Anyone receiving a G580 next month?
I'm expecting mine next month now, just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat - both physically and literally.

They should, especially with such a near future expected date. If they will not tell them to ask their manager since they may be lazy or not know how.

They don't know what boat it's being loaded on to yet - just figured someone here might know from their order - supposedly there is only one or two that's going out in the next 2 weeks.

I think we are all screwed until the strike is over. I have a 550 that is at port waiting on a ship. My dealer said the 580 specifically is probably going to be delayed because the vehicles that are due to arrive at port, will just sit there. Dealers have also not received their "programs" yet. These are the models expected to be part of the usual fall sales events. Mercedes is certainly monitoring the strike. If the strike goes on for several weeks, it will effect on hand inventory and thus raise prices. It may also push back manufacturing dates if the factory shifts the manufacture of US bound vehicles due to the strike.

The IAL strike is going to be tough for consumers in general. For those of us on the West Coast, we've already gone through it in 2022 and 2023 in Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach. If I recall, studies show that for every 1 day that a port is closed, it takes 5 days after it begins operational to catch up on its backlog - at least that is/was the case on the West Coast.
Dealers actually don't mind these strikes/walkouts as they will end up making more money due to pent-up demand. When the cars at the docks are released and eventually arrive at the dealerships, buyers are so frustrated from the long wait they don't think twice about paying the increase in fees the dealers have tagged on. Dealers will often attribute the additional ADM ("additional" means above the agreed upon ADM) to "shipping" fees, claiming that the port situation increased their cost. Note that this is NOT true so don't fall for it. MB actually bears the cost of shipping, and dealers are responsible only for delivery costs from the dock to the dealerships.
Lastly, when the backlog and supply chain issues happened on the West Coast in 2022 and 2023, that was also when we saw dealerships on the West coast begin asking for well north $50k in ADMs for G63's that have yet to be locked in.
Just some things to be aware of for those of you waiting for delivery of your G Wagons.

Mine is on the water, supposed to arrive at the US port October 10. I think I can track with the Vin# but that won't ease the anticipation. At this point nothing I can do other than keep my fingers crossed about the strike. Selfishly, I want it to end ASAP. In reality though, I can wait if it will improve the lives of several thousand hard working people... I guess
