Sure you won't get compensation, the only thing you can do is cancel your order.

You can just be content with your discount or ask for some maintenance to be included

My questions is do you know other markets with the same probleme or is it only in Europe?

People have been waiting for their GLEs here in the United States for up to a year in some cases with no updates on the status of their car. If you do put an order in, be prepared to wait. If you have the patience, it will definitely be worth it.

I have also ordered my gle 53 3 months ago.i have an info that car is ready for shiping to eu what takes more than another 3 months. My delivery date is around end of february.

It does not take 3 month for the car to travel from USA to EU...
more like 3 weeks or less.

Wouldn't those be manufactured in Europe in the first place?
And if shipping from the US it will go train + ship + truck, if slowed at Customs and depending on connections can easily be a month or more....

As far as I know, the GLEs are not manufactured in the EU.

Shipping here to the DR is about 3-4 weeks.

All GLE’s are produced in the USA and shipped out of the VPC in Brunswick Georgia....not very far from the plant Near Tuscaloosa Alabama. The hold up isn’t likely transportation but they may have more supplier issues since there are some new parts to the GLE 53
