A number of supply chain shortfalls unending the GLE order process. Be sure to understand if your options are an issue. For example, a car I ordered three weeks ago expected in June, just rolled to December at best

DE1 discount is fixed - the erson that is logging you into the system to register you for a DE1 would be able to tell you that - and tell you if GLE qualifies.. so what's your point asking here on this forum ?

i didn’t ask for anything else so I’m not sure. I was worried about getting it since I had seen in the past new models were not eligible. Never hurts to ask though

Thanks...I just checked with my friend who was going to get me a control number, but she didn't see it available in the system as of just this morning.
Did you have one specifically for 2020 GLE?

I am too waiting on a control number from a friend unfortunately he is very busy atm 
Great to know that the GLE is not excluded and good to see a confirmation that its 12.25% off MSRP as I expected
I was told that MB requires a "bunch of personal info" to issue the control number, and it takes a while too - @shanelewis79 @virgo99 what is your experience?

2017 GLC300; 2020 GLE450 (Ordered)
My dealer just told me the control number doesn't work for 180 days after the car launched. Car launched on February 14th, so 8/14/2019 is when it'll go live I guess.
He showed me a memo from Mercedes saying it can't be used.

Employee Discount (often called Friends & Family) is different program than Fleet Discount - both use Control#'s to verify the discount - but two separate "discount" programs.
On Fleet Programs - you have a CAN# for your company - then if you meet the company's requirements you are issued a Control# (Certificate) that gets entered into your Sales Docs.
I "think" Fleet discounts on GLE are running about $500... each month the Fleet Discounts are recalculated for that month - based on # of units and # of weeks supply in the MB pipeline.
