Congratulations! My Q8 sportback is also Daytona Grey Pearl. I really like how is shows off the exterior contours. What is the interior color?

Interior is red, and we really like it! I’ll post more pics this weekend.

That def looks like a sweet color. For my Q8 SB I was between that color and white but there wasn’t one in the area I could look at and since it’s tough to tell with pictures I just went with the white (which the dealer had in stock). The white def looks nice - it seems though that the Grey Pearl may be more “eye catching”?. My interior is beige and that I like a real lot.

Yeah, my interior is beige. Again, it shows off the interior highlights really well.

We took delivery a week ago, but I’m just getting around to posting pictures.

We also had a ChargePoint L2 charger installed, which we’re very happy with. I’ve programmed the app to charge only during daytime hours, to take advantage of our solar power. Plugging that in the first time was quite a thrill!

Love your SQ8. If the range had been equal to the Q8 etron; i.e. close to,300 miles there is a good chance I would have purchased one versus even thinking about the iX.

One thing: in Europe they have the exact same style of wheel available in a 21” diameter. WTH they don’t offer it here is beyond me as you’d get all of the looks and better range. Ah well; enjoy that gorgeous car!

Yea that wheel would have been nice. However, as I’ve previously posted, the range, while admittedly on the low side, is not an issue for us: we both work at home, have solar power and an L2 charger. Plus we have decent infrastructure around us, so even when we do travel, we’ll be able to avoid range anxiety.

I also seriously considered the iX, but couldn’t get past the fugliness, and iPad dashboard, which is unfortunately the way things are going with new cars. To me, it looks lazy and cheap. I’ve read or seen some complaints about the split screen in the Audi. So far, I don’t see it being an issue. In fact, I think it looks fantastic, and is quite functional.

One thing that’s great about the split screen is all the shortcuts you can add to the bottom screen. I have a bunch of radio stations, nav destinations and vehicle settings.

BTW - it’s hard to tell from the picture what the color looks like. It looks really nice - is it a bit of a greenish tint?
