Audi announced the prices for the Q6 e-tron battery-electric vehicle (BEV) SUVs. The entry-level Q6 e-tron Premium RWD model, which has an impressive 321-mile EPA-estimated range, starts at $65,095, including destination and delivery fees. Buyers can now order a Q6 e-tron with the Audi USA model configurator for deliveries that will begin before the end of the year.

Why the Audi Q6 e-tron matters

The Audi Q6 e-tron is the sweet spot for Audi’s fast-growing BEV lineup.  Audi has already introduced the Q4 e-tron compact crossover and the larger Q8 e-tron models. The Q6 e-tron is more than just a place-filler in the model lineup, however, because the Q6 will directly compete with popular BEVs from other brands, including the BMW iX, Tesla Model Y, Jaguar I-Pace, and Mustang Mach-E. As Audi continues to build the luxury-performance brand, the Q6 e-tron line is a key segment.

Ducati Scrambler 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition
Transportation or art? Yes, say Scrambler Ducati and Rizoma.

Ducati sport and super sport bikes often feature in racetrack photos with riders scrapping their knees on high-speed corners, but the Scrambler Ducati lineup has a celebrated tradition of off-road capable bikes that goes back to the early 1960s. Designed with the Rizoma motorcycle accessories company, the Scrambler Ducati 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition celebrates ten years of modern Scrambler models and emphasizes the individual styling possible with the Scrambler platform.
Why Ducati is celebrating the anniversary of a desert scrambler-style motorcycle

Rizoma's specialty accessories and design enhancements emphasize the potential for individual self-expression of Scrambler Ducati riders. Ducati originated the Scramblers in response to demand from American riders for motorcycles that incorporated the performance aspects of European racing motorcycles with the spirit and capabilities of bikes that could be ridden anywhere, including the vast open deserts of the southwest, where scrambler-style motorcycles were popular.

Tesla slashes prices on its Cybertruck and Cyberbeast
Now you can buy a Cybertruck for 20K less

Aside from the obvious, Tesla is not a car company that fits into the typical mold of the historically significant players up to this point. Elon Musk's company chooses when and what to report on an occasionally erratic timetable that seems a tad suspicious to critics of the EV giant.

However, it seems that Tesla is following one of the tried-and-true moneymaking strategies we've seen repeatedly in the autoverse. With the introduction of a new highly anticipated vehicle, whether that is the Chevrolet Corvette or the Maserati GranTurismo, price points are typically highest in the beginning, subject to occasional (and often insane) dealer markups, in an attempt to capitalize on demand. But, when that demand begins to wane, it is time to add new trims or variations to the lineup and, of course, cut prices to allow a whole new customer base entry into the exclusive club of XYZ car or truck. In this case, it is the Cybertruck.
