How do you get on the Audi chat? I usually use Twitter but can wait upto a day or two.
Terrible news snakeJust had an update from the Dealer ....
"The system has just updated and for some reason rolled the build back a considerable amount of time to week 21 of next year"
Brilliant just brilliant !
So won't start build until end of May 2022.
That really has pi**ed me off ,,,,,,,,,,, what a crock of $hi7 !
You other Guys better prepare yourself for similar updates
@jassyo06 well it looks like you were right after all pal
Terrible news snake
Wow 7 months is a joke mate gutted for you .I know mate that was a body blow for sure and never anticipated a 7 month build adjustment.
Its certainly taken the shine off the experience.
Mine was a confirmed build week and has a different status to the estimated builds most are getting.
On all of my previous new build cars once I had a confirmed build week, it didn’t move. Granted they were vw rather than Audi but stage 2 was with the factory and that’s when you had estimated build weeks but stage 3 was confirmed build as they had all the parts etc and the build wouldn’t change. Stage 4 was actually building it but usually you skip straight to stage 5 as the build actually takes like 2 days a s the system didn’t keep up
Typically I would t expect any different here but with chip shortages that could impact it even yet - i do fear that even launch edition cars (like mine) are going to be pushed back…
No update from my dealer to confirm whether my car was actually built last week like it was supposed to have been though… we shall see in the next couple of days.
Hopefully that is the case mate
I see TRL (well known on BMW forum for doing great deals on M cars) saying no stock and 5-6 month lead times on all M models. He has nothing available until Mar 2022.
My JCW has made it through build and currently in QC, so on track for early Oct delivery
Got bored of waiting and put a deposit down on a nardo 2019 rs3 today. Sold my rs5 a couple of months ago and was planning to do without a car until my new rs3 comes but reading these comments I gave up. I've ordered a vorsprung aswell so I'm not expecting it to be here until next summer.
Man that's *****. Nothing worse than thinking your new pride and joy is essentially built only to find out it's not even started yet.Had an update from the dealer outlining that mine is status 20.
From what I can gather that means it hasn’t actually started the build and is still awaiting all the parts it needs… although it is still showing as confirmed build of bw37 (last week).
It would appear even launch edition cars are being delayed further than previously expected
I wonder if an order of “parts” failed to materialise and has caused the recent further delays? Ie something didn’t show up so everything is delayed further as a result…

Yeah it's obviously a factory level issue. As Snake pointed out above though they have put his back to June 2022 which from October this year is unacceptable with no real explanation other than the chip shortage.Yeah a bit disappointing but compared to the wait many have in front of them, I perhaps shouldn’t complain.
It’s still likely to be here sooner than anything else from Audi or another manufacturer and so there is little choice but to be wait really. It’s out of dealers hands too so not even worth my while kicking up a fuss with them either.

Speaking to my sales chap for my JCW, he said he keeps a close eye on the progress of all his client orders but warns against taking updates too seriously as some jump around a lot. If he had to call clients every time there would be panic, so tends to only contact at key points…build started, completed, awaiting shipping etc etc
So what I am trying to say is “maybe” things will settle down at these wild 7 month delays come in
following my e-mail to the Dealer yesterday morning asking him to verify the length of the delay and provide some reasoning ... I've heard ZIP back !I would suspect the dealer wouldn’t actually know more on reasons for the delay.
My dealer sent me a screen grab of current status on mine and the info on there is very limited!!
Besides contacting the factory to ask what the deal is, I’m not sure what else they could do?
That being said, for that length of delay I would want justification for it though, and you’d hope dealers would be going nuts trying to get more info as you can imagine the complaints they are now fielding!!!
Lol time to shut this section down.

Rs4....? every chance you will as it is far more of a niche Audi performance car but to me Audi have made the RS4/RS5 look more like a S-line car at the front than previous model but at least if do go down the RS4 route you'll get a proper Audi built interior ....dying breed Reason l chose a TTI wonder if all the jumping around of dates is due to chips being sold to the highest bidder and not a guaranteed supply?
I would have thought that if they had a guaranteed, but limited supply car production could be planned a little better?
If mine ends up 12 months away and I can find the 'correct RS4' i'm out of here
But it'll need renamed "Tracking our New RS3 Facelift" lolLol time to shut this section down.

Just got a text that reads.
"Your order is NOT booked in to build. We are sorry but due to the global shortage of semiconducter chips, it (may) WILL take RIDICULOUSLY longer than normal. Your Audi center will be in touch to update you further MANY TIMES OVER THE NEXT 10 MONTHS. Thank you for your "patience" .... YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT"
