I checked the review and It's both good and bad.

The most economic Tesla Y cost 17.4 pence/mile while RSQ8 24.79 pence/mile, It cost 30% less.
You would say not bad, but we are talking about a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 produces 631 horsepower managing 60mph in 3.1s. That's clearly not an economic car, so this result is pretty bad.

On the other hand, If you can charge at home then you pay

Wow, groundbreaking journalism here — pitting EVs against a 2.5-ton V8 Audi RSQ8, one of the thirstiest gas-guzzling SUVs on the market. What’s next, comparing energy efficiency of a bicycle to a cargo ship? If you wanted a fair comparison, maybe throw in a normal diesel wagon or hybrid instead of a €150k status symbol that guzzles fuel like it’s free. Of course a tuned-for-performance RS is going to look bad on running costs… this isn’t range supremacy, it’s just cherry-picking.
