Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024?

    Sounds like incomplete fuel ignition, but could be caused by several different things. "Safe" is a difficult thing to determine.... on a scale of risk, I would say that it is relatively "safe" for you, but it may not do the car any favors. At most risk is likely the exhaust system due to fouling by unburned fuel. It is probably best to flatbed it there or a reputable Audi shop.

    I took your advice and paid the tow instead of possibly causing serious damage....I'll post the findings.
    Thanks
