At least it's on the way now.

I have been looking at when vehicles arrive after they are built and I believe they are shipped in batches. Example would be a vehicle is built for a USA dealer but will not ship until many are built (perhaps 500) and then put on a ship or rail to North America. I have a 2023 GLB that was built the first week in Nov. but still at the dispatch lot. I believe many other units for USA need to be built (at this plant) before the shipping allocation quantity is reached before moving on.
