. It should now be available for compatible Audi models with Android Automotive, roughly from model year 2024 onwards.
Right now, the in-car app focuses on three driving scores that evaluate your driving style. A more detailed in-car experience with configurable live data and additional driving insights is already on its way, but Audi’s review process takes quite a while.
In the mobile app, you can already dive deeper into trips and charging sessions with detailed consumption data, temperature impact, speed limits, charging history, costs and dashboard statistics.
We also recently added CSV export, API access and a Home Assistant integration for anyone who wants to use their vehicle data outside the app.
Since Audi support is still very new for us, we would really appreciate your feedback:
You can find it as Aximote in the Audi Store, Google Play Store and App Store.
Thanks a lot!
I’ve been driving Audi wagons for the last 20 years but have been eating to go EV for some time now. Sold my Audi Exclusive “Mocha Latte” B9 Allroad and picked up this Siam Beige ‘22 Etron S Prestige a few weeks ago from Audi North Atlanta then took the long way home to CT. Installed 034 Motorsport links and APR spacers this week and am so much happier with how it sits. Loving it so far 🤌🏻 More to come!
i purchased a ppi before purchasing, battery cells were balanced, told no coolant leaks, after taking delivery about a week later and 1000 miles of driving I check the coolant reservoir to find out it’s 1/8 filled. Is this normal i cannot tell where the MIN line is
I have a 2022 Audi e-tron with about 27k miles, and like an idiot I forgot to extend the factory warranty before it expired about two months ago.
I found out the hard way that once the warranty lapses, getting an Audi Pure warranty is a lot more complicated. It requires an inspection, and from what I've been told, the dealer that does the inspection is the one that has to sell you the warranty. If I had extended it before it expired, I could've shopped around between Audi dealers.
I called Heather in Ohio, who gets recommended here a lot, and while she can't do Audi Pure now, she quoted me a Fidelity warranty.
$100 deductible
$250 deductible
Do these seem like decent prices? Just looking for some advice.
Also, let this be a reminder: if you're thinking about getting Audi Pure, don't let your factory warranty expire like I did.
EDIT: Called a dealer here for Audi Pure Platinum:
IMPORTANT!! - I was not wearing my seatbelt and apparently this triggers some sensors that make the car put itself into park at low speeds!
So yeah that's pretty much it, wondering if it's ever happened to any of yall?
Put the car in B attempted to drive off but pretty much instantly car put itself into P, I never buckled my seatbelt either, thought it was weird, buckled my seatbelt and car drove normally after that lmao, what a weird quirky car this is.
I just bought a 2023 Audi e-tron from Evercars, and within the first 30 minutes of driving, I got this error:
"Vehicle charging connection: Malfunction! See owner's manual."
I also tried charging it at home for the first time, and now the charging connector is locked in. I found there's an emergency release cable, but I'm not home to try it yet.
The car drove normally otherwise, and I already have a service inspection scheduled at the Audi dealership this Monday.
How concerned should I be? Has anyone dealt with this issue before?
Has anyone successfully used an adapter to charge their OG e Tron at a Tesla supercharger (not the Tesla magicbox which I know work?) I have a 2022 Premium Plus e Tron and want to try the Lectron Voertex plus adapter. I know Audis 2025 and newer have been approved to use Tesla chargers. I’m curious if older model years are able to “fool the system.” My social media searches have turned up only a scant few who have been successful.
I test drove a RS and really like the car but I’m a bit worried about the rotor/pad replacement cost of the carbide brakes(not ceramic). I was talking to the service advisor and he mentioned it should last about 8 years or 80k miles and many techs have never replaced one yet but these cars have only been around a few years. I looked online for parts and the rotors have a range of around 1k to 7k per rotor cost but it doesn’t specify if it’s for the carbide or ceramic rotors. One of the RS’s with 20k miles I found had the front pads replaced in the CARFAX report so early pad replacements may happen. I know the chances are small of anything happening but if the replacement cost is astronomical, I rather get a Taycan which I also like. Are we looking at around 8k or 40k for replacing a set of carbide pads/rotors?
