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

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.

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
