Not surprising, its a half baked EV, something that the Germans specialize in. Whether its an Audi E-Tron, BMW iX3, or Benz EQA, the Germans need to realize you can't just throw some batteries on an ICE platform and call it a day. All three of these models were likely just put together in a short amount of time in hopes of meeting emissions and reducing fines, all three have poor range, and large shortcomings from compromised platforms, to even lack of AWD on an SUV, probably one of the most desirable features for SUV shoppers. Even VW's efforts into making the iD4 are poor and uninspired compared to similarly priced rivals like the Ford Mach-E and upcoming Hyundai Ioniq5.
Hopefully forthcoming products such as the Q4-Etron, iX, and EQS really will change the game and improve at being good EV's, because other than the Taycan, the Germans aren't leading when it comes to EV's.
