THE ONLY GOOD ELECTRIC CAR! (FOR RICH PEOPLE) 2023 AUDI RS E-TRON GT REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Straight Pipes deliver a compelling, albeit niche, endorsement of the 2023 Audi RS e-tron GT, proclaiming it the 'best electric car ever' for a specific demographic: the wealthy. Despite a year of new EVs entering the market, including rivals like the Mercedes EQS, they maintain the RS e-tron GT's superior design, handling, and user-friendly interior, particularly praising its physical climate controls and well-laid-out infotainment. Performance is lauded, with the car delivering rapid acceleration and impressive dynamics, though they note a tendency to understeer. The primary criticisms revolve around the charging infrastructure's unreliability and the car's limited real-world range, especially in winter, which they suggest wealthy owners might overlook due to home charging or simply not needing it for long trips. Ultimately, they find it a more practical and less flashy alternative to the Porsche Taycan, making it their top EV pick for affluent buyers who prioritize a normal car feel with electric power.
