I love the air quality package in the '19. It is so nice for getting rid of fast food smell on road trips. Also driving through cow country. :-)

I’m exactly the same as the poster above. Ordered one of the first 3 allocations at my dealer. Built Chronos Grey, Prestige with Black Optics and black interior.
When the demos arrived, went to look and drive and fell IN LOVE with Magnet Grey. It is completely different than any info Audi released. It’s a non-metallic grey, but not matte. It stands out from the other 14 grey colors Audi offers.
Signed the paperwork and taking delivery next week! Had to have a little time to get my charger installed in my garage!!!

Picked mine up today too!
We ordered the Daytona gray, but when we went to take delivery we noticed the Magnet Gray and took that instead. We lucked out since the Magnet gray was literally spec’d out exactly the same as the Daytona and the person that ordered it backed out of the deal which literally made it available just in time for us to grab it. We’ve only owned it for a couple of hours, but this thing is amazing! Not our first electric vehicle, but definitely the nicest.

Good review from C&D, although a little basic. They need to do a better job of mentioning efficiency in their reviews:

Oh and as @nadrealista suggested the steering has been updated a little.

Kyle from OOS appears to really like the '24 Q8.
Though not enough to upgrade Alyssa's' 19 Prestige.
He mentioned that he believes the ADAS has been improved and the suspension tuning across the drive types.
He also really likes the new larger on board charger if you check that option.
Finally, I had to chuckle, he loves the e-tron route planner. It is great, but missing soooo much.
Charging curve tests later in the week.

what is interesting to me is that he only got 2.9 miles/kWh and he was really trying...car did have 22" wheels though..not sure if I follow Audi logic on this. we will give you bigger battery, work hard to make everything more efficient and then slap 22" wheels that will cancel most off those improvements?

Stopped by local EA station today. PnC works quickly and the car charged to 90% with 245 miles of range indicated on the GOM. 245/.9=272 miles of 100% calculated range. Which is about 60 miles more than my '21 on 21" wheels use to show, in 7 less minutes under ideal conditions.
