How long? and how many?
How long does production take on the C63S Coupe?
How long from production complete to arrive on the west coast/LA?
I did some searching but could only find some vague posts from early production.
Just trying to test my dealer's estimate with other real life estimates. Mine is scheduled for production in the first decade of February. Thanks.
Oh one more question, does any one know how many C63S coupes will be delivered to USA?

Yeah makes sense, I'm from Toronto Canada, my C43 went into production on January 11th. My delivery date is Feb 26th. So I guess 10-15 days of production plus shipping (another 2-3 weeks) plus shipment and customs from Halifax to Toronto (1-2 weeks) ... Feb 26th is realistic give or take a week or two ...
so overall, around 8-10 weeks after production is completed!

I currently have a C43 Cabrio on route from Germany to Seattle. For reference, here are dates:
Dec. 12 - build completed
Dec. 23 - loaded onto boat
Jan. 05 - reached port at Halifax, NS
- cars destined for west coast of the US aren't unloaded in NS. they travel through the Panama Canal and are unloaded at Long Beach, CA
Jan. 27 - boat arrived Long Beach, CA - sat anchored offshore for a couple of days, then docked and unloaded at port. I've been tracking the ship for fun - it's now en route to Japan. I'll be surprised if it doesn't fully circumnavigate the globe by going through the Suez canal and back to Europe.
Am told by SA that once unloaded at port, will take 2-3 weeks to reach me (after receiving and prep in Long Beach followed by land transport up to Seattle)
I ordered this build in mid October.

My SA sent me the completed build sheet (incl. VIN) when the build completed. When the car was loaded onto the ship, he sent me the name of the ship (the Marguerite Ace, in my case) and recommended I track it at http://www.marinetraffic.com
That's all I've got. No additional info on ground transport or anything else.

Good info, my production date was Jan 10, 2017. I am thinking it should be all done by now but I haven't received an update from my SA. Should I ask for it?
That's a cool ship btw!

I can't see a downside to asking. My SA sent the completed build sheet which listed all options and contained the VIN.

I asked and he said currently on a shipping boat to Halifax, didn't give any more info. I am assuming my Feb 26th shipping date stays correct!
