There are 0 SQ5's with DAP in the US

There are 34, nationwide, that are in transit from the factory

Things happen to delay production all the time - no matter what brand it is. Your dealer should be your first point of contact
It's no big deal in the end. Only wish they were better about updating the status so we (myself and my brand specialist) weren't left wondering.

Audi should invest in a better order tracking system. I've ordered an X3 in the past from BMW and they had a much better system for customers to get information on their order.

I agree. I wish status updates were way and more precise/ accurate. I don't even mind delays so long as they are communicated properly without having to prode for the information.

I have a Q5 w/ DAP scheduled to be production complete today. It's status of "factory" has not changed since last Tuesday as far as I know (4 days).

My SA this morning said it might take a day or two for the system to update. Told me to check back tomorrow (Saturday) or on Monday.

My Prestige with DAP has always had a build week of 3017 (July 23). Just got a printout yesterday showing Production Complete 0n 08/01 & current status "In Transit from Factory". Current ETA is 08/24 - 09/17 but I have a sneaking hunch it'll be a little sooner than that.

@cadx6
Is this for a sq5 or q5? My dates are the same for a Q5.

My SQ5 with DAP had a production week of 2917. I received word that it left the factory on Monday of this week and is en route to Canada.

Are you in the US or Canada? My salesperson reached out and got some cryptic response about the definition of "production week" from a area sales manager.

Here's my last status:

I am in the US. I have had Production complete dates (ETA) of 06/11/2017, 07/14/2017 which is the same as yours and 07/27/2017. The (ETA) dates appear to be WAGs as we would say in the Military. I will believe my SQ5 is built when I see a production date without the (ETA). In the information age a company, producing luxury automobiles, should be able to provide accurate updates to their customers,
