What owners say

Mixed sentiment with a clear divide between driving enjoyment and significant reliability concerns.

  • Very frequentSevere electronic/software glitches

    Includes inability to register main user, random charging failures, failures of front warning/measurement systems, spoiler extension/retraction failures, and surrounding camera failures. Described as making the car feel "glitchier than a Windows 95 PC.".

  • Very frequentHigh-voltage system and drivetrain faults

    Includes "Electrical system malfunction" warnings, drive system faults leading to limp mode (50% power limit), four-wheel drive faults, and errors pointing to battery management or motor control modules. Can lead to repairs costing upwards of $10,000-$12,000.

  • Very frequentPoor dealer service and part scarcity

    Lengthy repair times, only one trained technician per dealer, inability to diagnose or fix recurring software issues, lack of available updates from Audi to address known problems.

  • RecurrentRapid and significant depreciation

    Cited as common among high-end EVs, with specific examples of over 50% depreciation within a few years, exacerbated by the high incidence of early-model issues.

  • RecurrentInferior EV efficiency and range management

    Worse than competitors regarding battery drain while parked, sensitivity to speed and temperature, inaccurate range prediction, and charging software bugs (e.g., not stopping at set charge limit).
