A bit disappointing. @patgilm I don't think this would be a car you would enjoy after owning the Plaid

I still like the looks but for the price, no way. The deal breaker for me besides the price is the lack of rear seat room and trunk space, that is disappointing. Decent first attempt but they are right, the next gen if built from the ground up as an EV will be much better.

I know they complained about efficiently but I have no doubt the range is very similar to my Plaid in the real world.

Audi is offering up to $20K off its sporty e-tron GT to rival Tesla’s Model S

Can the RS e-tron GT keep up with Tesla’s Model S Plaid? Audi is hoping so. The automaker is offering up to $20,000 off its high-performance e-tron GT as it looks to stay in the race.

Next to the Porsche Taycan Turbo, Audi was one of the first automakers to take on Tesla’s Model S in performance with the RS e-tron GT.

With up to 637 hp, e-torque vectoring, Quattro AWD, and launch control for 0-60 in 3.1 seconds, the RS e-tron GT is nothing short of an exhilarating ride (see our review here). The 93 kWh lithium-ion battery provides up to 249 miles of range and can fast charge (5% to 80%) in 22.5 minutes.

The interior includes the typical premium performance feel offered in Audi vehicles. Audi’s virtual cockpit plus, a customizable 12.3″ digital instrument, is featured, providing accessible info.

The driver and passenger sit in a low, sporty position, separated by a wide center tunnel. Also included standard on the RS models is a flat-bottomed steering wheel with multifunction buttons.

Audi is offering $20K off the RS e-tron GT

Audi is offering $20,000 off the 2023 RS e-tron GT through a “National Customer Credit,” according to a recent bulletin Audi sent to dealers (via CarsDirect).

The discount is available for buying or leasing. And buyers don’t need to finance through Audi to get the savings. While it may seem like a steal, the high-performance sports car starts at $145,395.




After the $20,000 off, the RS Audi e-tron GT still starts at $125,395, significantly higher than the Tesla Model S Plaid starting at $80,890.





Tesla’s Model S Plaid is loaded with 1,020 horsepower, enabling a 0-60 mph in 1.99 seconds, making it one of the quickest production cars available. The Model S Plaid has up to 396 miles of range and a top speed of 200 mph.

Meanwhile, Audi is offering up to $12,500 off the standard 2023 e-tron GT, still significant savings. For the 2024 RS e-tron GT, Audi is offering $10,000 off, while the regular 2024 e-tron GT is $5,000 off.

The regular e-tron GT is no slow poke, with 523 hp and a 0-60 of 3.9 seconds. It also has 249 miles of range but a slightly toned-down design compared to the RS model.

You beat me to it, I was going to make a post about the $20k haircut. First one I’ve heard that big from a traditional automaker. Still not $40k though.

The one thing that is wrong in the article is the Plaid is $90k, not $80k. That would be a $50k haircut if it were true.
