No one knows... Ask a Dealer for a better idea. The availability of an allocation date might be out 6 months or more at some Dealers unless they have an earlier slot still available. Then the complexity of your build vs shortages of specific components will be another factor. I waited 6 months for my recent GLE 53 order, 2 months longer than the original estimate. The build date was pushed back a month and then it sat for over a month after it was built waiting for one or more components...48 volt battery? Seats? Something else?
There will be a lot of different opinions but no one can predict accurately in this COVID environment. Even a Dealers allocation date can change so I would plan for 6-7 months. If one is lucky and all the pieces fall into place it might be sooner but....

Essentially correct. Right now you looking at an late April or May build. However there have been some pretty significant delays based on option and equipment availability.
