Is anyone else getting frustrated with the lack of updates?

Received some info today from the manager of my dealership, and this info sounds believable. So basically. The factory messed up the badging on the car which has put 26 cars on hold. They don't know how long it'll take to fix the issues. The ones which actually got through and arrived at dealerships will need to be fixed.

So the other guy which has an Edition 1 on order at the same dealership as I do received a delivery date today. Sadly I wasn't able to get in contact with my sales manager so hopefully I'll have some news Monday.

Canadians why didn't we E1 have the parking package which is supposed to include surround 360 camera/view as per the MB website build of C63S?? Was this another left out? Try clicking on Premium Package(buy) and you will see $0 for the Parking Package(Incld in price)

The 360 camera is for the 2016 models. Heard that it might even be delayed to 2017 models now.

Anyway just wondering any other Canadian with the E1 with Premium have this parking package of 360 camera? Just wanted to make sure they did not mess up/ forget that just like the decals.

No, if you look on that page it still says 2015. When you select Premium package, the Parking Package shows up as included??

Also no one will have the 360 camera on the 2015 model. It'll be on 2016 models, but I even heard that they might even possibly delay it to 2017 models now.

Finally have some more info thanks to Steven Kastner which is the "Product Liaison Manager" for AMG in Toronto. So the car still isn't built yet due to some issue. (Parts?, and yes I'm happy since I at least know the reason now on why it hasn't been shipped.). Steven will be pressuring the factory to hurry it up a bit (I'm guessing to get more info on when it'll be finished etc), and he's hoping to have good news early next week, if he doesn't have good news then at least more info on when I could expect the car etc. So currently I'm satisfied again since I've received more info on the car and I at least know what's going on etc. Hopefully I'll receive good news next week! Can't thank the guy from MB Canada enough on helping me out, and doing his best to make things better etc.

Also, start of production for MY2016 is in 2.5 weeks. At this stage I would look into the changes for 2016 and update your spec.
The guy can't pressure the factory to hurry up btw, just feeding you BS.

Have they given you the VIN yet? They should've known from day 1 that the car hasn't been built yet, and not dragged you along for so long. So your car isn't even in Halifax yet, that's crazy.

Also the car will never be in halifax XD. It's built in the U.S so the car will either go to Calgary and then be delivered here by truck, or arrive at the rail yard here in Edmonton.
I'd consider that but if that were to happen I'd probably be waiting until September since I'm guessing that's when the 2016's will be released. Plus the current car I have on order is a Edition 1 which is more unique than a normal C63S which is another reason I'd rather stick with it.
As for the pressure stuff. I highly doubt he was feeding me bs. He probably meant that he'll be pressuring them into figuring out when they'll fix the issues and giving that info to him. Either way. I trust this guy already cause he's helped me and given me more info than anyone has for the past month.

Ahh forgot that it's US built. You can ignore everything I've said, I have no clue how the US factory/build processes work.
Steven is good stuff, he'll take good care of ya. Still think it's messed up with the build info, someone down the line messed up bad. Dealers can see exactly what stage your build is at, and can find out where the car is in transit as well.
I double checked my dates, MY2016 start of production is August 1st, so they have 6 weeks to build your E1 before it's too late. Unless they spill over E1's to MY2016, which I highly doubt.

Ya Stevens amazing. If anyone can solve all of this then it's him haha. Also It's not really. The car was technically built. I'm just guessing that it was missing some important parts or something like that due to supply issues etc. Although I do think that MB Canada could have just told me that when I started asking them questions 3-4 weeks ago instead of saying it's due to the spoiler or not saying anything etc. Oh well. Things should be good now haha. I hope.
Ya I can't see them doing that since the Edition 1 was meant for only 2015 models.

Well the dealership just called, and they've been in talks with Steven. They offered me a discounted price for the AMG driving Academy thing next month, so I'd only be paying $1350. Sadly I won't be able to go for it cause I'm doing stuff that date so I'll see if I can get something else instead lol.

Well they didn't **** up, but the factory did. Also ya but at least I'm getting a slight discount which is better than nothing haha. Even without the discount I would have loved to go for the driving academy because it would have been a incredible experience, and would teach me a lot.
So the two dealerships here in Edmonton have C63's in stock. The one I ordered my Edition 1 from has a normal C63. The other dealership has a C63S. Hope to test drive one of them tomorrow!
If I end up test driven both of them then I'll be able to hear the differences between the non performance exhaust, and the performance exhaust since the C63 here comes without the performance exhaust and the C63S has it as a standard. (Might include a video also)
