I am a new e-tron owner, 2 months now. I have programmed my e-tron with my preferred charging % and charging times at my home location in my advanced settings. I assumed the car was asking to set this up, because logically it would wait till those cheap charging hour to charge to my goal. When I got my electric bill I noticed that there was over $1000 in charging because my car disregards the preference and just starts charging the minute you plug it in. I found a work around where you can use the schedules to institute a delaying function on the charge, but if you don't remember to turn that on manually each and every time you park the car you are just burning through cash. This makes no sense to me. If you set up preferred charging time in something called "advanced" settings that should be the default, not this other stupid logic that Audi has. Am I along on this? Has anyone else figure out how to make the car delay the charging process to the cheap off peak times automatically? This car got a lot more expensive with this stupid logic, for the amount I am spending in peak hour charging plus my payment I could have had a model x or the porsche taycan. I am familiar with the saying, "there is the right way, the wrong way, and the German way..." but this really is just the wrong way and a terrible user experience.
