Why does the Audi e-Tron have a lower top speed than other electric cars on the market?

I noticed that the Audi e-Tron has a top speed of 124 mph, while other electric cars like the Tesla Model X have top speeds of over 155 mph. What is the reason for this difference and how does it affect the overall performance of the e-Tron?

The Audi e-Tron has a lower top speed due to its use of a single-speed transmission. This is necessary to optimize the torque and power delivery of the two electric motors.

While the higher top speed of other electric cars may seem appealing, the e-Tron's emphasis on torque and acceleration makes it more suitable for daily driving situations. Plus, it still has plenty of power for passing and merging on highways.
