MB Manufacturing Still Shut Down in Europe?
Just wondering if MB factories in Europe are still shut down? Has anyone with a vehicle on order heard anything about current status?

So I placed my order 2 weeks before shutdown and was looking forward to my car, early May I was told.
Sorted out returning my current car and getting hire car and then the lockdown and all change
Sadly not had any update from Mercedes so thanks gravnov for an update

The horses are now in the barn, 2019 E63s
I just heard from my dealer regarding my 2020 E63 order and he said there will not be any more E63's built for the 2020 MY, to include mine which he said was due to decline in demand. I posed some questions for which I knew he would not have the answers so that he might ask around for greater clarification (which was absent in his phone call to me; not killing the messenger here).
1. Will no other 2020 E Class models be produced this year or just the ones going forward from today's resumption of production?
2. If any E63's are getting built, are there any that have been declined by other dealers that could be generally available?
I knew that once production resumed the emphasis would be on 2021 MY cars but thought there would be special orders/allocations that would no longer be desire by the individual and dealer but that with 2020 parts on hand that a few might get produced but from what I understand there will be no more 2020 E Class this year.
With that said, if anyone has a 2020 E63S, Cardinal red with the AMG Drive Unit, I'm interested.
