Some issues i'm having:
MMI & App setup
Probably the most complicated setup experience I've ever had, going back and forth between the myAudi app and the MMI with no clear guidance from either as to what the correct setup sequence is. I'm still not sure I've got everything working 'properly', it would be helpful for audi/someone smarter than me to put together a documented process.
The MMI says it doesn't need an update but I'm putting the version here to check with you guys:

Connectivity
I connected the car to wi-fi but unclear if it's using it or LTE, both icons are present. I've tried to follow the steps in the MMI to register for mobile data, seems to take me to this third party site:
Automotive Portal. However the site doesn't recognise my VIN number so unable to proceed any further with the setup.
My last car just had a sim-card port in the armrest, anyone know if this car has something similar?
Sound
I have the "premium" sound system and to be honest i'm a bit underwhelmed. The sound quality varies dramatically depending on the source, I think the worst is DAB radio, seems like the software is applying some EQ to the signal and completely kills the bass. Even FM radio sounds better than DAB. I've checked the settings and the "quality" is set to high, not sure what else to try..
At the moment I have the bass and subass eq set to max and it's acceptable at normal listening volume. If i put the levels back to medium it's like listening to something on a phone. I also turned off the headrest surround speakers as they only seem to be tweeters with a very high pass filter on them.
Systems Issues
The only persistent issue I'm having is that the car seems to be stuck "Initialising active front assist", see picture. This warning has been in place since initial setup, unclear what it's supposed to be doing or how to fix it.

Doors
The doors seem really reluctant to close fully. They feel really heavy, but they don't close under their own weight, they need to be almost slammed shut. I've had to reclose the doors every time i've used the car but maybe I just need to get used to using a lot of force. Haven't quite figured out the keyless entry routine yet (with key in pocket), only working for me some of the time but maybe i'm doing something wrong.
Other Observations
The steering column not being electrically adjustable and synced with the seat memory sucks.
The ride is not very pleasant without the air suspension, would absolutely recommend going for that option. Not sure if audi's have the convenience entry/exit like RR's where it auto lowers the car to get in/out, that was such a nice touch.
Minor one but the luggage compartment cover is flimsy, just feels a bit cheap.
I dropped the brightness of the HUD to minimum, could go lower to be honest, I found it very bright and overly distracting at the default setting.
