2019 G63 stuck at port. Anybody else with recent build completion?
My G63 arrived to port in Europe for shipping 7/18/19. Still sitting there waiting to get on a boat for shipping to East Coast USA. Does anybody else have a build that was completed from Mid-July until now and is heading to USA? Please let me know if your car is sitting on a dock in Europe also or if it has been loading on a ship. Trying to figure out if hold up is isolated issue to my production time or if they have been holding builds since July at port.

Yep, that was me. System shows G is pending getting on boat. Dealer has called but not getting any enlightening answers. Would love to know if others builds are moving or not. Issue is not on dealers end.

Appreciate the update on your build and congrats on the motion. I'm still stuck in B7. Have been stuck for 6 weeks now. Getting old. Apparently there was a run of cars mid-July that has some undisclosed issue that are waiting at port for a fix. What the issue is and what the fix is remains a mystery. My dealer was told my car is supposed to get on a boat next week. Will see if that happens. Would love to know what the issue was.

Seems like the 2020 G63 have passed the VPC inspection. 2019 G550 and G63 are not moving.
I also notice the 2020 G550 allocation is almost zero so I assume there is something on G550 that needs to be addressed and they didn't find the solution.

Car is at Brunswick port and should be delivered by weekend. Finally!
There was a 6 week hold on my car at port in Europe. Guess I'll never know what they needed to fix before shipping it to USA.
