    E-tron spotted

    Hello Gents,
    Just saw the camouflaged E-tron. Looks like a Q7-8cross(back-front). Thought initially it was an Audi Assistance Vehicle (normally a funky coloured Q7).
    It was on the way to Tahoe, so I wager has 250miles+ radius, probably coming from their R&D facility here in Silicon Valley.
    Looked nice, obviously bothered to be tagged by an AZer.
    Cheers,
    Bob

    Hello Gents,
    Only 2 weeks ahead of its SF reveal, just saw the camouflaged E-tron. Looks like a Q7-8cross(back-front). Thought initially it was an Audi Assistance Vehicle (normally a funky coloured Q7).
    It was on the way to Tahoe, so I wager has 250miles+ radius, probably coming from their R&D facility here in Silicon Valley.

    Nice spotting.

    I have yet to see one in the wild, but am looking forward to the official unveiling in a few weeks. It's supposed to be quite posh.

    They run towards the mountains, if you catch them

    Has anyone heard one of these things IRL? Someone in my neighborhood just picked one up, and it has a very different and pronounced auditory presence. Manufactured sound I'm sure, but it sounds pretty cool, and I appreciate it from a pedestrian safety standpoint as someone who has been repeatedly surprised by a couple Teslas that roam the neighborhood streets when I'm walking my dog.

    Yes that sound is audible up to 19~mph. I think it's a legal thing now for EV's to alert pedestrians at low speeds. Sounds like one of the cars from the Halo game haha
