Just to add, ordered my wife a new Volvo XC40 on February 16th this year, picking up tonight!

It makes no sense. I ordered an S3 Vorspring in early January and don't have a build week yet.
If you've no build date as yet or even if you had its a unconfirmed one which can move way on into 2023
I've had build week 47 ,49 and now week 09 of 2023 and l ordered the last week of September
What model have you ordered?
Generally speaking, it should be delivered 4-6 weeks after it's built. That does assume it is built to completion in the build week you have been given. There have been cars being built to 99% completion, then sat around waiting for parts to be fitted requiring semi conductors which have been in short supply.
Just spoken to another dealer about lead times, and they have quoted a minimum of 12 months for S & RS models.
Problem now is not semi conductors, but the fact that wiring looms for all VAG group cars are made in Ukraine!
S Line 35TFSI in Navarra Blue with C&S, ambient lighting, alloys, high beam assist
That will make it around 11 months wait for the car then if everything goes well!

It really does seem to be luck of the draw!
Perhaps i'll get the car i ordered this year, or it might slip to next year?
Kind of wish i had kept my S3 a bit longer instead of taking the stop gap car which the dealer had in stock

Just chased my lease company for an update as my build week of 34 had been removed. its now been pushed back from wk 34 to 2023 wk 01. That's 16+ months from order to build and that is not even a firmed date. Seriously thinking of cancelling. I have asked what the hold up is as if is due to parts for an optional extra then give me the option to cancel it and bring the delivery forward. Absolute disgusting service and customer care from Audi. Sadly if i switch manufacturer i am back at the end of the queue and therefore stuck if Audi.
I have a 45 TFSI e on order too, been told today its still May 2023 for my delivery but no build slot allocated.
Decided to call around and it turns out any new orders for 45 TFSI e models are specifically allocated as Q2 2023 deliveries.
I raised issues with the facelift in 2024 (assuming regular scheduling) and the dealer seems to think that will be a bit longer due to all of the delays - he cited the A1, Q3 and Q8 all not receiving proper facelift and have been around since 2018. Fair point I guess.
Lastly, I still can't add the ambient lighting pack to the car as its not available.
Options added:
S+C pack
HBA
Lumbar support
Excited to drive a 250BHP hybrid. Yet to order a car charger for home but I'll do that early next year.

Chased Audi UK again to see if changing my options would bring the build week forward. they said it makes no difference. build week now confirmed as 02 2023. I wanted to cancel my order but i don't think its a good idea as i will be at the back of the queue with BMW or Merc and will have a minimum 6-8 months wait for a new vehicle, so i just have to hang on in there. if they had told me back in September 2021 when i ordered it that it going to take 18 months, I would not of ordered it.

I ordered 45 TFSI e back in Nov 2021.
Still don't have a confirmed build date. Dealer just says should be expected Nov 22. Probably just a case of they haven't got a clue but don't want me to cancel and take my custom elsewhere.
I'm really fed up of waiting now.

I ordered late April, was quoted 12 months from then.
Sorry double post but an interesting update for everyone who has ordered a 45 TFSI e S line Competition:
There are no build slots allocated for that model for the rest of the year, all build slots will be allocated early next year for delivery Q2.
Apparently Audi are focusing on building other specs this year. I assume the hybrid tech is a factor but this wasn't mentioned to me.
If anyone receives a confirmed build slot for this model this year, definitely let me know but I trust the source.

Ordered 45 TFSI e S Line Competition as new company car last August. Checked with lease co., say they expect it this November. Will be interesting to see if that's the stock "fob off", or if it will appear. Already had my old car taken off me for excessive mileage and uneconomical to repair! Running around in a series of hire/pool cars!
That is a joke. Do you know if audi offer any compensation on parts tbey cannot fit. I hope that audi still fulfill my order with then on in C&S pack as well as the ambient lighting. It would be so annoying to wait a year for the car and not have these features.
I hope you do get it this year, I ordered April so definitely no chance this year for me. Remember to post pics when you get it, finding info on the 45tfsi e is like gold dust.
