Hi all, I’m new to the forum. Apologies if much of the below has already been addressed.
As a former 2004 Audi Allroad owner, I’m cautiously optimistic about the air suspension for the R1S. After 70k miles, the allroad suspension bags started failing one by one. I recall spending serious cabbage to fix each as they failed. IMHO adjustable air suspensions are fantastic, especially with an SUV, just wondering if the technology for this feature has improved since then. Will be at the Austin event this weekend asking about
-durability of air suspension (any cycle testing that may have been done)
-anticipated service options
-GVWR for each of the battery pack configurations ( Section 179 IRS deduction potential )
-warranty details
-whether or not a trial period will be allowed upon delivery ala Tesla 1 week or 1,000 miles (scary thought to spend 80k on a vehicle I’ve never test driven.)
-anticipated test drive options
-what the engineers expect to be the most expensive parts of the vehicle to fix. (Likely battery replacement will be high on the list)
Appreciate any input!
