A3/S3 delivery lead time?

Hi all ordered A3 Sportback, edition 1, 40 Tfsi, c/s, quattro, nav blue, spare wheel on 26/04/21 had a Email from dealership today car is in Uk port waiting for transport to dealer,
Good news however also frustrating knowing I’ve got nearly the exact same order one month before and it’s still not started production
 
Picked up my 40 TFSI e this morning. Ordered 5 months ago so seems I got lucky, perhaps they are prioritizing hybrids ( make more profit on them/green credentials?). Wireless phone charging was fitted as ordered. Android Auto is now wireless. Also dealer mentioned that MMI had now been fixed to stop SOS message. Wait and see on that one!

Still no joy with Audi UK via Facebook.

How are some dealerships providing updates but Audi UK are unable to. Where are the dealerships getting the info from :expressionless:
I know it’s ridiculous. My leasing company is useless with updates too. Not heard off them in over a month. I even asked if I could place an order on 2 new cars for my business which they didn’t get back to me either so placed the order elsewhere. You collect yours soon don’t you?

My leasing company has been the same. I’ve had to phone them to get updates because they never replied to my emails. It’s due at the dealership on Monday. Hopefully they’ll get in touch to arrange delivery for next week

It’s so frustrating. Glad your getting yours soon. At least they are actually producing some. Enjoy and get some pictures when it arrives.

The first RS3 has been delivered to the UK, after only opening it's order book in August. Audi are a pain in the backside!!

That’s ridiculous 3 months if that yet some of us have been waiting months and months and still no build date. Audi is backwards
 
Normal practice

Normal practice when dealing with a scarce resource....you proitise the product that gives the most profit contribution (not good for us)
 
That's my vehicle finally at the Dealership and will be delivered to me 1 week today (1st November) - they were pushing for Thursday this week but didn't suit me (typical). Something to look forward to and there is finally a lot of light at the end of this tunnel! :smiley::smiley:

That’s great news. How long had you been waiting?

The car at Portsmouth is your car ?
 
Mine was due at the dealership today and surprise surprise, I haven’t heard a thing :coldsweat:
I bet you’re so excited,
Oh no, I wouldn’t have been able to stop myself calling them :) Yes, excited but worried about driving it out the showroom!! I’m used to a very basic car :)

I’ll be calling tomorrow for definite. My leasing company is so bad at getting back to me, I don’t even know which dealership it’s going to. I’m the same, I’ve got a very basic car and I’ve gone for an automatic, never driven one in my life. Enjoy xx

You will love Auto
 
Well the miracle finally happened and my car was delivered today. Looks lovely and everything is as it should be.
Setting up the mmi is a pain though, I cannot set user for some reason and keep getting ‘notes’ popping up informing me about different things. I cannot see how to turn them off.
Only driven about a mile to the beach and back so far but it feels great to drive.

That is a P take. How on earth can they tell you it’s on its way, it’s here then it will be ready to collect soon when it’s not even built. It’s disgusting.
 
Oh my god. What a complete farce. How can that happen!? I would be ranting :(
My leasing company are shocking! I phoned on Friday and they confirmed 25th. They mentioned the dealership so I’ve gone straight to them and I’m waiting for a call from the manager. I can’t believe it
 
What a ****** farce, so it is built and at the port ready to go on a ship. It’s at status 30, anyone know what this means?
