Doesn't appear so by your timing, as mine has been sitting in Davisville since Nov 2nd. It was built Oct 8th but then the ship moored in Emden for a week longer than originally scheduled.
Dealership (Norwell) said they'd be receiving it this week.... but that's what they said last week .... and here it is Thursday ...
Supposedly many Audi's have been held up there for quite some time now.
I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news and hopefully yours will be released quicker.
I ordered mine June 6th. This has been quite an odyssey.

Sorry for your ordeal, Huey. I wonder if the backup at the port has anything to do with all the VAG diesel drama of late. Probably not the main cause but I can imagine it being a factor.

edit: Mine just arrived at the dealership. I'll be stopping by tomorrow morning!!! 
Yunno, I'm not usually a conspiracy theory type but it had crossed my mind that they needed to re-verify software in port related to emissions reporting.

Turns out the delay in US port was related to a steering upgrade of some sort. The German Audi engineers were available but had to await parts.
