Sounds like regular Audi USA responses to their poorly designed electronics. It appears that Audi’s warranty is relatively worthless.
We have dropped into the 60-65% range for our 2017 A3 Sportback e-tron all electric range. We are only at 20K miles, so well below the California 10 years 150K mile battery pack warranty, but Audi has told us that there is no battery pack degradation warranty. The warranty only covers defects in materials or workmanship. What kind of a garbage warranty is that? California is revamping their PHEV and EV battery pack warranties to require that the vehicles maintain at least 70% of all electric range by the end of the warranty, BUT that statewide warranty change will not take place until 2027.
What was Audi USA’s response to our concerns about our battery pack AND the loss of our Audi Connect connection to our car, due to their choice of 3G internet connectivity….”Buy a new Audi”. This was when our car was only 4 years old. Guess what company is no longer on our potential purchase list!
