In electric cars with rear-wheel drive, the rear brakes are rarely used. This is due to regeneration via the engine.
Disc brakes that are rarely used rust faster than drum brakes, which is why Audi uses them. Drum brakes are also cheaper to maintain. And it must have also played a role that Audi was able to save costs with this.

Thanks for sharing man. Makes sense.

I found the physical brake feel rather spongy, but when used in B mode or Dynamic mode the regenerative braking is almost instant, almost like one-pedal driving down to 5km/h then brakes are required. My suspicion is that the car is designed more for the regeneration which reinforces the argument for advanced drum brakes.

I had watched a ton of reviews before I discovered this newly posted review. The mood was a little sombre and hilarious at different times. It seemed as you had high expectations of the car and perhaps the experience was not the most exciting. Hilarious because of the OBU no doubt - #LTA what a joy killer. I have had the car for 2 weeks and it took a while to figure out all the quirky bits - brakes, OBU, etc. It can be boring for a normal morning drive to work because it's just so effortless and silent but if you put it on some twisty roads or hit a clear section of road, just enjoy the smooth and delicious power.
