Thanks for the update. Sounds like a great car (no pun intended regarding the exhaust sounds!).

So overall, what was your flash to bang time - from ordering to delivery?

Ordered late July 2021 and took delivery late April this year (but there was some discussion on cost that delayed delivery by about a week or so).

Hello All - my first post ! :)

I ordered my new 55 TFSIe Competition in December 2021 for delivery on 1st September 2022, thinking I was giving them plenty of time.
The salesman said, "hmmm, yes we MIGHT be able to get you one by then".
Just been told last week, the car is made and on a boat from Mexico and could take another 6 weeks.
No discussion on price, but I assume they will be keeping to the figure we agreed in December...?

I was/am in the same situation as you. I ordered my Q5 55 in October 2021. The car was delivered to my dealer yesterday and I have arranged to collect it next Thursday. The price and configuration has not changed and my PCP repayments are the same as quoted originally. The 6 weeks is correct as it is shipped to Emden in Northern Germany then from there to the North of England then the South.

Yes, sounds about right.
This is the first time I have ever ordered a brand spanking new car to be made just for me, so it is all a bit weird

I have had Audi's for just over 40 years and weird only begins to describe the current supply situation.

I also have had many many Audi's over my long years, but always ordered s/h, low mileage, ex-demos, off the shelf, so I am used to:
"I'll have that one please" " Certainly sir, when would you like to collect it?" type conversations... :D

Weird probably describes the whole world we are living in at the moment.

Just been to see my Q5 55 tfsi e to check it over. The only item missing was the wireless charging mat. Who cares as where the mat should be there is a USB-C socket.

I ordered a Q5 50 TFSI e in Jan 2022. I was told delivery would be Aug 2022. I was then told in May 2022 that the build had been pushed back to March 2023. I checked in Jan 2023 and was told it had a week 4 build. I'm now being told that it's still not been allocated a build week. Am I having my pants pulled down by the broker?

Lead times can be very model and option specific. You could always wander into a dealer and ask them to check the lead time on their system. You should have a build number so that will be easily checked. If you haven't then the broker may be playing games. Aren't you now dealing direct with the dealer that the broker aligned you with?

Welcome to our forum :cool:
Sounds like you are being told porkies. Which broker? Name and shame

I received last August my Q5 55 tfsi e which was purchased from a franchised dealer. From order to delivery it took 10 months. My dealer gave me the Audi order number very early on in the process and kept me up to date with the manufacturing stage code. You are being told porkies. Get the Audi order number then get an franchised dealer to give you an update. The broker will have ordered from a dealer. Get the broker to tell you the dealer name then contact them with the Audi order number and then complain about the broker using any combination of four letter words you desire.

Congrats on your new ride, man! It's always exciting to hear about people getting new wheels. But damn, it sounds like the delivery process is a real pain in the butt. By the way, I'm also on the hunt for a new ride myself. I'm thinking of shipping a car from the dealership, and I stumbled upon some info on shipping a car cost. Have you ever shipped a car before? How much did it cost you? I'd love to hear your feedback on this. Anyway, this forum looks good, and I'm glad to be here. It's my first time here, and I'm really digging the vibe. So, what's up with you guys? What are you all driving these days?

Time for me to start from scratch. '23 spec car is about 3 weeks from delivery and I've just cancelled and gone with a loaded '23.5 spec car. The chip shortage excuse seems to have gone away and now we can order most (but not all) things in the UK.
I've gone for the Tech Pack Pro on my Sportback and a word of warning for anyone doing similar :

If you get the panoromic sunroof it appears you lose the ability to have the load separately net. I.e. the roof fixing points get removed. The German site warns of this but since Audi UK didn't list the fixing points they've also bot mentioned the removal of them. This is a bit of a pain for me but I'll get around it.

Anyone need a net as I bought one in preparation!!

Lead time on '23.5 cars isn't published yet even if some dealers are giving dates. It sound be September or into Quarter 4.

Wow you waited all this time and you’ve pushed it back another 5/ 6 months? What was it that you really wanted extra?

I think my Q5 would have been on the same ship to the UK as your old order, I would have liked the wireless charger but it’s not a deal breaker

It's only an extra 4 months 🤣

We generally spec cars highly and exactly how we want and keep them a long time. We don't do massive miles so it's easy to justify holding the car for 10 years. We agreed we'd both be frustrated if for the sake of 4 months we had 10 years of wishing we'd waited. My wide is petite and I'm, errm not. Always wanted memory seats. If the Vorsprung had memory instead of just electric then we may have gone for it. However we wanted the brightwork and not blacked out exterior and interior so it would have been a hard call. Now we can (almost) spec the car we want so feel fortunate we've had the chance to change.

If i gad the choice i wouldn't have paid for the HUD or self parking and was 50/50 on the panoramic roof. I was annoyed about the missing wireless charger and inability to order change (side) assist if you had adaptive cruise.

The 23.5 takes away some of my frustrations.

The two remaining ones are :
(1) on the Sportbook with a panoramic roof you dont get the ability to have the net separator. Thats something i use when i do motorbike track days to stop wheels and tools flying from the rear into the front.

(2) it appears the 40/20/40 rear split that you get on the Sport and isn't excluded on the website doesn't come on the s-line unless you have Bench Plus. I wanted Bench Plus but you can only have it with full leather and we want the dinamica.

(3) you cant order heated rear seats in the uk

(4) you don't get and can't order the rear side airbags

(5) cant order heated screen or steering wheel

(6) Couldn't order the wheels I wanted as a factory option so have bought them separately

OK, it was more than two frustrations 🤣🤣🤣 but we're happy with our choice to wait.

Hopefully should get it in September.

You’ve certainly put an awful lot of thought into that and it sounds like you know exactly what you want.

I thought the s line came with 40/20/40 rear seats or are you talking specifically about MY23.5 or the sport back?

The UK website seems to be in error. It lists the rear seats as coming as 40/20/40 but I've looked at four 23 spec Sportbacks and they don't have it. Actually that's not 100% true : the seat is split as expected and you can even see the latch but there doesn't appear to be any release for it. That's from two dealer visits and neither was aware of this. Audi UK are being asked to confirm.

On the Web it says s-line spec is in addition or replacement for Sport spec. Sport cars get it and it's not excluded on the S-line so in theory they should but that's not how it seems.

When you order you don't get a definitive breakdown of every item so it's always hard to prove what you ordered if the website has changed in between time. I screen shot them but I'm sure someone will just say 'it's an error'. Let's see what happens. Maybe a site update, maybe nothing and just leave punters to find out the hard way.
