Clutch slipping on takeoff
I've got a 2020 A35 sedan, and on takeoff from a stop it feel like the car is slipping the clutch for almost a full second before clicking into 1st and actually giving me power. If I use race start it picks up just fine. Anybody else have this issue and talk to a dealer?

I was able to basically get used to it. If you push the throttle far enough it will takeoff like a rocket, but the point to which you have to push is further than I expected and you either get 0 power or 100% power. Using reduced power mode helps it go through traffic more slowly, but I ended up pretty much always gunning it. More fun this way anyways.
