I was able to get 3% off + applicable incentives from a dealer I have bought a few cars from on a Q8 I ordered a few weeks ago. I have seen other members mention 4% off.
Negotiating for the Q8 was a little annoying. The dealer initially wanted MSRP which wasn't happening - they claimed they hadn't sold a Q8 for under MSRP yet. Also, I knew that in just a few months the hype will wear off and the deals will likely get better. I am hoping the Q8 gets added to the list of cars eligible for the ACNA 6% discount before my car arrives in March. I will have a trade in so my plan is to negotiate a little harder there when it is time.

I got 6% plus the $1000 dollar incentive for taking a loan through Audi, which I paid off as soon as i got the loan papers in the mail. Seemed like an easy way to get an extra 1000 discount. I think the financing incentive was linked to owner loyalty.

Dont you have to keep the loan for a few months before paying it off?

I was told by the dealer that you couldn’t prepay for 6 months but there is no such clause in the afs contract when I looked into it. Just eats into dealers profit. So I paid off as soon as I got my account no..

the dealer is paid on the car once it’s reported and paperwork is submitted to AFS
what does happen is the dealer can be charged back all the incentives if paid before 6 months at most dealers (3 at others, depends on volume). So, it’s a good way to say “screw you” to the dealer, should you choose to do so

it does affect what can be charged back to the dealer down the road, in the form of the incentives on the deal. Any profit from financing is realized by the dealer regardless
