I'm watching it right now. Right from the bat the car has no visual attraction...it looks boring...just like my own car. But I'm now half way through and thinking if they can do this and make the car super attractive outside visually, plus electric...I might consider checking my credit card's limit tomorrow.

This guy would be a better salesman for Tesla. Or, for this Audi if EV.
I'm done watching it now...unbelievable that they still promote ICE cars ...
The best is not gas, it's battery operated.

Audi's are from VW, which is spending $66Billion over the next five years to convert to Electric and Electric/Hybrid. The S8 may stay as a legacy ICE car, maybe not.

NIssan's Leaf was the first mass electric, building first on the short range idea that Toyota is now doing a decade later.

Toyota decided on a different path, the Toyota Mirai, a hydrogen fuel cell based car. It has been heavily advertised in California and only available there because California is the only state that has a network of hydrogen refueling stations. Price is slightly under $60K. Unfortunately, the network has only 34 stations in California. We are in the Bay Area and there are several stations. I looked at the Mirai, but the closest station is about 20 miles away from our home. Toyota has sold or leased about 6000 Mirai's since 2015, almost all in California. Currently their promotion is giving away 3 years of fuel for free. They are doing a redesign for 2021 to a more spacious model. Issues still remain with the lack of refueling stations.
