Other discussions talk about reprograming. Seems so easy to turn off each time, just like pressing the garage door opener (once I get use to it being located on the lower panel and not above the rear view mirror)

My BMW dealer told me he was not allowed to turn on my Digital Speedometer nor make my remote open and close the windows on my BMW and the car did not even have the physical capability. My friend with an OBD did it all in 5 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if the Q8 Start/Stop could be privately programed.

As Cadx6, we also went from a 2017 Q7 Prestige to a Q8 Prestige and I second everything he said. Zero complaints about the Q7, loved it, too, but the Q8 is simply a much better drive on all parameters. Lot of skepticism about the MMI touchscreen in the Q8, I was skeptic too, but I don't miss the old MMI at all, the new one is way better. Besides the lack of a third row, also rarely used it and don't miss it, the trunk space in the Q8 is smaller than that in the Q7, which may be something to consider.
I have about a year before I will be making a decision between the Q7 & Q8.. We've had the Q7 for two years and love everything about it. But I have been considering a Q8 since I like the "sporty" look it has and we really don't need the third row.. But the cargo space in the Q7 is something that we have come to appreciate and not sure if we want to give that up. Not to mention my favorite part of the Q7 is the SC 3.0.. It's a fantastic engine..
Well at least we have plenty of time to decide..

I'm getting used to the turbo - I only drive it in sport and dynamic and that helps a lot.
This is all because of Audi's mess with MPG claims and their desperation to get those numbers as low as possible
