Fuel tank size
Previously it was reported (and the DOG lists) the fuel tank capacity at 22.5 gallons, but my order sheet shows a 93 liter fuel tank (#915) which is 24.57 gallons. 22.5 must not include the reserve.

Well put. I couldn't even tell you when I last used cruise control in my car. Just getting used to driving an automatic every day will be an adjustment for me as it is.

Offroad video segment
This is three months old, but there is an offroad demonstration segment filmed at the Alabama factory in this German video.

joe, for 96k you might consider waiting for the 53. if you are willing to wait for that, you might want to wait for the gls! and so on and so on.

I placed my order today, pending the final DOG and any changes that may yet occur from M.B.
Here is a copy of my updated spreadsheet (thanks to Greg for providing the Excel doc):

W167 GLE order
Joe, Congrats - now the waiting! I made a few updates to the sheet later (see post #986). I could be wrong, but I believe the 20" AMG wheels are included in the DG1 AMG Line Exterior Package, and only the 21s are an upgrade. That's the way it is on the German configurator.

Order options
Backing out VAT, German prices are 900 euros for the AMG 21s & 1900 for the 22s (which we don't get on the 450).
One thing my dealer mentioned, the $8,100 E-ABC may be one of those options that is delayed at launch since so few of them will be ordered. He ask if I wanted to go with an Airmatic system instead if it's delay, I said yes.

I’ll drink to that��
I thought the AMG 20’s were free also but logically looking at the package cost they probably aren’t. Your dealer add makes sense.
The E-ABC probably not going to be delayed. If it was one would think that the DOG would list the delay like it does with the one seat config.
Apparently the 53 is not going to happen soon...at least the dealers have no estimated timeline like they did with the 450. One made a call & got nothing helpful, just a. “Kick off those announced first and AMG models later”
Is there a big advantage in delivery time placing an early order vs waiting for an updated DOG? I’ve attempted to discuss 5-6% off MSRP on an early order with 2 dealers and both don’t want to negotiate until they know pricing. When I “say cash, no trade” it takes away any wiggle room and the initial feedback is that a 6% discount is going to be difficult to attain.

Options, etc.
But apparently he was confused and wheel price was from my earlier sheet? If you go into the German Konfigurator you can select the AMG Line Exterior for 3,272.50 euros, which when you back out the 19% VAT, is roughly on par with the US cost of $2,900 (many times our cost in dollars is about equal to theirs in euros). Then when you go to wheel selection you will see the 20" AMGs are "free of charge" as in post #1013 above.

Wheel options
The German AMG Line Exterior package upcharge price (without VAT) for the AMG 21s is 1,071 euros, so I'm estimating US$900-1,000. The 22s are 2,261 euros, estimate $1,900-2,000 US. Of course North America is not being offered the 22s at the current time.

Dumb question about TPMS. I was researching wheels and winter tires and a light bulb went on about TPMS. Does Mercedes have sensors in the wheel or is it like Audi monitoring the tire revolutions to detect low pressure. I assume there are Sensors but don’t find anything specific, is that the case? If so how do you reset a Mercedes. Trigger tool or is there a menu item or??.
