Only one of them has been an ordered example, the others were spec'd by Mercedes, as far as I'm aware.
They are pretty aware of at this point what is and isn't available. There are certainly still constrained options but not how it was the past two years where it was a toss up what was going to arrive.

unfortunately, the V8 is on its way out so the dealership only has 1 or 2 allocations and some are not getting any. If you really want a 2024 GLE 63S, you have to tell your dealership you want to be notified when they become available

not sure I mean the facelift does include the V8 so assuming they will be producing enough V8, given the 2024 GLE 63 S is no limited edition, safe to say the V8 is here to stay for a little longer perhaps?

I was told by 2025 that Mercedes will get rid of the V8’s so let’s see how true that is.

and as of now there’s only 7 states (and Europe) which have implemented the gas ban by 2035. And that’s only for new cars anyways. Gas stations and ICE vehicles won’t be removed from roads for decades to come.
Although I will say, this all played a part in being able to talk my wife into getting the 63 over 53 this year. As by the time we get another model, I’m sure the v8 will be gone. I’d definitely say to pony up the $ and go v8 in 2024 or 2025 if you want one, as it may be the final years on the GLE. I’m pondering just getting a 10 year warranty on my new 63 and driving it into the 2030s haha.

the gas ban is not why mercedes is phasing out v8’s so quickly. It’s due to emissions and them not being able to have the v8 pass emissions standards without hampering its performance greatly. Their logic is that if you’re killing its power, why would you not just implement a better tuned 4 or 6 cycle instead.

The upgraded lights with the four dots like others mentioned looks like a Porsche.

It is an optional addition according to the order guide.

It is optional in the order guy. When i ordered the car, i found out in the order paperwork and told my dealer, she said it was MB's glitch and should be fixed. Couple days earlier, i emailed her to check on the production date and to confirm if the winter package was removed. she told me that the winter package is in all incoming cars so far and the production date was postponed to June 26. I checked several dealership's invoice around SoCal dealerships and found all these incoming cars have the winter package in them and charged $450. It looks like it is not an optional order but mandatory from MB

Honestly though, winter package was a no brainer for me. That is a desired feature with the steering wheel when eventually reselling. Same reason I added the 4 zone climate and rear heated seats…..I have a small kiddo and might not use right now, but for a potential future buyer with teenagers that’s a huge perk.
At end of day, we’re discussing features that result in 0.5%-2% increase in purchase price. In the grand scheme this is pretty small and makes your vehicle more ‘loaded’ when it comes to selling onwards.
In my experience, aesthetic stuff like Carbon fiber for example isn’t really going to improve your resale but ‘useful’ features like certain packages actually will.
