Hi Cliff, totally agree with what you're saying. My issue is the car will not even charge to anywhere near to what Audi claim. Before I even get into the car the battery only manages to charge to around 200 miles on a 100% charge. The other day when it was quite cold the battery only charged up to around 180 miles. This is before any driving is done. I've been told the battery is fine. So if I then take into account real world driving I can knock another 10-15% off that figure depending my driving style and other components I may have on the car.
