Could be a trim piece, or upholstery color...
Mine is Prestige, I think every option except tow pkg. Typhoon Gray, black interior. 9/18 order, 3/8 lock, 21" turbine wheels. Was supposed to go into production 4/5, told today it is now ESTIMATED for production week of 5/6. Something caused it to push out 30 days. Since later reservations got moved in front of it, that tells me it's not lack of batteries or labor. FWIW, they are aware that we aren't happy about the lack of information and transparency. Their response to that was to start quoting the delivery time frames we are starting to see (14 to 16 weeks). Unfortunately my confidence in anything before "leaving factory" is pretty low.

Rear side airbags and illuminated seat belt buckles
Privacy Cargo Cover
My order is a Prestige in Galaxy Blue/Black, and has the same options as Larry's. Maybe it's the 21" wheels that are holding up production?

My suspicion is that it's the rear seat air bags. I ordered a loaded Prestige on September 16, and Audi built it on March 8. However, they left off the rear seat air bags package. When I protested that they didn't build the vehicle I ordered, they put me back in the line with a new production date sometime later this month.

That might be it. I thought I ordered the rear seat airbags but it was missing from my "locked configuration". My order date was 1/28, locked config 3/28, gearing up 4/3, in production 4/5. I ordered Prestige, Manhattan Gray, black interior, 21 inch wheels but no tow package so maybe that's the constraint.

I too thought I ordered the rear airbags and lighted seat belts, but I can't find it on the configuration that's being built...

Pkulak,
Then I am not the only one. I swore I added the rear airbags and lighted seat belts and then when I checked my configuration the other day the site did not sure them. I called the Audi support line and they are seeing if they can add them back. They are looking in to it.

Oh good idea. I emailed my dealer, but it's probably way better to call that support line.

That option has recently been removed from my configuration as well!

I looked on my "reservation details" page, and the rear side airbags and lighted seat belt buckles are not listed even though I am positive I ordered them. However, when I configured an identical e tron with that option, the MSRP came out exactly the same as what is listed on my reservation details page (minus the $995 destination fee). So maybe the "reservation details" page just leaves out that option due to a glitch?
