This way, if the E-Tron doesn't sell in the way Audi hopes, dealers won't have bet the farm on 'em.

But it comes at a cost to the buyer. Keogh told Automotive News that after a customer places their order, the wait will be determined by global demand, which "could stretch for months or even a year or more." The entire world's supply of E-Trons will come from a single plant in Brussels, so it's not obscene to suggest that there might be quite a backlog if the E-Tron proves popular out of the gate.
