To be honest, I don't really know anything about the MB ordering process but here's my order sheet.
I need to ask my client advisor about freezepoint date so I can ponder any adjustments before SOP.
Thanks a lot for the info guys.
I followed up with the dealership today and they were able to provide my PO number.
Fingers crossed everything stays on track for the early Dec production date.
They did say the studio package was not available currently though, so I am going with the night package 1 as well. Still pretty happy with the build overall.
@andyberger87 our builds are actually pretty similar now lol
Let us know if you decide on changing the color

I most likely will stick with Selenite since it's the perfect shade of gray - not too light not too dark like Graphite - but. I am considering switching back to Cardinal or Starling.
Quick update - confirmed via phone yesterday (9/26) that my build started production last week. I am waiting on another PDF printout just to confirm, but as of the last update a couple of weeks ago, all of these options were included (with the one credit for the hands-free access trunk). Speaking of the trunk, does anyone know if that mean it will open via button, but not auto close?
I think it’s the credit for the sensor to open it handsfree, but i think it should still close with the trunk and the button on the trunk. Also I’m glad yours started production!

Well then, I look forward to the $250 credit they claim this would have cost me then!
Haha I am too. My build date isn’t until November 😩 but I haven’t called to ask if it got moved up at all since I had one of the first allocations. I also lost my SA so idk who to talk to.

I would guess you could ask for a new SA, I am sure someone will be happy to hop on an upcoming sale. I'd also recommend someone who can communicate well
It should just be the foot wag under the diffuser that is not going to be specced
I have only used this specific feature about 5 times in the last 4 years - but still nice to have.
That is what I was hoping. I would somewhat miss a button to pop the trunk, could deal with it not auto closing as it's not an SUV... hopefully that is what it is! I will post an updated sheet once I hear from SA via email today (hopefully).

Congrats again. I have confirmed with my SA and he said the trunk is still auto but with button only. No kick motion handsfree! Still better than nothing!

BTW I have questions. What is DA4 Exterior lighting package and DA6 smartphoen integration package. Are those part of pinnacle trim? or did you have to select separatley?

Congrats!... Have you received a VIN and best guess ETA from your SA yet?
It's amazing to me we don't know MSRP yet and cars are being built..

Thanks! I sent an email request this morning for an updated printout that will help confirm that nothing fell off the build. I think I would strongly consider not keeping it if it dropped the studio package / performance seats, but it currently sounds like I was able to get them in the build. Part of my email was a request for VIN update.
The SA keeps mentioning this year, mid Nov the earliest through the end of the year. Seems like they are pretty confident that it would be before 2023.
On a side note he also mentioned that one build was actually completed that was also allocated to their dealer, but it was not ordered by anyone and it was relatively barebones / base.
black is too good. This is a production car? Has the two fin diffuser style. So still not entirely sure what will we get. Maybe studio will be 4 fin + blade and standard AMG will be two fin.

DA4 is actually called the Digital light package. They ordered it as a stand-alone. DA6 is the sound package, a part of the pinnacle trim. They’re incorrectly named due to the ongoing netstar system issues.

It’s a $100 credit.
Haha, wow. (And sorry for missing your question @SADDLEE - Benjamin is correct. I had to add the DA4 but DA6 was with Pinnacle).
What issues is netstar having? It's weird looking at the printout provided where its a mix of status changes and "Factory order confirm" and then "Factory order not confirmed" - any idea what the changes of all of these are about?

We should see first examples of the C43 arrive quite soon here - I know there is a base spec model on the boat now. While it might get held up at the port, I plan on getting some early face time with it once it arrives as I wait for my unit.
I'm on the list for and RS3 and G87 M2 so I'm currently waiting to see which one is right for me.
