Mine has been produced, I spoke to one of the owners of the dealership today and they have no idea. They have a 21 G 550 in Baltimore. I would also like to know as well.

A gaggle of MB's
If I was going to "guess" - the end of October could be "possible" if Federal approval happens this month... but even if that does happen release end-Oct like chances are about 1-out-of-4.... release at end-of-November 3-out-of-4... something entirely different happens, always a possibility..

Release of 2021

My G63 arrived off the boat on 9/22 and has been sitting at the Brunswick dock since. I was told October 5th delivery date when we placed build but that’s surely been blown out the backside. Dealers ( Mercedes Dallas ) playing dumb. The level of incompetence at MB is astounding.

That’s got to be frustrating but thanks for the info. Hopefully by early December they will be released. Mine is building in about two weeks, so I’m hoping it’s timed perfectly.

Mine has been sitting at the Brunswick as well, the ETA was OCT 5th first, now is OCT 9th. I believe it's gonna postpone until it released.

Mine is being built 3rd week October, hoping they are released before it is delivered at US port.

Does anyone know of a higher up at MBUSA who could provide some insight into this issue, of if it’s a US Govt. issue, what department/person to reach out to. I’m fine with being patient but I need information to know that the *** hats at my dealership aren’t just sitting on their thumbs and whistling nonsense to me.

the “scheduled” launch isn’t until later but it all comes down to EPA certification date. Some have been way ahead of schedule some have not. 21 GLE/GLS are over a month ahead, so much that there aren’t even hardly any to ship.

Internal projections point to early November but possibly late this month.

from their regional rep!

My dealer's inventory manager updated to me below for the Model year 2021:
"The inventory Last year the production of the MY20 was late in the Fall and it was launched at the beginning of November, but this year the cars are already arriving at the VPC. They have the launch estimated for the Fall, but no specific month. We could guess it will be sometime in October."

I believe it's two things that need to happen based on previous years - EPA certification has to occur for the new 2021 model year, and Mercedes has to announce an official release date for the 2021 G-Class. How dependent these two things are on each other I'm not sure, but until both occur your dealer can't do anything but wait and vehicles already built just sit at the VPC center.

2020s are still showing up at dealers, and as I posted in a different thread my wife saw a couple heading south on I-95 last week, and they will continue to do so for at least this month.
