  • The new 2021 Audi E-Tron is here! This EV from Audi gains a new base trim for 2021 which is a lot less expensive and gets 18 more miles of range. The Etron has a beautiful exterior and interior and drives very well. But how good is the Audi E-tron vs a Tesla Model Y? Or vs a Tesla Model X? Find out!

    I test drove 2020 model and loved it. Bought a 2021 MY and have no regrets but the Audi is a real contender. Range will increase and it’s a true German luxury car.

    Best moment in the video is when you say the Audi is a luxury car and the Tesla is considered a luxury car because of it's price tag. That kinda sums it all up for me. I'm impressed with the technology of Tesla, but not with their car building. I considered getting me a Tesla and did a test drive, but after driving German cars for many years, I would not consider a Tesla to be a luxury car. The performance is impressive..., shame the build quality isn't of the same level.

    Watching this again after test driving the Audi e-tron sport back. Great car. I own a Tesla Model 3 and had a Y for 6 months before selling it. I agree with most of your comparisons. Like you said, most things will be personal preference like the difference in the regen braking (I like the Tesla ability to one pedal drive), but in the end, the Audi is a pure luxury car. The Tesla has sport performance in a fancy styled car, but I would not call the Tesla a luxury car. I’d call it more futuristic and very techy. I think the Premium with the Convenience Package is the way to go if you’re looking to cut a few $$$. I think the lack of range isn’t as big a deal since the charging rate is much better than the Teslas, especially the older model S and X that charge at a snail’s pace. 200+ miles has you stopping every 2.5 hours or so, which from a health perspective, is good practice anyway. Sitting for more than that is not good for your health. So, EVs are healthy too!

    The seat belt torsioner is meant to reduce any excess slack and “prime” your seat belt position to the driver/passengers so in event of accident it has less free play to travel. It’s not gimmicky, it’s a safety feature.

    I test drove the car last year and LOVED how it handles, the suspension is a dream. I missed the physical controls for volume and A/C. It looks like the Q4 eTron will have physical controls, way more range and a great design. That and the Audi experience with the eTron makes the incoming q4 more desirable for me. I am targetting the q4 eTron as my next car.

    Great, honest review. Thank you. I am seriously considering getting a etron Sportback.

    This is the 1st time I have listened to George and I must say his smooth voice and command of knowledge of the car was a pleasure to watch. I want to see more luxury reviews as Im in the market for a quality, higher-end SUV now. The all electric cars are what is to be but I'm not quite sure I want to spend this much for a car that I need to search for charging stations for if I'm on the road.

    I saw one on the road this morning,...and I must say that I Like What I Saw! Looks very nice!

    I have found the e-tron to be very strong off-road. I think more attention needs to be given to that aspect of electric SUV reviews. That is, unless everyone is just buying these for soccer practice pickups and grocery store runs

    Very helpful review. I had a Model Y LR AWD. Sold it because I didn’t like it. Not nearly as nice to drive as my model 3. Suspension is stiffer. Never got the quoted range and I drive like Ms. Daisy....The etron and Y aren’t that far apart. My test driving of the etron has shown the range estimator is very pessimistic and I often get much more range that the EPA stated range. Also, the charging is SOOO much quicker than the TESLAs. The only downside of the etron is the charging infrastructure is a bit sketch...chargers aren’t spaced as well as Superchargers, and the communication between the charging stations and the car aren’t always reliable...All that said, the etron is TONS better than the Y in just about every way, including luxury. Quiet, comfortable, great looking, and it’s an Audi! TESLAs aren’t luxury cars under any definition except price, and even there that’s on the S and X. Y and 3 are not luxury cars. Y and 3 have no rear HVAC. Limited adjustment on the seat (though they are very good anyway), no heads up display, no massage seat cabability, noise level is higher in the Y and X than the etron...nuff said. Still, Teslas are great cars and I LOVE my model 3, but not a luxury car, period.

    Another really good honest test drive. Thanks George!

    I’m really liking the Etron. You can throw the epa range ratings out the door. The model y get more like 240-250 miles. I don’t like the rattles in my model y. I’m guessing there’s no rattles in the Audi. I’ll have to test drive it

    @driversonly , you ranked the e-tron so high, so why did you buy the Tesl Model Y?

    I live near mountains and this car handled curvy narrow roads just as well as my A3. Nice car.

    I feel lane keep and adaptive cruise should be on the base trim. That brings it much more inline with the Tesla in terms of value with the rebate, because that feature is so useful

    Hi George, great video. I enjoy your Tesla videos too. I have a 2019 etron and love it. Two minor things you and your viewers should know...

    My Audi A4 has awesome steering and very very responsive when in sports mode. Did you test this E-Tron under Sports mode or just Comfort mode?
