How long from production to delivery in US?

How long does it take from the production date to delivery in the US (Midwest)? My car has a production date of August 25.

Thanks

It is usually 2 weeks once the vehicle is "wholesaled".

I'm in TX, same build date as you. My sales person told me multiple times he expects me to have the car by end of August.

Will...in your case your vehicle is status B4 and is currently in production with the original anticipated production date of 8/14. Once production is complete and depending on how long it takes to get to the marshaling yard in Vance, shipping to the central and northeast ranges from 8-17 days.

So much quicker now that they are built in USA. Although motors still hand built in Germany, but shipped over in advance I assume. They last version was a painstaking wait as it was waiting for ports and the boats to slowly move them over the Atlantic.

I guess I must be confused about the whole procedure. I was under the impression that the car would start production on Aug 14. What you are saying is that they will be finished building the car on Aug 14.

Wholesaled means the car has physically left Vance and is it's way to the dealership.

I was told that there is a dealer markup on orders due to chip shortage. Several options like dash-camera, MBUX visual nav isn't available.

2021 AMG C63S Coupe
My 21 c63s coupe's production date was 8/18...as of today it's still in B4 status (produced not shipped). Hoping it hits B7 & B8 status within the next week or so. My dealer has sent me the Netstar update on every status so far from A4 to B5 (current).

Was your GLS built in US? Or Germany?
