Ridiculous Delivery Delays for 2017 A3 e-tron
 

Hi Everyone,

I ordered a 2017 A3 e-tron at the end of August 2016 with a planned delivery at the end of November 2016. We are now January 5th 2017, and my Audi dealer in Montreal says delivery is planned for January but still cannot give me a date!

Should I give up on this car? Anyone else in this situation???

I order mine June 6th. Ask your dealer for the logistics information from the ordering system. My order.....Dealer allocation became available mid October. Order locked to changes mid November, built Jan 2,2017. Still in Germany and hoping for it to be on the next ship to Canada. From www.pwl.de and selecting Volkswagen Logistics the next ship coming to Halifax is departing Feb 1 for Feb 10 arrival. Other folks told me 2-3 weeks once in Halifax. Go to this website https://www.2wglobal.com/webapps?frameId=148564408305194867&url=https%3A%2F %2Fatt.2wglobal.com%2Fgstattweb%2Focean.do%3Fmetho d%3DgetDefaultOceanQuickSearchPage and in Cargo ID enter the last 7 digits of your VIN. This will confirm if it's on the ship. It will only show a day or two before it's on the ship...

Thank you for the info Bdguard. I finally took delivery of my car last Friday January 27th almost 5 months after the order. So far I am very happy with the car. I love the car specially in electric mode.

Taking delivery of my e-Tron on Friday. Anyone knows a decent electrician to install the charging station? One quote so far is $2100.

I'm in Oakville, On
Thanks

Congrats to all of you getting a great car! I know the winter AER isn't as good as is can be, and you'll notice this when the temps warm up.
The 2017's are great with the subtle but improved changes.
I would suggest getting a 240v plug installed instead of going all out with a charging station unit. The Audi unit comes with both plug types so it'll save you money.
