"SRAM has acknowledged this slow shift speed, saying that the decision was made to slow down the shifting speed in an effort to prolong battery life"
It wasn't in an article, it was in a comment:
"You forgot to mention that eTap stays on & suffers battery drain when being transported on a vehicle roof rack unless you remove the batteries. This is why some SRAM teams have mechanical Red bikes as spares. I also question how water resistent the battery seal will be after a year of the batteries being taken on and off. SRAM also do not actually state that its waterproof only that its been tested in wet weather."
