what's going on guys to traverse consumer and right now I am in San Francisco out he was cool enough to sponsor a trip for me to come out and see the brand new all-electric SUV this is the Audi e-tron now the e-tron is awesome but what was really cool is the little event that they had leading up to the announcement we were on this cool boat we have tons and tons of food guys you know I had to indulge having me a lot of good shrimp it was definitely a cool time got a chance to talk to a lot of cool people talk some cars but what was really great was the announcement now as per any launch announcement ow d of course went and talked about the mindset behind creating the e-tron and something that actually really stood out to me during the event was the fact that they didn't claim to be the first to do this but they really put it out there that they wanted to do this thing right and I feel like they really focused on this since the e-tron has been a concept since 2009 and nine years later we've actually got a car to look at it's that guy right there this is the Audi e-tron it's actually positioned between the q5 and the q7 in terms of size now there are a lot of cool features we're gonna talk about but unfortunately some of them won't make it over to the u.s. of course regulations and all that stuff so some of these features are gonna be in Europe only but you got to talk about the cool tech that's actually in it though now with this thing being an electric vehicle of course we're not talking about one of the most important parts about it and that's how you charge it so right here look at that you just press the button and you have access to the socket where you actually plug it in charge it up with the standard charging that you'll probably have in your home it'll take about nine hours to charge but on the actual road when you're on the highways the high-voltage chargers are gonna be able to get this thing to 80% in 30 minutes there are cellphones that can't do that guys now there is no official rating in terms of how far this thing can go in terms of the range that's still to be announced but based on the European numbers we might see somewhere close to the 200 range now fast charging is one thing but we got to talk about the batteries and the batteries are actually all right under the bottom of the car so as you can see these are each of the individual 36 cells and interesting enough the batteries are actually liquid cold so even though there are 36 of them here and when you're using them like crazy liquid system allows it to just keep going and not overheat and here we have the front motor and even here you'll see that it's liquid cool this is this little chamber here that allows the motor to stay cool and you've even got it here on the rear motor which is a bit bigger than the front motor you can consistently try and go push this thing to zero to sixty the liquid cooling system allows that to happen without a problem now what's really unfortunate guys is that there's some really cool tech when it comes to the rear view mirrors but for the us we're gonna have standard mirrors and this is pretty much what we're missing out on guys this is the rear view mirror this is an OLED screen right here so with this you can see behind you now something else that's really cool and unfortunately also not going to be in the US just yet is matrix lighting matrix lighting is basically going to be able to detect when cars are around you and pretty much keep your high beams on but when there's oncoming traffic it'll actually turn it so that it doesn't get in the way of the other drivers well let's take a look inside all the cool things that they've got going on all right guys so now we are inside and check this out guys we've got two displays here this is of course where you can control pretty much everything and you've got your climate controls down here at the bottom so you've got a second display now one thing that's really cool about these is that when you press an actual button you get a haptic feedback so it feels like you're actually pressing something so you can get that you know real button feel you know you kind of press something you want to feel it and I like that you can do that but if you don't like that you can turn it off you can even turn off the little clicks that you hear as well and even in the back you've got a small capacitive touchscreen so you can control the climate in the back as well this is all powered by a video so you can expect that this thing is going to feel very smooth and fluid and guys we know that this car has a ton of cameras and sensors all around to help with all kinds of features but when you press this little Park Assist feature when you can see all around you you can see all kinds of angles but there's a 3d mode and check this out so with the 3d mode I just see awesome Zevon's little legs over here so I could see mr. Evans legs I can see all around the car I think this thing is just awesome so when you're parking you know exactly what your car is dealing with this thing is in 3d guys 3d and crazy enough guys the car actually has Alexa built into it unfortunately I can't show you here because we don't have a data connection could you imagine just going home and saying Alexa turn on all the lights or something or turn on the lights in the garage that's gonna be nuts and of course in a car like this you're getting access to car play as well as Android auto and that's kind of what I've been enjoying about out of these cars they just give you a lot of different options and you know smart features right at your fingertips and something else that's pretty cool is if you happen to be low on a charge the car will automatically let you know the nearest location so you can go ahead and super charge this thing and get yourself all juiced up and of course you've got your virtual cockpit over here I've had some experience with this with the Audi q7 you guys might have seen that video if you didn't I'll of course have it linked down below in the description but this thing has been updated with high-resolution display and it's got some like cool effects to it we're in something like sport mode you guys can see the gauges just kind of come over now something that's also pretty cool is if your phone supports wireless charging not open Apple pay but you can see the little battery your wirelessly charging your phone so I think that's really awesome but of course some of the biggest features that you'd come to expect on this like the adaptive cruise control traffic jam assist are all present here but what's actually nice is that this is a capacitive touch steering wheel and what that basically means is when you're using something like adaptive cruise control in the car is just going for you of course it's gonna want you to keep your hands on the wheels at all times so you can take over in the past it might have given you a warning to keep your hands on the wheel even if you might have kept it on the wheel but you didn't move it at all but now with the capacitive touch even if you keep like your finger on it it's going to know that your hands are on the wheel and not give you any of those warnings hey guys that's Austin but I am actually really excited to see this thing hit the streets it's supposed to be out in spring of 2019 so that's not too far off pre-orders are actually available right now so if you guys want to go and check it out I'll have that link down below in the description but hopefully you guys enjoyed this video if you did be the cool guy girl that gives us a thumbs up I'll catch you guys in the next one let me know what you think of the each one down below until then base
