Just received this from Audi of America

”I have been in direct contact with our Product Support teams who have communicated that an MMI update is expected to be released towards the end of January, 2020”

Great to hear and that matches up exactly with what my dealership told me a few weeks ago. Thanks for the FYI.

Clearly VW group as a whole just isn't good at software design -"Germany’s Manager Magazine reports today that Volkswagen is struggling with software problems for its ID3 all-electric car. According to the report, the ID3 will be built for months with an incomplete software architecture that could affect up to 20,000 electric cars. These units, intended for sales in Europe and not the US, will require a manual software update."

What is with the electro magnetic shielding? Protection from a thermonuclear explosion?

All they did was put a metal plate backing to the rear view screen on the driver’s side. We shall see if it has the desired effect.

According to the German e-tron forum the "big" software update got pushed back to March/April. We will see...

That would be a heart breaker. That is a solid quarter. Purely guessing but that leads me to believe that we are talking about a software update that will require a visit to the dealer rather than a series of OTA updates. I can imagine them wanting to limit service visits to one in that period of time and not want everybody having to visit twice.
