KYLE DRIVES AUDI SQ8 E-TRON, TESLA STARTS CHARGING CONGESTION FEES

EV Channels Review

The Audi SQ8 e-tron is presented as a niche performance SUV that excels in driving dynamics and build quality, offering a "bank vault" feel and engaging handling, particularly with its three-motor system and torque vectoring. Despite its impressive chassis, sound system, and unique styling, the reviewer highlights significant drawbacks. On paper, it's a poor value proposition, with less horsepower and a much higher price point than competitors like the Tesla Model X Plaid. Its EPA range is also notably low, especially with the desirable larger wheels, leading to extreme inefficiency (averaging 1.1 miles per kWh when driven hard). While the reviewer personally loves the car's character and driving experience, calling it "more fun" than a BMW iX in spirited driving, they cannot logically recommend it due to its poor value and inefficiency, suggesting it's only for enthusiasts who prioritize driving dynamics over all else. The older Q8 e-tron is noted as a much better value, offering nearly the same experience for significantly less money.
