My order is a 2025 MY and it shipped out on 7/29. It's due to arrive on 8/12 in GA so it would seem the 2025 MYs are already arriving since the ship stopped in Halifax and NY already.

That is correct! Not very long and your wait will be over.

Exciting news! Def let us know how long it takes before you receive the vehicle at dealer from when vessel arrived at port.

That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You certainly got lucky from a timing perspective. I ordered in March for a July 1st build date. Then it sat at port for three weeks waiting for MB to officially release the 2025 MY. You are likely to be the first on this board to get their 2025 E. Hopefully I'm not long behind you.

Latest update on my ship is that it's sitting just off the coast at the Brunswick port with no update in the last 9 hours. It was supposed to arrive at 7am GMT (8 hours ago). I see three other vehicle carrier ships in the port and I suspect my ship is waiting for one of them to leave so it can pull in but that's just a guess. I have no idea how many places there is to dock for vehicle ships or which one is the commonly used for MB VPC. The schedule site Wallenius Wilhelmsen still says the voyage is expected to arrive on 8/14 while the vessel site for Morning Linda says 8/12.

That’s not too bad. You can still see what’s happening and can feel reasonably assured that you will have your car within the next 2 - 3 weeks. Hopefully there aren’t any VPC holds on 2025 MY E450s we don’t know about. I say that because there are about 270 MY 2024 E-450s on dealer lots in the USA. On the other hand, it may help to get the more expensive MY 2025 on lot because the higher price may incentivize buyers to go with the 2024.

Similar thing happened to me. My car was coming from East London, SA to Bremerhaven first. It was set to arrive on 7/26. It sat off the coast at an anchor point for about 3 days until it was eventually taken to port. Bc of this, I missed the first ship from Bremerhaven to Halifax that would have brought my car here Aug3/4th.

Thankfully was able to make that second ship, which has now been delayed a day with arrival of 8/14 I hope!

Fingers crossed that your wait isnt long!

Well one good thing with what will more than likely be a long wait for me is that by the time I get my car mb probably will have resolved the blank center screen issue plaguing the 2024 cars.

That’s possible because the next 2 ships both depart 8/23. Have you received a VIN? I’m anticipating one by 8/16 since my vehicle is projected to be completed 8/17. Waiting to get update from dealer rep per our last email exchange on 7/29.

Haven’t heard a peep from my dealer. I’ll let you know when I do, but he hasn’t been very responsive.

Well, my ship just docked a couple hours ago in Brunswick. Just a train and truck ride away once it's done at the VPC.

Great news! Def keep us updated on ETA to dealer if you dont mind.

Mine is scheduled to dock today at 3pm EST in Halifax.

I believe if you guys check the original ( https://www.walleniuswilhelmsen.com/track-trace ) website, you should be able to search like we did initially and under the port of arrival look for the events. Just as initially there were evets of "loaded on to vessel," there likely should be an indication as to when the vehicle is loaded off the vessel I would assume.

That’s a reasonable time, especially since some options are completed by the VPC (rear spoiler, locking wheel bolts).

How far is Springfield from Baltimore? Yes, that is very quick time.

Complete Financing While Car In Transit

Did anyone complete your financing before your car arrived at the dealership? I ask because my dealership is offering discounts to meet August sales quotas. They emailed me. If there’s a VIN and a PO from the dealership perhaps it’s possible to buy the car while it’s en route.
