That's consistent with my experience. Also an S3 Vorsprung. Ordered early Jan 22, picked up almost exactly 11 months later.My S3 Vorsprung was ordered in May 22, and started build this week. So seems like it's dependant on the model, hopefully they get moving shortly. I've been told Early March for delivery which ties in with it starting build this week....
I hope...
There does seem to be quite a bit of new stock about but I wonder if it’s people cancelling orders and the dealer taking it anyway?I’m probably going to walk away from this and find something else to buy. I did a little digging and found dealers in my area which post the door placard with build date for everything in their inventory. There are a BUNCH of A3s and S3s on the ground with November build dates, some equipped similarly to my alleged October build. It’s silly that Audi can’t be straight with customers about status. I’d be more likely to try again if they weren’t leaving us to tread water endlessly. But they are so I probably won’t.
US dealers put everything that comes in on their website. These could all be sold customer vehicles for all I know.There does seem to be quite a bit of new stock about but I wonder if it’s people cancelling orders and the dealer taking it anyway?
i cancelled one of my order 1 month before arrival, they putted it on listing once it was produced (not delivered)US dealers put everything that comes in on their website. These could all be sold customer vehicles for all I know.
Yup. Mine has been listed with a stock photo and a VIN since late September. Canceled cars just go on the lot and get sold. Dealer makes money either way.i cancelled one of my order 1 month before arrival, they putted it on listing once it was produced (not delivered)
Scratch that moved back to mid June delivery seriously thinking of cancelling and getting something else now that’s 18 months and still no confirmed date don’t know Audi are getting away with it everyone else besides them and vw are getting shorter these are getting longer bmw 25 weeks Audi 2 yearsI ordered January last year
I ordered January last year now got a unconfirmed build week of 9 so around same time as you so hopefully that’s a good sign but like ya say won’t be holding my breath either
I was in discussion with my local BMW dealer last year after I'd put an order in for the Audi, when there were rumblings of hefty lead times for the TFSIe S Line Competition.I wandered into BMW this week and the sales guy was all concerned about managing expectations. If I ordered the car we talked about I wouldn’t have it until March or April. (Of this year )
Seems like most of VW group is the same, my wife ordered an Up and it’s been four months so far but build week theoretically this week.I wandered into BMW this week and the sales guy was all concerned about managing expectations.

Checked with my company's fleet provider this morning that I'm still on for a March delivery. Told that has now moved to an unconfirmed build of week 9 and delivery May/June (ordered August '21). Starting to think Audi know there is a fundamental issue with the 45TFSIe Competition, and that they will eventually cancel the orders as they are unable supply the cars. Hope I'm wrong, but the longer this drags on, the more it seems we'll never see this model. Can't even cancel as company fleet director has put a hold on all new car orders.

I spoke to BMW about a 330e, I could have it in 2 weeks....Scratch that moved back to mid June delivery seriously thinking of cancelling and getting something else now that’s 18 months and still no confirmed date don’t know Audi are getting away with it everyone else besides them and vw are getting shorter these are getting longer bmw 25 weeks Audi 2 years
I have order A3 45TFSI S-line Competition with a number of options. To my knowledge the only option Audi have removed from my order is the ambient lighting pack. Think all my other options will come. From other posts I got the impression that the Competition has the longest delays in the A3 range.Can I ask what models are causing these crazy 18 month delays? Ordered a new A3 S-line (C&S and high beam assist and a few other bits) at start of January to replace my 2019 A3 8V S-line. Order confirmed received by Audi, no build date yet but dealer was saying probably 16-18 weeks for delivery or is this being overly optimistic? TIA
If this is UK a dealer and I’m also going for the same engine/gearbox I’ll not get my hopes up for the delivery time my dealer has quote me.Been told by my dealer 37weeks if I order in the next few days. Looking at a 35 tfsi DSG sport back SLine

What have you been quoted ?If this is UK a dealer and I’m also going for the same engine/gearbox I’ll not get my hopes up for the delivery time my dealer has quote me.
Yea same as me, just waiting for it to arrive in the UK. Hopefully be able to collect first week of MarchSpoke to the dealership yesterday and apparently my S3 Vorsprung has been released from the port and is now on the boat and should be here in a couple of weeks!!
Too true, cant wait to get back into an S3!!Yea same as me, just waiting for it to arrive in the UK. Hopefully be able to collect first week of March
I just feel the dealer will say oh it’s only 6 or 8 months wait and then it will just keep getting pushed back like most on here say, and the dealer just wants me to put my deposit down so they get a sale knowing that it will be a long waitMy Vorsprung was ordered on4/2/22 so should be just over 13 month wait when i get it, although i'm sure i've seen posts on here where people have ordered an S3 with just a couple of option extras and the wait was a lot less.
Yeah maybe, we were originally told build week 39 last year with late October collection, it all seems to be a bit of a lottery!I just feel the dealer will say oh it’s only 6 or 8 months wait and then it will just keep getting pushed back like most on here say, and the dealer just wants me to put my deposit down so they get a sale knowing that it will be a long wait
