I can't find it on the website, but it looks like some have been able to purchase it?

20 GLE on order, 17 GLC 300 4M, Ducati 1299R
I believe it is on restriction right now, not available until December if I’m not mistaken. I see some dealers have a few inbound units with the Tartufo.

My GLE450 delivered in April with it. Guess I was lucky!

DaveD9, would it be possible to get a couple of pictures of the front and back seat so I can show my wife before we place our order? I think we would like this over the full brown interior. Thanks in advance.

Looks much nicer than the DOG pic. I would have ordered it if I's known: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...ml#post7788951

I got my new GLE with tartufo interior and don't have any of those dimples! Its sitting at home but can take photos tonight and post them. I love the interior combination. Did it with the Lunar Blue exterior. MBUSA has it on delay due to a suppler issue and it will be available again in December.

Dimples are very pronounced in the photo. I took a look today and they are hardly noticeable. Not an issue for me. I'm also approaching 9000 miles.

I also have the lunar blue and would do the same combination again! Reminds me of the midnight blue I had on my 1973 Camaro, wish I still had that one!

Yes! Its beautiful! I think the leather is impacted by humidity. I was hiking and it rained on our way back to the car. I was soaked. When we got home it looked like huge dimples and creases. I left the windows cracked in the garage and about 2 hours later they were gone.

You have a point, I'm at the lake house and its 65 today. Just looked and they are gone!

On the German website there is a possibility to order a combination of black and tartufo. Not on the Czech website yet.

Interesting. I found a rig today that has tartufo leather. So it must be one that was pulled from production and recently finished?

Yep, MBdecoder.com shows that it had a production date of 3/01/19. Wonder if that might make them more willing to negotiate ...

I guess you're talking about Wappingers Falls... you might consider buying it "really" if it's a fit for what you want - any rig like your's on order has less than 50% chance of being completed/built this year ...

Not Wappingers Falls, but yes, we're considering it. It's close to what we want, has a couple of options our build doesn't have, but is missing a couple of key ones that we like. We're really on the fence. It'll run us an additional $7K, which makes it a bit harder to stomach not getting the exact build we wanted. Really debating whether to be patient and get exactly what we want for less $.

The fact that it appears to be a model that was pulled from production and sat in a lot for months has us leaning toward patience.
