Just ordered mine (23rd May), and delivery is due 21st of September. I assume mine is assembled in North America. I looked into many cars, only the XC90 was a close close second. Q7 success probably comes from the fact that if you look for a 2nd generation SUV, many brands are not there yet (X5 etc)
There is no version of the 4M Q7 that is assembled in North America. For now, they are all assembled at the Bratislava, Slovakia factory. Unlike BMW and Mercedes, Audi has yet to move some of their crossover/suv production to North America yet, though the next generation Q5 is to built in a fancy new Mexican factory, but that's not exactly NA.
Minor accessories like roof bar, protective film, tow hitch 7-pin socket, are installed at the destination port, but that's about it as far as North American assembly.

We had the first '17 Q7 special order in our area. Placed the order in November, 15 & received our '17 Q7 Prestige in April. We ordered every option, except the B & O stereo & Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE).
The good news: he Q7 arrived and is absolutely wonderful! Quieter than my'13 S8 and the Bose 3D stereo seems to be actually better then the B & O in the S8. The ride with the air suspension is superb. Seats, interior, lighting is of the highest quality.
The bad news: we ordered the 21" wheels and the car came without them. We ordered the driver assistance package and the car came without the package. It is important to us for safety.
The good news: our dealer gave us a discount to take the car; ordered us a new Q7 and we agreed upon only a slight added cost and get to drive the current Q7 until the new ride arrives in October.
Our dealer went out of his way to make the deal right.
I thought about getting the 21" tires. But after quite a bit of research, I found that a lot of people were unhappy with the tread wear (around 17k mile life) and noisy ride on the gen 1 Q7. Also only a few choices for tires that were very expensive ($350-$450 each). I decided to stick with the 20" wheels.

I assume it is assembled in Slovakia as all other Q7.

Get the Q7, it is worth it.
@Ferrari27 I had similar bad news on my order. In my case the Q7 I ordered was built without Active Suspension and Black Alcantara headliner. Luckily I found this error when I asked my salesperson for the VIN after it was built and was being shipped. My dealer was able to get another build scheduled for me but not until week 32. In my case I can keep driving what I have. Sounds like both of us have great dealers.
This makes at least 3 orders that I know of that have been messed up.
Chatting with my Audi salesman yesterday, and he told me about a special order Q7 that showed up, and it had the wrong inlays installed. He told his customer they ordered the correct inlays, and would install them upon arrival.
She (new owner) was appalled they weren't shipping her Q7 back to Slovakia for correction, and they had a hard time convincing her their techs were more than capable of making the change here!

Wow, almost hoping they forget the engine on mine !
Echoing what larryV said, I spent 5 hours on the floor at the DC Auto show, looking for a replacement for my long in the tooth FX35. With the Q7, it was love at first sight. The Volvo was very nice, but 2nd to the Q7. Everything else - Lexus, M-B, BMW, Acura, even Buick, didn't even inspire me to take a closer look. And a test drive nailed it!
The Q7 is quiet luxury. Solid, built like a tank but handles like a sport sedan. Classy interior, great sound system, bells and whistles galore, and at night the cabin lights up with a stunning display - a knockout. I could easily see myself driving this magnificent car cross country.
