That sucks! I don't understand what is going on over there. Mine was just moved up from week of 9/26 to week of 9/12. So must be color or option related.

But 9/12 is almost a month away so will not get my hopes up. I did have a clearer picture of where my Bimmer was in 01 but after you get the car that all goes away. Patience!

Good for you that yours has been moved earlier by 14 days! My original ETA was Sept.26 (just like yours) when I paid the $1K reservation. Then, they moved it to Oct. 10 (2 weeks late). And now, it's Oct. 17 (3 weeks late). I need to be more patient, but you have more options than mine & I have the standard color.

I'm tempted to ask my dealer to find other S4s or S5s in stock at other Audi dealers. The wait is a killer with 2 postponements.

Looks like mine is riding over with yours. Due at the Port of Houston on Sept. 2.

Read the post on the Ti package, where the delays are longer.

Anything can happen along the supply chain (like parts not being available) or logistics and will cause delays to happen.

And you totally missed my point. This discussion is way over your head. You say tracking is pointless .. No. Time is "relative" not EXACT! Now, if you don't understand the relativity of time, you're way over your head. LOL. This is why tracking if very important - it compresses time! Now, do you understand? LOL
