Audi Etron vs. Tesla Model X — We choose Audi

We had a Tesla. It was great. And then we realized it wasn’t. We got an Audi.

Audi has a 100% electric SUV. Nobody talks about it, and nobody knows about it. When we think of electric cars, we think of Tesla. We tried both, and this is why we decided the Audi is better.

1. Mileage:
   Audi: The Etron is rated for 205 miles, but you actually get more than 240 miles. They underpromise and overdeliver.
   Tesla: The Model X is rated for 270 miles, but you only get 220 miles. They overpromise and underdeliver.
2. Luxury
   Audi: It's heavy, and it's real. You get an electric Audi Q8. Let’s not ignore the massage seats, genuine leather, sunroof, Apple and Android connection.
   Tesla: It's beautiful. It's fun. It feels more like a toy than a luxury car. The sky roof is nice but gets hot.
3. Self Driving
   Audi: It self-drives. It maintains speed and direction inside lanes. It doesn’t change lanes like a Tesla and you need to touch the steering wheel every 15 seconds.
   Tesla: It self-drives. It is better than Audi, but self-driving needs a lot of improvement. In Tesla, I could work on my laptop while driving, this isn’t possible in an Audi.
4. Car Charging:
   Audi: We use Electrify America — There is plenty on the way to LA that you can charge on the main highway. The Audi charges to 80% in 20–30 minutes. Much quicker than we had with a Tesla. We use EVGO in the city to get quick charges at all Whole Foods…
