Things seem to be moving along. My SQ5 hit Port Thursday June 15 and was released For shipping Monday the 19th, that's 2 business days and includes the Quality check and install of the Tow Package. According to my dealer Q's are Getting an extra quality check. Shouldn't take long to see if the headrest is crooked, ha ha.
This timing exceeds my expectations since it was built on May 25th. I should have it within about 30days from build vs 6 weeks Audi estimated. Hope everyone else waiting gets their's soon.

I believe the production delays have something to do with labour disputes. Here's an article about it dated May 1, 2017:
At Audi plant, labor tensions stir
The dispute may have been resolved. Depending on the number of production days lost due to it, they'll have to do some serious catching up to make up for the lost time.

The dissident leader said workers are making only about $15 a day and aren't receiving competitive fringe benefits that are typical in the auto industry here, such as monthly grocery vouchers and adequate incentives for attendance and productivity
