I've had a deposit down on a new Audi Q4 eTron since last October but just canceled it due to excessive GA delays in US. There is still no firm US release date for the Q4. I reevaluated my EV needs and decided to keep my Subaru Forester for longer trips and go for a MINI SE for a daily driver since they have been in production for several years.
I thought it might be useful for others to see the current order/build timeline for a 2023 MINI SE. 'll keep updating this post until I take delivery.
01/04/2022 - $250 deposit placed with MINI.
02/08/2022 - Order received
04/12/2022 - In production queue
04/28/2022 - Exterior body construction has begun
04/29/2022 - In paint booth
04/30/2022 - Awaiting carrier assignment
05/07/2022 - Dispatched from Factory
05/09/2022 - At Port
Since the VIN was made available, I ran an insurance estimate and got a quote for $530/6 mo (20 Subaru is $380/6 mo) so it's a little more expensive to insure but not outrageous. If and when Audi gets their act together, I might reconsider the Q4 but it could be a while.
Happy motoring!
