I'll be damned - its here!
Got a call when I was in Greg's neck of the woods this week (Portland, Lake Oswego, etc) that my GLE may show up by the end of the week. Got the call today that it is here. It has the E-Abc option and I will find out soon if forgoing the AMG package for the Burmester 3D was worth it.
Also, on the roof spoiler, I ordered it. It was, however, deleted by the factory. My sales guy called port and said they confirmed it was a supplier issue and MBUSA had no plans to rectify once the supplier issue has been figured out. If anyone has the dealer telling them it would be added there, would you please relay any info on that? My dealer is clueless about being able to add it at the dealer level.
I never thought mine would make it here and I would buy something else instead. I'll pick it up tomorrow morning sometime, after the tint is done. Maybe Greg's luck wore off on me a little while I was there. If so, thanks Greg!

It was me whose dealer told me yesterday that they "assumed the spoiler would be added at their dealership" later. That dealership is the McKinney, TX store, just north of Dallas. My salesperson who said that is Michael Clayton at (469) 678-3074. The factory deleted the spoiler on my order as well yesterday which is what prompted the comment but it's an assumption, not confirmed that I know of.
Hope that's helpful, though feels like it isn't really.
Congrats and enjoy your beautiful new ride!

The roof spoiler is a VPC installed item so one could assume that it could be installed at any time after you get the car so long as it’s in stock.

I suppose that is the issue, then. Supplier problem. The spoiler was the bone I threw myself for choosing Burmester 3D over AMG exterior package and was bummed when it was left off. If anyone finds a part number, please post. I am looking around and will do the same if I find one.

Does the dealer build out guide w/ numbers help you or are you trying to find the OEM? This is what my salesperson used to get the numbers for the ordering. D11 is the roof spoiler on the dealer guide.

We put $1K down for our 450 in December, with an original delivery date of April 14th.
With these posts, I'm increasingly encouraged, especially considering those reporting from Dallas (we're in Plano).
My gut says we may hear in the next couple of weeks. Here's hoping...
We didn't get E-ABC, MBUX Technology Package, or rear spoiler, so it hasn't been any of those.
We did get it in Lunar Blue, which I haven't seen much of (other than one or two in the temporary logs in AL).
The other could be that it's in the middle of a one of those lots and they can't just pluck it out.

Yeah, I was surprised actually that it came through. I figured it would take them awhile to sort it all out, so I was a bit shocked when it showed up.
