AUDI RS E-TRON GT VS TESLA MODEL S: 571-MILE SCOTLAND-TO-LONDON RACE AND REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This video pits the Audi RS e-tron GT against the Tesla Model S Long Range in a 571-mile race from Scotland to London, focusing on real-world range, charging, and overall driving experience. The Audi impresses with its sporty design, luxurious interior, and exhilarating performance, particularly its rapid acceleration and flat cornering. However, its practicality is limited, with less rear headroom and a smaller boot. The Tesla, while less visually striking and with a more dated interior, offers superior practicality, a more intuitive infotainment system (despite lacking Apple CarPlay/Android Auto), and a simpler charging experience thanks to the Supercharger network. In the race, the Audi's faster charging was offset by the Tesla's better efficiency and simpler charging strategy, with the Tesla ultimately winning due to a navigational error by the Audi driver. The reviewer highlights the Audi's premium feel and driving dynamics against the Tesla's ease of use and practicality for long-distance EV travel.
