Afternoon all,

(Plenty of dirty e based words coming up for those easily offended....)

Our Tesla Model Y is due back in March and whilst I'm happy to simply swap for a Y Performance my wife is less keen. She wants to go back to Audi. Spoke with our lease company earlier (it'll be a company car) and they offered a pretty decent deal on a Q6 e-tron (285kw Quattro 100kwh S Line, Sound & Vision), scheduled for March delivery.

Phoned our local Audi garage who said their Q6 demonstrator is currently unavailable as it's broken and they don't know when it'll be fixed. Great start - the chap could probably do with some sales training. WIll try some garages further afield as with the lead times time is of the essence. In the meantime I thought I'd check in with the collective PH wisdom. Main questions are:

Does anyone have one? Has yours broken?
If so what did you switch from? What alternatives did you consider?
If anyone switched from a Model Y (or Model 3/S/X) are you happy with the choice?
Is there a servicing schedule on them and if so what's the cost like? (I'm used to the zero maintenance Tesla experience).

Many thanks in advance!

I have a Q6 Edition 1, which has a few faults that seem fairly common but should be fixed with a software update that is just being rolled out. I won't list them all here, but there are very active threads on the e-tron and motor.talk forums.

I came from a BMW 840i Gran Coupe. My company started offering salary sacrifice, which made the jump a little sweeter. The only real competitor for me was the new Macan EV, which shares the same PPE platform as the Q6. I was swayed by thr much higher standard spec of the Edition 1 over the Macan 4.

Servicing is 2 years/20k. I'm not aware of the cost as this is included by the salary sacrifice scheme.

My car is on passive suspension and 21 inch rims, and I'd describe the ride as unsettled. I wouldn't go above 20 inch unless specifiying air suspension, which is currently limited to the SQ6, and seems to come with its own set of issues.

Thanks both for the replies.

The E-Tron forum made for some interesting reading and definitely not something we're going to rush into, despite it being a "great" deal.
