My Audi Q6 Etron has 1 year and 10,390 miles. I was informed by the dealership that tires are already showing excessive thread wear causing a safety hazard due to lack of traction. Replacement is needed. This was never disclosed by Manufacturer or dealership until last Friday during the 10,000 mile service. Short life span was hidden to me until my first service and is affecting all Audi Q6 Etron owners.
