Alyssa provides a comprehensive ten-month ownership update on her 2019 Audi e-tron 55 Prestige. The primary focus is on a significant dash scratch caused by her dog, Bleu. While the repair cost through Audi could exceed $6,000, a leather repair specialist quoted around $400 to sand, repaint, and fix the damage, offering a more budget-friendly solution. Alyssa expresses deep affection for the e-tron, praising its quiet ride, luxurious feel, and daily usability, despite acknowledging its limitations in range, particularly during winter. She notes the EPA rating of around 208 miles, which she finds insufficient for longer trips, and expresses strong interest in the upcoming Q8 e-tron with its estimated 318-mile range. Charging reliability on road trips is also highlighted as a concern, with specific examples of non-functional stations. The review also touches on CES highlights, with a critical view of the VinFast's perceived quality and a positive impression of Autel and FreeWire's charging solutions due to their passionate staff.
