Beautiful! Looking forward to the more detailed pics. Love the blue and ordered the same color.

Curious on your first impressions. How do you like them? Are they comfortable? Have you tried the massage?

They are comfortable although I haven't tried the massage yet. However, I have had these seats in other Mercedes in the past and used them periodically. Massage is especially helpful when I have a back strain which happens when you are a senior citizen 😂

Interesting read. Local dealer said would have to order to get color and features wanted. So was fine with that.
Well told me it would be 2025 with a delivery in August 2024. From what seeing in the comments here dont see
how that can be possible. They have an allocation which was going to change to my specs. I would be ok
with a 2024 with color and features want. I just dont see from comments how it could be a 2025 model

This kinda the information the dealer told me. See if can order today, should expect in August. But some other

2018 S560 and 2019 E450 Wagon.
I’ve thought about ordering a 2025 e class all terrain although have concerns over issues with the 48 volt hybrid system. I know a lot of owners of previous in-line 6s with the 48 volt battery were having battery failure leaving the car dead. I wonder if that condition was ever corrected or maybe it was a battery supplier issue? Anyone familiar with this?

I’ve got the 6 in my S500. I’ve had the car for 25 months. No issues at all with the 48 volt battery. It’s a 2022 model

Based on the timelines of others you can expect delivery roughly 2 months from the production date. If you have an order that begins production on 7/1 then end of August is possible but could also be early September. That is my expectation but it's all an estimate. It is my understanding that any order that starts production on 7/1 or later is a 2025. Before that is a 2024. I could be wrong though.

With a new car order, the only date the dealership can state with any degree of certainty is the build date. The delivery date is just a gross estimate that depends on a variety of factors. However, they typically will give a somewhat aggressive estimation of delivery timeframe of 6-8 weeks after the vehicle is assembled/built (at least that is what my dealership quoted me on my recent order of a 2025 E450). Personally, I think 8 weeks probably is close to the minimum, and a more realistic estimate on the delivery timeframe may be 8-10 weeks instead.

.
Most of my cars take between 4 and 6 weeks from the build date to delivery in Florida. The quickest was exactly 4 weeks. Three days from factory to ship. Nineteen days from Bremerhaven to Brunswick. Four days at the VPC. Two days from Brunswick to Clearwater. OTOH I've had cars stuck in Bremerhaven for over a week; on a ship with many ports of call; stuck at the VPC waiting for some part. Delivery times are a crap shoot - win some and lose some.

Thanks so much for tracking and posting this.

I am a first-time MB buyer who put in an order for a car back in Ferbruary, and this is the most complete posting of what I can expect.

Much appreciated!

Fewer Shipments?

I checked the shipping company’s schedule (Bremerhaven Germany to Brunswick GA VPC). It shows 9 shipments in June, 11 in July, but only 2 for August and September. If it holds true then those with August build dates may have fewer opportunities to receive their vehicles, including myself.

Congrats! I have a question for you...

Looking at pics of some new E450s and the redline appears to be ~5,800 RPM. Is it a variable redline that changes as the car warms up? Just wondering because it is ~6,200 on the W213 E450, and the M256 engine seems to be largely a carryover. But maybe not...
