Audi e-tron GT vs. Tesla Model S: Audi's Electrification Plans Are Bold

 

The development of a high-performance, fully electric vehicle isn't easy, and only a short list of automakers have placed these models into the industry.

 

Several customers have inquired about the differences between the e-tron GT and a major competitor, the Tesla Model S. Here, we focus on why they are different and not just the differences themselves.

 

 

The first intent of the e-tron GT is to stand out. The carefully designed exterior is not only efficient, but its wide stance and presence is meant to be unforgettable. When we compare these dynamic lines to the Tesla Model S, we discover that the Tesla reminds us of the earlier days of electric vehicle development. They were characterized by styling that was as least intrusive as possible to reduce drag. The bold styling of the e-tron GT creates a step forward by bringing imagination back to electric touring model design.

 

 

The e-tron GT family features up to 637 horsepower, which is virtually more power than most vehicles on the road. Also, the e-tron GT closes the gap with Tesla by reducing its battery charge time. With the 800-volt electrical architecture, the E-Tron has a charging rate of 270 kilowatts on DC fast chargers which provides an 80% charge in 22.5 minutes, placing Audi in a small club of manufacturers with the fastest results in recharging.

 

But one of the most interesting features the e-tron GT has over the Tesla Model S is the fact that it is backed by Audi’s long-standing reliability and craftsmanship. While Tesla has experienced (and is still experiencing) assembly problems and reliability issues plaguing the entire lineup, Audi is committed, as always, to delivering a top-end product that will last.
