Once we get the Model Y we can then put it in the sales mix.

But that's orthogonal to size.<br /><br />Early reports suggest the Model Y is pretty spacious -- but I guess we will have to wait for direct comparisons to see how it actually stacks up against the e-tron...antriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-80380609894072059802020-03-17T17:16:34.116+00:002020-03-17T17:16:34.116+00:00No. We get nothing except exemption of road tax.No. We get nothing except exemption of road tax.Brian Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576985671565425543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-8668711104854105112020-03-17T14:16:29.335+00:002020-03-17T14:16:29.335+00:00Well, having driven the e-Tron for a few days in F...Well, having driven the e-Tron for a few days in February, i can tell you it's quite spacious, so i wouldn't pitch it against the Model Y, but the Model X.<br /><br />Personally, on the inside i find the Big Audi much more luxurious than the Model X, so considering that the Model X is far more luxurious than the Model Y, it is completely unfair to compare the "Johnny Cab" Model Y with the Audi e-Tron, they are just in different automotive leagues.<br /><br />Anyway, size and space are not the only metric, it's the general standing that the respective brand provide to its lineup that i count the most.José Ponteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927229481945352747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-24093296538762203132020-03-17T13:32:59.819+00:002020-03-17T13:32:59.819+00:00What exactly makes a "full-size SUV"?

Because IMHO the e-tron is actually more comparable to the Model Y than the Model X: while its wheel base and total length are pretty much exactly in the middle between the Tesla models, I strongly suspect the extra length is more or less entirely from the overly long hood inherited from the combustion platform -- I'd be surprised if it has more interior space at all...antriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-84392272692036580352020-03-17T13:20:14.392+00:002020-03-17T13:20:14.392+00:00The e-Golf result is indeed surprising...
