EQS allocation method
Does anyone have any information on how MB does its allocations?
How is the number of vehicles per dealership decided, is it based on previous total sales, previous S class sales ?
If it is based on previous sales, is there a list of top selling dealerships?
Are allocation periods also assigned (i,e, if a dealer is allocated two vehicles, I will have to order those vehicles during the weeks it was assigned)?

There is definitely a region based component. San Francisco Bay Area seems to be on the bottom of the region based list (which is interesting, since CA usually gets EVs first).

Middle America will get very few.
Out side of the coasts the allocation will be based on what level of EQ dealer you are.
In other words, how much the dealer spent on charging infrastructure, training and MBUSA related EQ materials.
Having said that, don't expect a lot of allocation per dealer wherever you are.
Most dealers have more orders than they are going to be able to place for the next year.
