Build Date 9/20-Split Fold Down Rear Seats Yes, Wood Steering Wheel No.
My order for an E500 is scheduled to begin build on September 20!! The split fold down rear seats are, apparently going to be included but the wood steering wheels are still out of stock (unless a miracle happens in the next 4 days!).

Car is built: fold down rear seats!!!
I received word today that our E500 has been built and has a VIN number. A ship designation has not been made so we don't know the estimated arrival yet. But, the fold down rear seats are included!!!!! The wood and leather steering wheel was not, but presumably can be added as a dealer installed accessory when they resupply. If one or the other had to be left off, I am glad it was the wheel as I imagine it is impossible to retrofit the seats as it is for the steering wheel.
