Hmm so you think the tracking system outage is being used to cover up a bigger problem....interesting
A3/S3 delivery lead time?
- Thread starter Ludus
- Start date
I contacted BMW in August and they were able to find me cars with confirmed build weeks in November and December.
Now you are looking at next year. But at least with BMW they are able to give you a reasonable estimate.
Im going to BMW today to see what they can do had enough with Audi now.
I wanted to add on the flat bottom steering wheel. Was told I could not as order locked in. If I wanted to add it it would be a new order and that would take me into next year for delivery.
So I’ve just spoke to BMW. Current build date for 1 series is Jan 22 with delivery in Feb 22.
Amazes me how BWM can be so well organised compare to Audi.
I think Audi may lose a lot of business to competitors this year and next!!!
I’m also considering the Cupra Formentor now.

That's very interesting. It does then beg the question .. Why are Audi currently, in what appears to be such an unprecedented unorganised mess!
Audi's lack of transparency is renowned mate and they've been like this on a few occasions over the last 5 years mainly when new models are being released
That's a good time line by BMW ...new reg time
My son has just put in a order for his demo car A6 e55 tfsi black edition it arrives in 6 weeks.. so it's only specific cars that have been held back even longer than normal
The global chip shortage has obviously had a big impact on everyone. However it looks like Audi’s organisation, planning and management of the situation is the bigger problem. They don’t seem to be able to manage their orders effectively and effective prioritisation is none existent.
Audi are useless in a crisis, just look at the emissions scandal. I'm like you, looking at BMW or Cupra. My order has had numerous estimated build dates, now Feb next year and if that sticks will be a year from order, however I suspect it will move again. Audi won't let me extend my current A4 PCP again, resulting in me having no car.
A complete joke of a company.
Their technicians can't be working that hard to get it fixed, been down now for sometime. I suspect the system is working just fine and they have been to say this to Audis not so valued customers. Or I'm I just cynical?
I had that message over two weeks ago.
I deleted my messenger conversation and sent another message and they told me my car was at the dealer.
I think it all depends on who you get answering your message.

This doesn't sound promising:

Audi has halted production of multiple models
All because of the ongoing semiconductor chip crisis.

This is a major concern and will cause even more delays.This doesn't sound promising:

If I find an alternative car then I’m definitely getting something else.
So if you want the e-tron GT or R8 you’ll be fine. Looks like we should all cancel and order R8sThis doesn't sound promising:

That's the final nail in the coffin ⚰ for me.(if true)This doesn't sound promising:

Who knows what's happening. I don't even think Audi know

Audi Stopped Building Cars This Week
Only a couple of models are being affected by the current crisis.

This is also interesting;

Just received email from my dealer BW moved again from week 48 to week 02 .
My order went in early February so it’s going to be over a year before I get my hands on the car unbelievable.

Ye but when I ordered my Audi they gave me a build date and delivery of Dec 31st as you can probably guess it's no longer Dec but Feb now

I ordered in April and was told a few weeks ago a confirmed build week of 37 however had no information since until this ( the first text I’ve received from Audi) was sent this morning:
Thank you for ordering a new Audi, we are really looking forward to you getting behind the wheel of your new car. Your order is on the production line, however it is taking a little longer than expected due to the global shortage of semiconductor chips. We are sorry about this, please be assured it is our priority and your Audi Centre will be in touch when they have more information. Audi UK.
Anybody’s guess what this actually means!
Also an April order with BW37 received the same text, so I'm going to assume that text was just an automatic thing and means nothing.
Tend to agree with you. It seems like an appeasement text which comes from Audi’s nebulous cloud of information, you look inside and there’s nothing there!!
Feeling a bit embarrassed by this, ordered 28th May, allocated an unconfirmed build week on 12 June of week 34, which slipped to week 35. Just been told that I can collect the car before the end of this week.
Don’t be embarrassed, it’s nice to hear some are getting through. Be interesting to hear whether any of your spec has been compromised
40 TFSI E in sport trim, with C & S, High Beam Assist, Storage pack and wireless charging. As far as I am aware, its all there but will know in next few days.
Interesting if you get the wireless charging, I was told beginning of september mine wouldn't be getting it as they've got rid of it as an option.
I ordered A3 1 edition, pano roof ,storage pack ,advanced key, space saving wheel and toolkit, also comfort and sound.
So I’m now starting to wonder if i’m the person with the longest wait from ordering to still having no build date. Order placed 12 Mar 21.
Anyone else ordered before that with no build date yet?
starting to wonder if there has been some error with my order
