No, the G is being build per allocation regardless of Color Choice.

Electric, Black, White are the Highest Volume Builds.

Both Trucks cannot have paint changed, and are probably sold, however reach out and see.

Thanks for the update, the Electric Beam is mine and good to hear its in production.

That is the last step before getting loaded on a boat.

Realistically, your Truck should be in Michigan sometime next month.
Thanks for the update. Can't wait to see and drive this beast!

Is it possible to give a breakdown of all colors? I know you said Electric Beam was most popular. Just wondering what the full breakdown was like.

Thanks again!

There are 36 Colors on offer in total, so I will compile a complete breakdown at some point, just want to wait until it has officially ended production.

FYI, your Truck still hasn't been assigned a boat, however it is at the Port awaiting assignment. I imagine that will happen this week?

I know the dealerships have no control of when it comes... but it will be worth the wait!

Have any of the ones at VPC been released yet? Would be happy if mine comes in right after they get released so I have less of a delay. Haha

Nope still waiting...

Hoping for end of Jan, however not sure if that will happen or not.

I will definitely be posting here as soon as I find out, don't worry!

Nope, not sure what pics they have. If it is the Electric Beam, than that is an MBUSA Demo that toured the country last year.

As of now, there are only 8 G550 4X4's at the VPC (Vehicle Processing Center), and have NOT been released, with no information on a Release Date.

Wow, this is so strange.

That is definitely their truck, however it was the only one shipped from the VPC to a dealer.

It hasn't even been wholesaled yet, never seen that before.

They can't sell it until it has been wholesaled, not sure what is going on there?

Mine is on the Salome! Supposed to be landing at VPC next week. Very excited that some cars seem to be releasing now.

Won't tell you exact figures...however it is under 300.

It could be anywhere from 1-299

That will make it somewhat difficult to list the color breakdown, unless percentages are used instead of counts.

I have a complete update of Colors/Production, will post once everything gets updated.

I have a feeling a lot of the 040 Black will change to more unique colors closer to build date...

NYC Benz, will MBUSA be making the Hutchinson bead lock wheels available through the parts dept? Odd that a US made wheel would be a factory option in Europe but not in the US.
