I'm about to put my build in. Do all 21 models come with then DYNAMIC SELECT control knobs on the steering wheel? I been watching some YouTube videos and some has it and some don't. What do I need to add to get the DYNAMIC SELECT knobs on the steering wheel?

Dynamic select control knobs are standard in US builds but are deleted if you select heated steering wheel.

Also got my update today from my sales person, to help others with rough estimates of dates:
10/28/2020 - Vehicle produced
11/2/2020 - Factory invoiced
11/3/2020 - At port
11/17/2020 - Ship assigned
11/18/2020 - Ship date
11/21/2020 - Ship telex
12/2/2020 - ETA at Brunswick

Concerning the "PFD SET", mine has it dated 11/20/2020 same as the one above which is already at the VPC, so seems like that has to do with the official model release which was on 11/20/2020 and not a step done at a specific time. Imagine everybody's builds will have it dated 11/20/2020.

At any rate, hoping for mid-December delivery.

Makes sense. At first I thought it was specific to mine.

Mine is still sitting in Baltimore, has been, no update about shipping. My dealership said there’s no order other than they need to have a loaded truck headed in the direction of the dealership.

Mine was released to carrier today. I guess the next step is for an actual truck to pick it up and bring it to Dallas.

Doesn’t seem very organized, I’m not in a hurry, but would like to have it, they want it by the end of the month.

Not at all. I am thinking they are shipping in clusters in the sense that there will be many g63s on the truck all heading to Dallas together

They say they’re on a direct shipping route, but can’t tell me when it’s going to be delivered. Shipping is a cluster xxxx. Mine has been sitting in Baltimore for a month.

I agree that this whole thing is a mess. Mine has been at Brunswick since 10/19 via Apollon Highway

My dealer called me today and told me that my G63 will be arriving at the dealership by the end of next week. We'll finish up all the financial stuff next week and I expect to receive my new truck sometime during the week of December 7th. Very excited!!

Hey mods - Can this thread be merged with the "2021 Release Date" thread? I am not sure why this duplicate thread was started.

You'll love it, can't go wrong with this spec. Thank you very much, 12 months waiting. Glad I saw the Break In Period, didn't know these cars needed it. Looks like Automatic Mode + Comfort for the next 900 miles.

I don't think so. I ordered one about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it seemed in line with the 2020 prices.

Trying to track the Cepheus Leader and it's a bit frustrating. Even satellite AIS tracking doesn't say where it is and it's not listed under "expected arrivals" through 12/12/20 at Brunswick, despite the original ETA being yesterday.

Dealer told me it was expected at the VPC today but I guess we will see.

Edit:
Found the official Georgia port website and has it listed as expected on 12/6 so a few days delayed.

Good news for those waiting on G550s--they are hitting lots now. This was the one I previously ordered before changing to a G63. Fortunately the dealer was able to find a buyer who is picking it up tomorrow. Also shows the new for 2021 night package rims. MSRP was around $151k.
