AUDI RS E-TRON GT DRIVEN, BIDEN'S 50% EV TARGET AND CYBERTRUCK 1.25 MILLION ORDERS

EV Channels Review

The Audi RS e-tron GT is reviewed as a fantastic, comfortable, and capable electric sedan, sharing much of its DNA with the Porsche Taycan. While it handles exceptionally well and offers a compliant ride, even in dynamic modes, its steering is noted as being a bit light, though improved in dynamic mode. The reviewer highlights that the RS e-tron GT matches the performance of the Taycan Turbo, but not the Turbo S. A significant point of discussion is the minimal liftoff brake regeneration, which differs from Tesla's one-pedal driving, though the blended braking system is praised for its seamless integration of regenerative and friction braking, with over 90% of braking done regeneratively. Styling is subjective, with some finding it less appealing than the Taycan, particularly the black plastic accents and non-flush door handles, though an optional body-colored grille and nose are available. The interior is considered by some to be nicer than the Taycan's. Despite its impressive charging curve and performance, the consensus leans towards the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo being a more compelling package, especially a base model with options, due to its styling and utility, with the e-tron GT being seen as a 'worse Taycan' by some. The vehicle's high price point and significant depreciation in the used market are also noted.
