2022 GLE current time from VPC to S. E. U. S. Dealers?
Anyone have recent data for approximately how long it takes for GLE's to leave the Alabama VPC and arrive via auto carrier to dealers in FL/GA/SC?

TIA, Bob

My SA tells me that they get no estimates on how long the vehicle stays at the Vance plant once it's built before shipping. All they receive at the dealership is a "released to carrier" notice. Could be days, weeks, etc. Then typically heads to a VPC. Could be there a few days too.

I was told the same thing. My car was completed on 12/14/2021, went to the VPC for a few days and then sat waiting for a carrier to ship to PA for a month. I received it on 1/14/2022.

That's the most recent shipping time data on the new GLE I have seen - thanks for updating this post with that. I would be elated if I got mine in 4 weeks! My build was 2/3/22.

22 GLE 450, soon to be E53 Cabrio
Live in Charlotte and GLE 450 was completed Nov 12 or so and we received on Nov 20, so happened pretty quickly for us.

If a car sits very long at the VPC (after production) it might be waiting for a missing component. My 53 sat for over a month and I found a piece of tape on the lower windshield that said “install front bumper at VPC”.

Yeah, I guess there are always variables out of our control that could affect this. Patience is not a strong suit of mine.... LOL

I have a build I am waiting for and was told delays for shipping are about 4 weeks on most cars right now from Alabama.
