If you're in the USA I would believe them. Deliveries of 2022 CLA45 have begun. I've seen a couple people post their cars already.

2022 CLA45
Picking up mine today!
Ordered mid October.
Built early February.
At VPC 10 days ago.
I must be unusual in that when I ordered, I got an estimated delivery date of late March...and here we are. Also, good dealer: no last minute "surcharges."
will post pix later.

Stop driving your cars and send more pictures, damnit!!!!! 
Either of you guys get the performance seats?
BTW, what were the concessions you had to make because of the chip shortage? My config removed the upgraded audio, foot-trunk release, and powered passenger seat

Only thing I didn't get that I ordered was wireless charging.
Did not get the performance seats (and happy with the base seats w/ the mbtex+dinamica)
Of things I questioned after my order but ended up turning out really well
- non adaptive suspension (very happy with it) - not sure what level of stiffness it compares to on the adaptive but its firm (sports car like) but smooth on good roads..but it is a sports car for sure, not a mushy sedan -- but a very fast, smooth and comfortable stiffness
- dinamica/leather wheel (love love love it, just have to keep it clean/fresh)
- drive controls on wheel (amazing)
- the expensive wheels (amazing)
- burmeister (fantastic for me .. i know some people dont love it but after the base audio in a Macan and then an Alfa, its a massive upgrade)
only thing i miss that i had in past car was parking sensors (but didn't want to pay for the whole parking package) -- but the backup cam is much better than my last two cars that it makes up for some of that.

I ordered back in Oct. so the only thing that was removed was the Pre-Safe, I got everything else . I'm glad I order early, the dealer is now adding 5k to the MSRP , .I did not get the performance seats . I have them in my other car, I wanted something different. I like the feel of the standard seats better ,they are more comfortable IMHO

Exterior is Denim Blue, will add pic when I get chance to take a decent one. They are the Advance AMG seats. I think the difference on the build option is leather over non- leather but I would have to look back. The difference between these and the standard seat is obvious in pics. People seem split between which is more comfortable. I preferred the look so went with that. Sat in a 2021 that had these in black and they felt good so picked them when I did my build.

I test drove a 45 with the other seats originally, the feeling of the bolsters and headrest on the performance seats is what I liked best. The advanced performance seats have leather and cooled seats whereas as mine just has the heated. As for comfort, my mom tagged along with my wife and I because she wanted to see some of the SUV's why I was picking mine up. During the drive home, my mother who is now 70, told my wife that the seats were really comfortable. She was seated in the front seat while my wife was in the back.
