It looks like Audi has released the 19 A8s, Q7s, and Q8s from port. Hopefully this means the 5's will be released soon...has anyone else heard anything from their dealers? Mine gave me a delivery date of last week and that obviously has come and gone.

After a month of collecting dust in Emdem, my S5SB finally departed and is on its way to San Diego. Now just hoping they'll launch the 2019s before my car gets here!

I finalized a 19 A5SB order out of my dealer's allocation on 10/5/18 (order placed 9/29/18, with small correction on 10/5), with a production week of 4518 (Nov 5). However, I received an email yesterday (10/29) that production was complete. I'm in New Mexico, so I think my port is Houston.

Nice, and there are ships departing for Houston every 3-4 days in the next 2 weeks so yours may land before mine.

I went to my dealer today to get another temp tag(they've let me have a loaner for a month now), and the sales manager said that the 19's will be released tomorrow, Nov 1. Take it with a grain of salt though as I've been told that they would be released "next week" for the last 5 weeks.

I hope that's true. Mine is at the port in Houston (has been since roughly 10/23) and they haven't been able to give me a release date. For reference for others looking for timeline information, production was complete on 9/19/18. Please let me know if you hear anything else about the release date.

Only the A8, Q7 and Q8 have been let loose so far. I've read about A6 and A7 showing up at dealers next week so hopefully the 4 and 5 are not far behind.

Looks like the 6s and 7s were released to dealers today....hopefully that means the 4s and 5s will be following soon. Had I known it would take 5 months to get my car I would have sourced one from out of state.
