Bjorn Nyland tested them. Short version, M3 charges at higher rate up to about 50% SoC, but e-Tron holds high rate throughout with much less taper, and was charging more than twice as fast as M3 at/above 80% SoC. I believe this sort of charging with little taper will be very important for road trips and mass-market acceptance, even though it employs a brute force approach by oversizing the battery. The Model 3 is of course, much more efficient than the e-Tron, and the article's author hopes that the test is repeated with a Mod X instead of M3, as that's a much more comparable vehicle to the e-Tron than the Model 3 is. As Bjorn happens to own a Model X. . . .
