I could not agree more with the above Audi have this very wrong with the E-Tron.

They are as far away from the high points of the A8 & A2 than they have been in their history.

Mile per kWh is 2.0 on the ETron also which is frankly terrible where Nero/ Kona type cars are at 3.5 miles per KwH.

Surely long term ownership models, light as possible vehicles and maximum miles for the energy charged into them should be the right engineering direction for this?

How can Audi possibly market and encourage us we all should rush out and buy something new that is the size of a Star Destroyer, massively overweight and that inefficient?

Plus this is what we should be doing to help the planet?

Clever, light, efficient electric cars should be the push here and Tesla are doing many things right here as an ownership prospective. Ownership models and keeping cars long term has an impact to all of this also, dare I suggest buying a new Hybrid Range Rover on finance and trading it in every two years for another new one might not be the best environmental move.
