I received an update first week in April that the ETA for US Port was April 25th. So if the email notification is accurate, the car should arrive at dealer within 10 days...but I'm not counting on it. My dealer was kind enough to loan me an A6 since my BMW lease expired over a week ago. Anyways, this has been a frustrating experience that should all be forgotten in less than 10 days.

I'm sure no one has been able to tell you why your car has been delayed. So frustrating.

If it helps, my car went into production the first few days of March and I'm hopefully taking delivery tomorrow. I've had delays every step of the way.

From everything I've read, it looks like it'll be several months before delivery.

Also, Audi "owner in waiting" email updates only happen if your dealership signs you up for them.

I see that you've been waiting since... November!? Wow. I hope you get your car soon... amazed that you've held on this long.
