Two days ago I secured a reservation for Audi’s first all-electric car, the e-tron, only seconds after preferred customers were allowed to do so. At 12:01 AM this morning, I got my first glimpse of the final design and had a chance to review specifications before entering my order configuration. I have decided on everything except the color which will probably be one of the two above. I have waited patiently for this day ever since I rejected delivery of a Tesla Model X over 2 years ago. That saga is recounted here. The e-tron is a proper all-electric SUV crossover with enough range (~250 miles) to eliminate the need for a traditional gas-powered car, a big increase compared to the 81-mile range of my BMW i3. While it has been fine for commuting to Boston, I have to trade cars with Jeanine anytime I need to travel further. Delivery is expected within 6 months and possibly sooner given my position at the top of the reservation list.
