Default First e-tron Edition One in the Adirondacks?

We picked up our e-tron Edition one TODAY! Ordered 10/10 & picked up 5/10/19. Awesome car! So excited!

So, our dealer had one other car that shipped out to NJ, so we can only assume that we’re the first in the Albany NY area to own an Etron? In fact we actually live in the Adirondack park so I’m pretty confident we’re the only one’s up here with one...

So, no e-tron club for us....or are we the founders and sole members? Lol

Set up a gtg. Just make sure it is less than 205 miles away...I kid I kid...
Congrats. Daytona is my fav color, but could do without those yellow calipers...I know it signifies edition 1, but it's a little too much for what is a stealthy body paint color.

A meet n greet would be fun! Yeah the power consumption and range is a bummer, but it will just add some time and adventure to the trips!

think back to the Seinfeld episode where Kramer was running the car on fumes.

I travel up to the Saranac Lake area from Boston every summer with my family, but not looking promising to bring the e-tron up there until more charging infrastructure gets built out. We'll have to stick with the Q7 TDI for now....

Nice. I will be in Albany area , next weekend, for son's college commencement, but leaning toward taking the LR3 .
Driving from Southern CT/NY area, could have save $30 energy costs with the range anxiety and the reduced cargo space on my E1

That Electrify American station at Walmart, has been opening soon since September

Just a FYI the new state run camp ground at old Frontier Town at Exit 29 has 4 EV chargers. I see they don’t open til June. I have a Prestige model in Production. I have a camp at exit 29 so I’m hoping I can swing by the camp ground and top off.

So they told us about you today as a meter of fact! I said where the other Etron from your cars.com listing and they said it went to NJ! We missed each other !

hey let me ask you, did your car come with two remotes that are not identical? Our q7 bought from Albany came with two remotes that were totally identical, and two leather key chain straps. But the E1 came with two different key fobs??? And no other gift items which may have just been the giveaway of the dealership at that time?

We live in Schroon Lake. I went to school in providence and spent some time in Boston too. Small world. Let’s all make it smaller.
