The Audi e-tron (type: GE) is an electric battery-powered luxury SUV from Audi AG. It belongs to the e-tron brand. The model was unveiled in San Francisco on September 17, 2018. Delivery of the first Audi e-tron vehicles started in March 2019, although it was originally planned to start at the end of 2018. History and current events The first concept vehicle, the Audi e-tron quattro concept, was presented at the IAA in autumn 2015. Originally, the production version should have been presented at the Audi Summit on August 30, 2018 in Brussels, but it was canceled. Production of the vehicle started on September 3, 2018 in the CO2-neutral Audi plant in Brussels. The premiere of the Audi e-tron was postponed and finally took place on September 17, 2018 in San Francisco. The formal premier at the trade fair took place at the Mondial Paris Motorshow in October 2018. A short time later it became known that the Audi e-tron could not be delivered to the first customers as planned in 2018, as software problems delayed delivery by at least four weeks. However, the first vehicles were delivered to customers from March 2019. In June 2019, Audi started a global recall for the Audi e-tron.

In the worst case, a short circuit or a "thermal event" is possible because of the water that has penetrated the battery. The latter can cause fire. According to Audi, however, the likelihood of a leak is extremely low. A total of 1650 vehicles are affected by the recall. In November 2019, the Audi e-tron Sportback, a variant with a flat, tapering roof shape, was presented at the LA Auto Show. It has been on sale since February 2020. At the same time, the variant with the steeper rear received a slight technical revision.
