The only difference between yours and mine is the outside paint (mine is Utopia Blue), the inlays (the Walnut), and I didnt have the Cold Weather or Rear side airbags. None of those should be an issue. My production week was 2 weeks before yours and was built 7/29, made it to port (San Diego CA) 8/15 and to the dealer on 8/29. I must have just missed the wheel shortage. My car was hung up at port for almost 2 weeks. I hope your car gets completed soon.

Thank you and thank you to all. The issue is with Audi AG and we simply do not have contact points for them. At least I don't. If anyone does though, "sharing is caring"!

You can try the Audi Customer Experience forum over on Audizine. I was able to get more information quickly from their rep over there.

Most of the information I got was the same as you. Just a wheel shortage and other cars stuck on the line.

Personally I do not think its a wheel / tire issue holding up a line. Mine was ordered 6/12, has the same wheels and has been built. Could it be another style wheel holding the line? perhaps but they would not start a car on the line without all components in place. We know it's not the DAP, cold weather, grey oak inlays holding it up since cars have been coming with those options. Could Cakasky's build have been damaged on the line that they had to start over?

Great advice! I am going to head over there now.

From what I was told there are multiple lines at the factory. Mine is on one they stopped "due to a wheel shortage". I agree it just doesn't make sense as other vehicles are obviously being built and pushed through. I asked my SA that exact question about it being damaged on the line and they had to start over. His response, "Nothing has moved. I've never heard of a single car not passed an inspection in almost 6 years." So I am not 100% certain. Note: The context is in regards to that specific line because there is an SQ5 ahead of mine on that same line for the same dealer.

Yesterdays update is nearly all red at this point.

My Dealer Delivery has a smaller window of 09/22/2017 - 10/05/2017. They must be dropping cars off in Columbus before Cleveland.

Mine showed up on the dealer site a month ago and still isn’t to Houston. Probably will miss out on the $1500 Mfg discount too
