First Black Optic?
I am new to Audi making the transition over from the VW world. It was time for me to transition into something a little more serious. I had been waiting to order this car since 2016 (never came). On 3/15 I was finally able to place my order exactly how I wanted it sans the BO package. I have spent my fair share of time glancing through the forums waiting to poke my head. I was fortunate enough to catch the new order guide the day it came out and was able to contact my dealer and request the addition of the BO. Now I know this isn't for everyone and I am not sure it's even completely for me. Nevertheless, I enjoy the way both versions of the car look and decided to take the opportunity to be an early adopter. Anyways, although my dealer said they could modify my order they were unable to and instead reordered the same car with the BO. The first car I ordered showed up at the dealer yesterday and the BO version is scheduled for 6/20. Seems like it could be one of the first of its kind in the US and will be eager to share some images with everyone.

On a side note, I do not really get regular updates from my dealer. I have my COMM# NS3896 and was interested in getting an update on the progress. I know it missed the production date but was still scheduled to be delivered on time.

BTW, since you have listed the Tech Pkg., you should have the Premium Plus. There's no Prestige Plus only Prestige (which comes with the Tech Pkg.).

Interesting that your production date is before mine but you are expecting to receive your car a month after mine. I assume the dealer is giving you the most conservative date and mine the optimistic. Seems my dealer expects the 6/22 based on experience. Where are you located? Mine will be coming to Pittsburgh.

OP, congrats and that's a nice build. I have on order the same color combination and originally had the BO package. Though I had the dealer remove it preferring the 19" V-spoke rims and aluminum trim with the Daytona Grey. In my opinion, either combination should look good.
BTW, since you have listed the Tech Pkg., you should have the Premium Plus. There's no Prestige Plus only Prestige (which comes with the Tech Pkg.).

Haha also yes "premium plus".

Thanks for the update. I assume it will be the 6/22 date as the dealer is using the minimum date and the other order arrived on the minimum date as well.

I am on the "Viking Queen" ETA to Halifax 6/16 and Davisville 6/19. Felt like the 3 month wait went pretty fast up until I figured out what ship it's on. I can't even tell the boat is moving until I check the next day. Keep getting scared its stuck or taken over by pirates.
