So delivery ETA has slipped a little, showing 4/25 to the railhead, then will be a couple days to the dealer. Dealer says the ETA always slips. If it gets to the dealer 4/27, likely will be 4/29 before we get it.

My GLE 450 arrived this AM on the exact date scheduled and is in Prep. I won’t pick it up until Wednesday or Thursday since they are doing Xpel
protective film before I take delivery. I might get time tomorrow to take a look at the fit and finish but was told that it is very good. Finally after almost a 5 month wait.��

I'm excited for you Ron!!! Can't wait to see the pictures and impressions!

Ron.s

Thanks guys I’m excited that the wait is finally over. I have a lot to learn about Mercedes and MBUX so it may take me some time.

tery

please let me know how you like the power on the 450.

So I just got a call from Dealer today about my order (placed 2 weeks ago). He said the estimated build date is August, but, the only issue is, Mercedes doesn't have E-ABC for it. He said there is no estimate on how long the delay, nor did they mention about the cause. They just said its not available. I am not sure what I should do at the moment. I told the SA that I would wait a few weeks to see if there is more information on the same build (with E-ABC).

Yikes. I submitted my build two weeks ago as well. The dealership originally told me it would take about 3 months before production. I haven't gotten any word from the dealership since day one but this doesn't bode well for the rest of us waiting for our orders.

I canceled my Feb order when I found it would be August delivery at earliest. Found a car at a local dealer...Pick it up Thursday. Never ordered before and never will again.

My serial number is 33798 and they started at zero so are cranking them out....they must have a lot of orders!

zengshengliu

The SA told me the opposite lol. He said no one must be ordering it so Mercedes is not building it... I feels like he underestimate the number of people who wants E-ABC

Maybe they aren’t building them that fast, just assigning Serial Numbers. I’m trying not to feel guilty guys but it’s very difficult ��

GregW / Oregon

The VIN is assigned at the very start of production. Not sure what that really means - maybe just a body shell is assigned to that production. After painting "bodies are sent to the ASRS (Automated Storage & Retrieval System) where the painted bodies are stored. The ASRS enables a Just-In-Time automated storage and retrieval of any painted body that our Production Control department orders. Upon order the painted body automatically travel to the appropriate assembly shop."

So, a body could be assigned a VIN and just set there for weeks until all the other parts are available. No way they are going to partially assemble a vehicle then pull it from the line to wait. Mine took 5 1/2 weeks from that time to finish.

My build still at B4 as of today, Canadian side still need to certify 450 according to my sales

Tery your S/N is the first I've seen among the custom ordered that is lower than mine: 20844 and they're still telling me "4-6 week ETA"!
