If you can share a few things about your ownership of the Audi E-Tron, what would it be? The most liked or hated, share them with every one I am sure you won't be the only one.

Of all audi e-tron issues I can point out, low range is one of them but one I can put up with till Audi releases more complete EV's.

Hey, range is not an issue as you deside if it fits your needs before U buy it. I like the fast charging and the driving as well as the space and that on the rear seat 2 adults can comfortable travel. I dislike the crappy myaudi app for the iphone. Other manufactures have that running (like JLR) and I do not unterstand why audi does not fix it. aanother point on my list is that the Companys own ultrafastchargers are not considured withing the cars navigation. This is für Europe. So I have to plan with my IPad using "a better route planner" my trips. This is "unworthy" for a car in that price point . I hope this will be fixed very soon. Besides that I really lave the car and enjoy driving it.

Has anyone felt weight was an issue with the E-Tron? I always felt Audi could have done more to reduce it. In range testing it can show: "That 95.3-kWh battery helps give the e-tron its EPA-rated 204-mile range, although, during our testing, we achieved a 190-mile highway range. We suspect that the e-tron's 5843-pound curb weight could be why we got this lower number. For comparison, we managed to get the same range when we tested the Jaguar I-Pace, although it weighs almost 1000 pounds less and is powered by a smaller, 90.0-kWh battery. We have yet to test a Tesla Model X, which is rated at 295 miles of range; we estimate that it weighs between 5450 and 5500 pounds."

I know what you mean.
Spent some time playing around with the App and after much frustration, my next step was to check out the reviews...

It still boggles that VW group, as big as they are, can't get an app developed properly.

The rear backup camera needs some sort of weather protection. In rain, especially at night, backing up is hit or miss. With the back windows so heavily tinted, you are on your own! Anyone make really tiny windshield wipers?

Do you not have a nozzle on the back camera to flush the lens? It should be possible to do it on the MMI when car is in reverse, or when activating the rear wiper

There isn't much about the car that I do not like. I like that it feels safe, it has some weight to it so I don't feel like I'm going fly off the side of the road, the handling is fantastic, different drive modes are nice, it feels well built and I like that it doesn't look so much different than combustion engine vehicles. It has plenty of room inside for my three dobermans also.

The negatives; horrible app that needs lots of help and would love more range but know that will be coming. Also, more consistency with the charging options, i.e. home charging, timer charging.

I have to upvote that the app sucks. I just checked version history in the app store, and they've been pushing out about once a month. Every push includes "design improvements"... I think it could use a big one. I mean, half of the apps first page is a picture of my car... I know what my car looks like; how about replacing most of that with lock/unlock and remote A/C controls.

How about the cup-holders? Is it just me, or does anyone else have a problem with the deep and narrow design. I mean, it can fit a Starbucks coffee cup, but good luck getting the cup out of the holder without popping the lid. I've dumped my share of coffee into the holder... it does clean up ok . Anyone have a DIY fix?

The seat belt buckle slips all the way to the bottom when it's fully retracted... making it a small chore to grab it between the pillar and the seat. Every other car I've driven has a 'stop' sewn into the strap that would stop the buckle from falling to the floor. Why not Audi? Also the passenger buckle flops around and hits the pillar, especially noticeable when the passenger window is open (and of course no one is sitting there).

I agree with your other criticisms, but there is an adjustable slide that holds the belt buckle up wherever you want it. Let me know if you can't find yours and I'll send you a pic of mine.

...there is an adjustable slide that holds the belt buckle up...

AND THERE IT IS! Thank you! That slide had slid to the floor... I had no idea it was there.
