German cars have long been able to notify the owner of the need for maintenance. The on-board computer takes into account not only the mileage, but also the number of motor hours and other parameters. However, sometimes even precision German technology fails. So, an electric crossover Audi E-Tron demanded an oil change. The catch is that the E-Tron does not have an internal combustion engine, and therefore no motor oil.
Electric vehicle expert Georg Konjovic tweeted about the unexpected message on the dashboard.
In fact, such a glitch is explained simply: the electronics of the E-Tron crossover, and with it the on-board computer software, are widely unified with other Audi models. The company's programmers simply forgot to remove this warning from the electric car.
By the way, despite the absence of the need to change the oil, the Audi E-Tron still has a strict service interval - 15,000 km or one year. During maintenance, the service center must check the thickness of the brake pads, inspect the anthers of the CV joints, make sure that the suspension elements and tie rod ends are intact. And once every 30,000 km or every two years, mechanics will inspect the cooling system of high-voltage components of an electric vehicle, the operation of the panoramic roof, the condition of the paintwork and other elements.
