I've been considering buying an A3 e-tron and have been finding dealers seem unprepared to try to sell this car. I emailed a dealer near me earlier this week and asked about coming in today to drive an e-tron. I stated that I'd driven A3s before, but was specifically interested in driving the e-tron.
I arrived today at the time I said I would, and we grabbed the keys for one of the e-trons on the lot. I started it up and the engine came on right away. The battery was already depleted. I asked if they had one with a battery charged and they said no. Is it too much to ask that if they are selling plug in hybrids, that they would keep one or more of them charged up so people could test EV and hybrid mode? I find this to be absolutely insane. If I do end up buying one, I'm probably going to go to another dealer.
