Impact from Ukraine catastrophe?

Does anyone here know what the impact, if any, will be from the horrible Ukraine/Russia war? Will our EQS's be stuck in the German port for longer periods than already exist? Thanks in advance.

My dealer notified me yesterday that my EQS AMG has left Germany on the vessel Boheme, scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on the 13th of March. At this stage of the war it didn’t impact ships leaving the end of February.

@jhpiipe, when did you order a AMG EQS? I thought they were not to be available until next year.

The title could be changed a bit to better reflect the opening message as the intention seems to be to figure out how the Russian attack to Ukraine affects Mercedes deliveries (to the US?). I'm sure we do not want to give the impression that this is the only thing that we care, not giving any sympathy to the people suffering from the attack to an independent country and causing huge suffering for civilians.

I'm not aware of parts for an EQS coming from Ukraine and transport from the West to the West is not affected by any means, excluding perhaps something like an Estonian ship sinking near Ukraine (Black Sea).

Mercedes has stopped export to Russia which would give parts in shortage for other countries although no significant effect.

I actually did not order the AMG, I had ordered they 580 last April 22nd, however my dealer reached out on February 10 and informed me that a first edition AMG had surprisingly been allocated to them. Since I have been on the waiting list for the 580 the longest my dealer offered me the AMG which I of course accepted as it was built and ready to ship.

jhpipe, That looks like a great package you got. Out of curiosity did the dealer charge you any mark-up like most want for the 580?

Trust me. Each and every day I feel agonized about what's happening to the people of Ukraine. Yes, the impact (if any) on car deliveries is NOTHING compared to the incredible suffering taking place there due to a ruthless dictator. I know quite a bit about ruthless dictators since I spent the first 10 years of my life under one in communist Albania. I wanted to avoid anything that would be misconstrued as political when I posted the title. I could have done a better job. By using the word catastrophe I thought it would send the correct message. Can the title be changed now?

Your original message was fine. I just "complained" about the title.

Later on learned that there are quite a few MB parts suppliers in Ukraine. Yet another reason to wish a quick end of that tragedy.
