Is anyone else getting frustrated with the lack of updates?

2024 AMG EQE SUV , 2021 E63S Wagon - gone, 2018 E63S Sedan - gone
At this point, MY16 starts production the 1st week of August which means that a MY15 C63S immediately is less valuable. If you can get the ED1 built, then that is a different equation. Otherwise, I would have a MY16 production C63S built and have the dealership sell it to you at a very steep discount due to the inconvenience that you've already experienced.

I called Steven today, and he still helped me out even though it was his day off.... How'd he help me out? By giving me amazing news! The blockage on my car is gone. It was taken off yesterday or today meaning the car might have been shipped yesterday, could be shipped today, or any day now!

Still surprised you can't track US built cars properly. I ordered a GLA45 in early May (3rd decade May build), and my dealer was able to keep me up to date on progress. The shipping tracking is pretty awesome, last week I could see where the boat was in the ocean. Today, I can see live where the train is on the way to Calgary.
Really hope you get your car before mine.

Yours will probably arrive before my ED1 arrives since it might not have been shipped yet. Btw you'll love the GLA 45. That 2.0L engine is simply amazing!

Nice! I knew about tracking the vessel through WHS, and marinetraffic but never knew that the dealership could track the vessel and the train also.

I found this post on Ford F150 forum and it works lol. All you need to know is the rail car number etc.
"I have found a company called CSX that allows a person to track a rail car number if you have one. I have only tried this for a CN rail car (as I live in Canada). Their phone number is 1-800-235-2352 . When you call and the automated voice answers, say location. it will then ask you for the rail car's initials which will be "TTGX" or something like that. It will then ask you for the rail car number and that is when you speak the numeric digits. The next step is to say done and it will tell you where the rail car is or was today. "

The cars currently in Georgetown Kentucky... So it made some good progress over the past 3 days. (If it wasn't stuck in Atlanta for a day then it'd probably be in Detroit by now )

Kuba.95 your crazy waiting this long when your going to upgrade in 36-48 months.
Look at the lemon CLA-45 you had and MB still can't go that extra mile helping.
My local dealer two weeks ago had a black edition 1 for $78k but forgot to post the details before getting sold.

In my opinion they did go the extra mile by helping me out with the trade in. They could have just said "screw you keep getting the car fixed", but instead they offered me a trade in deal where I'm barely losing any money. As for when it came all of the issues with my Edition 1 order. In my opinion Steven went the extra mile. He picked up my calls, and helped me out even on his days off, and he truly did his best to make things better. It's not really MB Canadas fault that the factory messed up big time although in my opinion MB Canada could have done a better job communicating what's going on etc. So all in all. I'm satisfied, and hopefully I'll love the car for the next 36-48 moths lol.

It will sit in winnepeg for at least a day. You are about 5 days from it being in Edmonton. Then at least 36-48 hours before they unload. Then PDI. My guess is July 10th
