bird with big dick posted:You got one for under $400 including tax? Someone in that thread said he couldn’t even repeat it at the same dealership. Right now my local dealerships lowest MSRP e tron is still 4K more than the example so the best id likely be able to do is get close but the dealerships here are so lovely I don’t see getting the ~13% discount off MSRP that he got. I didn't want the lowest trim level, so it's not exactly the same lease, but here: leasehackr.com/calculator?make=Audi&miles=7500&msd=10&msrp=77515&sales_price=69764&months=36&mf=.00074&dp=0&dealer_fee=500&acq_fee=995&taxed_inc=15750&untaxed_inc=0&rebate=0&resP=50®_fee=500&sales_tax=6.25&demo_mileage=0&memo=&acqFee_check=true&monthlyTax_radio=true&cap_tax=true&bmw_demo_25=true It was a way better deal than I could find on a Mach E or Model Y. stealth edit: pasted the wrong link

If you're ever in Stuttgart there's a tour available of the Taycan production line. It is cool as heck and highly recommended.

The red and crystal is gaudy, but the seats are incredibly comfortable (and you can get it without the crystal and in a different color).

I'll make a longer post about it at some point but my e-tron has been stuck at the dealer for 5 months waiting for them to replace a battery module. It was a nice car until that happened but their service situation is not good. (they have everything they need except a cell balancer and there are like fewer than ten in the country and they just get shipped around with no ETA) If you don't have that problem it's a very nice car.

Bone Crimes posted:Oof! Did they give you a loaner? Also, what happened then the fault was detected? Did it stop or go into limp mode? I've had an A4 sedan loaner lol. There was no error message, just a gradual reduction in range. Once it was sub 100mi I got suspicious and plugged in an OBD dongle - there was like a half volt difference between the min and max cell voltage.

I've only driven it for like 45 minutes since buying it, it's very nice so far. Premium package which includes the insane buttons and the good driver assist. It took me like a month to find one that matched the spec. Some random thoughts: Easily the best android auto integration I've used on a car so far - map on instrument panel and directions on the HUD. Heated interior panels like armrests is amazing. Knob has a touchpad on the top which I did not expect given the silly crystal. Adjustable side bolsters are great. Car go fast.

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:give me some notes vs etron, I've driven my buddy's etron a few times so have a point of reference there Much better infotainment, feels more roomy, more range, similar ride quality, a bit faster. Better ADAS but not by a ton - it will let you go hands free under 40mph in stop/go traffic without having to touch the pedals. Heated everything is good. Climate controls are more annoying if auto doesn't do a good job since they're all touch. Phone as a key is mmWave based so I'm optimistic that it'll actually work well. No rear seat tunnel. Am undecided on the frameless doors so far, they sound wimpy when I close them but they do give good visibility.

bird with big dick posted:I love the iX interior but wish they'd managed to get a little quicker charging for that big battery. It'd kill me to leave an iX at home and take a different car on my road trips. Yeah if I drove long distance frequently it'd be annoying - hopefully they update it in the next iteration. It's like an extra 10min/stop vs the ioniq 5 at least.

revisiting the app subscription thing - it's true that there's ongoing cost to the LTE data but that's cost the manufacturers have chosen to incur. they could just as easily fit it with a SIM slot / esim and not run any centralized infrastructure and it'd be wildly cheaper for them to maintain but then they wouldn't get their tasty cut.

You could be on a trip, and get someone to go to the airport where your car is parked to go charge it up if you hosed up and didn’t top it off before hand. the way apple does this where you can text them a time bounded revocable car key is nicer IMO edit: i know this currently uses a manufacturer server as a key server but it does not inherently have to

Today's fun fact: triple tapping the lock button on the iX key fob allows you to start preconditioning the car without using the app or having cell service.

kill me now posted:Full regen isn't the default mode. You have to double pull the shifter into B mode to get full brake regen. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the iX owners aren't doing this and are burning up their pads more than necessary to stop their 5700lb vehicle. On mine you can get to the full depth of the regen bar on the dashboard using the brake pedal in D, no need to shift to B.
