Both builds are showing a mid-late January build completion. I was hoping to get my 2019 in 2018 lol

Just got my update...

“Hey! That’s still was (12/4) is showing. It’s still in “Held” status, but the ETA is the same. I think Audi is just marking everything incoming as “held” until we sell more 2018’s

I’ve been told we should see the first Sportbacks within 30 days though. “

you *may* be able to pick up a launch car if you need to get one before year end but my dealer charges a $5k premium and it’s likely not exactly how you built yours. I have my rep watching out for their first delivery though so I can go actually see one in person. Still kinda crazy to buy these cars sight unseen.

Same thing happened with me. I had a 10/23/2018 build date and it moved to January. Fml it's Audi exclusive tho and an allroad sooo idk if that makes a difference

I have the same exact build completion date as Tbone, according to my sales person, I spoke with him yesterday. He seems to think the car will be at the dealership by the end of DEC. I believe it will be the middle of Jan like Tbone.

My "Production Complete" shows 1/22/19 (ETA)
Holds - Yes
Holds Type - Distribution
Holds Type - Launch
Production Week - 5018

Where do you guys show the "Held" status? Are you both referring to the "Holds" being yes? I wonder why there are two "Hold Types"

My other build has the following:
Production Complete - 1/24/19 (ETA)
Holds - Yes
Holds Type - Distribution
Holds Type - Launch
Production Week - 5018

Both builds Frozen to Changes Date was 11/14/2018.

I have a feeling all these cars will be built at the end of December and arrive mid January. Or at least those of us who were the first to order.

I agree evanseric21.

I haven't seen where the Holds are Eric. I'm going by what My Salesman is telling me. I told him there was no rush for me, if I received the car in Jan that was fine, so I don't see why he would tell me an earlier date.
