One thing to keep in mind is that the Q8's new battery is a lot more temperature sensitive. In the cold, it mostly hangs at 100kW and peaks to 130kW. The original e-tron would still start a bit slow in the cold, but it would still get up to 150kW no problem.
This is what I have seen so far as well. Will be interesting to see what happens as the temps rise in the spring / summer.

It might be market dependent. My 2019 had them, but they were not listed as an option in Canada last year for the 2024s.
We have a 2021 Etron and are trying to decide whether or not to get the 2024 Q8 etron... I drove the Q8 and feel it is almost the same car inside so they only reason I'd upgrade is if there was a huge difference in the battery range. Obviously any articles say it's better but does anyone have any other insight? On a "perfect" weather day my 100% charge is about 265 miles and they advertise the 2024 as 275 so that doesn't seem to be much different but as we know it's not really 265 miles.
we had a 21 and got 190-200 range and just got a 24 due to the higher range. We’re only getting 200-220. Disappointing bump in range given the stated range.

You can't make statements about the approx range unless you state what kind of ambient temperatures you are talking about. I had a 2019 etron quattro and now have a Q8 etron.sportback. In summer when the temps are in the low 80s, my 2019 would reach close to 210 and 295 mi , respectively, close to the EPA values. While I find the max range for the Q8 is significantly greater, I think it is more sensitive to temperature (lower cobalt chemistry). Now, in Feb, with temps in the 40's, the est range for the Q8 has dropped to about 250mi. Under similar conditions, the 2019 would drop to about 195 mi. ( note that the Q8 SUV has an EPA of 285mi, while my Sportback has 295mi).. So, be sure you are comparing the cars under similar ambient temp conditions.

I have a 2024 Q8 etron Fastback. Range problem from day one. Dealer says they have checked and the battery is within Audi spec. 80% charge gives 179 mls and 100% - 224 mls.. Would love to hear 80 & 100%range achieved by other 2024 Q8 owners.

What size wheels are your running/temps? My Q8 on 21" wheels shows 209/87% which is 240 miles calculated for mixed highway/city driving. Have seen 280 if driving on back roads ~45mph. What speeds are you traveling?

I have a Q8 etron sportback. Been in the 30s/40sF here for the past few months and my reported range at 80% has been in the upper 190's. Temps are starting to warm into the 60s and my range is creeping up to 210 at 80%.. I've had my car since July 2023 and over that timeframe I find the cars range will drop by 14% going from the 80s/90s to the 30s/40s. Your reported numbers do seem low.
Aside from the usual drop in cold temps this past winter, I've seen this type of result since May '23 delivery. Non-Sportback, 20 inch wheels, standard tire pressures, Efficiency mode. Most of my driving is suburban, some 60 mph, some town. I believe when I charged to 80% yesterday it showed 290. Just like EPA for ICE, results do vary amongst drivers.

If you are actually getting that range at those SoC levels, you have the most efficient etron ever made; a true Unicorn.
