Default Q6 eSelf study program

Years ago, there was an eSelf study guide on the NHTSA website for the OG e-tron: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...55750-9999.pdf
That has lots of good info, and I was wondering if anyone knows if a similar document exists for the Q6 e-tron. I'm curious to find out if the Q6 still has the 'aspirational' rotor cooling system that has proven problematic for our e-trons. I'd also like to know if the cooling system is able to utilize waste heat from the battery to warm the cabin. I seem to remember reading somewhere that at least the related electric Macan does not support this, with a hit on cold weather range.

Out of spec has a video with the lead engineer on the PPE. They certainly talk about the waste heat being used in the cabin. They absolutely do.

Well, the PPE may have the capability, but whether or not it is made use of is another thing.

They were in a Macan and said its a huge part of efficiency.

I doubt they disable the function for other vehicles built on the platform. Seems like a pretty large piece of the engineering that makes the vehicle function.

About the 10:30 mark. In an awesome German accent "we won't let any joule get out of the car."
