I sent a reply back to my dealer for clarification/confirmation. I grabbed their first allocation, so he knows I’m looking for news about the S. Unless he misunderstood the notice himself, I trust this means all c63 models.
This notice came out of the US south regional directors office, so it might me good to get a 2nd source of confirmation from another south region dealership.

No worries; good possible catch. I sure don’t want to be a source of “fake news.” 🙄

Could you share when when your car was built, and when you ordered it?
I ordered a C63S coupe the first day allocations opened up back in late June, and production occurred on October 30.

Ah man, I should've just placed an order back in June when the build slots opened up. I was told it's about a 4 month wait time so I decided to place an order last month, October, in hopes to have it arrive around Feb (3 month early termination of my current lease). There was never any mention by any dealer regarding waiting for some sort of allocation to simply begin the process. There is someone in front of me which now makes me question how long I could possibly be waiting for an allocation...
I'll call after Thanksgiving weekend and see what's up.

Wow you have an early car. I thought mine was early- mine arrives to the US on Thanksgiving.

I ordered my coupe in early August, actually. Built Nov 1 and put on a boat due to arrive on the 21st at Brunswick (on the vessel "Brooklands"), but I'm sorta doubting that based on the AIS (of course I've been tracking it). I figure 2-3 weeks after arrival in US to get it to my dealer in Dallas. Hoping for a mid-Dec pick up.

Not exactly sure what your question is ... did you mean to post a pic so we could identify the color for you?

Ask your dealer to email you the Dealer Ordering Guide for 2019 C-Class (I believe page 33 of 66 is the beginning of the AMG models). There you will find pictures of colors, color names, and their numerical codes. Mine is a black sedan, and that is 040 off the top of my head.

Ready
My dealer just called to tell me that my 2019 C63s Coupe is now at the dealership and ready for me to pick up. I’m away for the holiday and won’t be able to get there until Tuesday.

Congrats, though that's going to be a long 4-5 days! That was a quick delivery from port to dealer; I hope mine's as fast ...

Wow, congrats! Coupe or convertible? If you care to share, I am curious to know which port and what approximate dealer location?

The boat with my coupe to Baltimore port was scheduled to arrive today, but it’s been pushed to 26th. Wonder if the vehicle will arrive on Long Island as quickly as yours arrived.

For those who have had their cars built and delivered (from Germany), how long did it take from the day the car was built to the day it arrived in port? Mine will be arriving in Baltimore if that helps.

There’s wide variety in the time to cross - depends on the manifest, number/order of destinations, weather, time of year, etc. 10-12 days seems about minimum, but can easily go over two weeks. Mine looks it’ll be almost 3 weeks if my guesses are correct. :-(

This analysis might make you feel a bit better...
I’ve more than once seen defects in the fiber weaves both in the carbon fiber trim pieces and in the fiberglass trim pieces. The trim pieces on the C-class are quite large, so any imperfection will stick out like a sore thumb and might drive you mad. The black ash might be a blessing in disguise.
The imperfections in the fiber weaves on Mercedes trim pieces are real. Porsche and Ferrari execute this perfectly in the cars. Mercedes is still a bit behind.

On the E63S, the trim has a much bigger impact on the tone of the interior just due to how much surface area it covers... CF for sure on that one.
Pics below. Needless to say, went with the incoming 2019 black ash car. Arrives second week of January!!
