So, my non-scientific hypothesis is that the A5’s will be released soon, with a correlation to when the A5 appears in the pull-down menu. This being my first Audi, and not yet having a VIN on my completed A5SB build, I have been trolling the My Audi to make an account for about a month.
I think if your model shows up on Audi Models Page , the model has been released.

Default Seasonal Incentives

Seasonal Incentives

I wonder if my dealer will pass the $750 incentive on to me or if they'll say it's already included in my negotiated discount?

I was told incentives will be applied based on what is available at time of delivery. What is available at time or order or before delivery occurs will not apply.

So, my S5SB has landed but is still in pre-launch hold. Dealer says release is planned for December at the same time as the RS5SB but couldn't provide a specific date.

Most likely the dealer would say it's already included in the negotiated discount! Mine did because dealers are sneaky! The only information they openly and willingly to show you is the "dealer invoice". Because it is a fake #! I just negotiated a certain percentage off the MSRP, the dealer that is giving me the most % off wins! This one dealer was giving 9.5% which beat out the best one I had gotten by .5%. But then he said the $1000 Audi finance and the $750 Cash bonus are already included. This is after I put down a deposit and ordered. I may back out since a few other dealerships whom I sent emails to are now replying and are aggressively wanting my business. Also, my dealer kept on saying the car would be here and wasn't for 3 times! Get this, I didn't order this from factory, the dealer searched the car and found one that I wanted 500 miles away in another dealership! He said they will swap! This was 3 weeks ago! I don't understand what is the hold up. He said he has no control! Yeah right! So I will give him one more week, if I don't get the car, I will take my business somewhere else!

Default Still at the port (I think) - updates anyone?

As far as I know, my S5 SB is still at the port in Houston and has been since 10/23. Dealer is quiet, no new updates, though I haven't asked in a while. Has anybody else heard anything from their dealer? This is getting ridiculous...

Frustrating - On the bright side, all that time waiting in Emden didn't delay your delivery.

For what it's worth, my order sheet "Released to Carrier" date used to be blank and now shows 12/13/18 ETA.

Vegas currently has an even moneyline for whether the MY2019 vehicles will be released in 2018 or 2019.

Damn — Some people will bet on Anything! I wonder if Vegas has a line on if the sun will shine tomorrow?
