Thanks!
I picked up my Prestige with a factory installed hitch on Wednesday. Photos appended. I’m happy to send more pictures if anybody wants to see it from a different angle. I tried it with my Kurt Sherpa 2.0 bike rack and it works well, although it ends up closer to the tailgate than with my Q5.

That positioning is great for actual towing. The closer to your axle you can get the pivot point, the less sway you will have.

Adding some additional photos of the factory tow hitch on my two-day-old e-tron.

Note the rusted screw. Does that count as proof this Audi EV is aspiring to be just like a Tesla?

I just got a final quote from my Audi dealer for the hitch, 7 harness and wiring for brake controller for be $3175 for my Edition One all installed.... I think I'll be holding off on this for a while, maybe I'll end up with the Stealth Hitch and wiring up the brake controller myself.
