Dealers started to receive 350 now. I checked 4 dealers inventory and none of them have 2024 450 yet. I assume 450s haven't been produced yet ?

Mine has a production date scheduled for May 30.

I have had an order in for GLE 450 2024 since April (deposit paid). They tried to get it to accept order this past Friday 5/12/23. Order was rejected due to chip availability. I have this vehicle pretty loaded except for soft close doors is the only major addon not included. Was told they don't have any idea when this will go in. They will try when they get allocations opened up every week.

Question: I had same build vehicle for 2023 put in May of 2022 - not accepted for production. Got the deposit returned after many months. Then got a call from dealer to come look at a vehicle they got in off my build order. I went to look at the GLE to see how my color combo turned out. Vehicle sticker was about 12-15K less than what I had ordered. I rejected the vehicle which the dealer knew up front when I got my deposit returned.

Are they still not able to get chips for items such as: dash cam, heads-up display, and augmented video?

Thanks in advance for any info. Just hope I am not going to be in the same situation as I was with the 2023 order.

I have order in for 2024 450 GLE since the last of March (this will be my 3rd MB SUV) - I got a call from Dealer on Saturday that the vehicle order could not be filled due to chip allocation. I have this vehicle loaded (except for soft closed doors). They will continue to try when they have their next open slots.

I went thru this in 2023 - another loaded vehicle - never got order due to chips. The dealer seemed to think they solved the chip problem as they were mfg chips stateside.

Are any vehicles coming out with dash cams, augmented video, heads-up display, driver assistance package, surround view cameras, etc?

Thank you in advance for your knowledge on the 2024 orders for GLE 450.

I ordered mine on April 15th and the PO# was generated on April 20. The purchase order has everything I ordered on it. I maxed out everything with the HUD, Dashcam, Airmatic suspension, soft close doors, etc. The dealership says that the order was accepted and doesn't expect any changes. I am still a little suspicious about what will actually show up. Too many horror stories about missing options.

MzLynn

Tks for reply. I also had the HUD, Augmented Video, Dashcam, Airmatic Suspension, pulled off the soft close doors, and got the wood steering wheel., all the Chrome addons, the AMG package, the panorama sunroof, and other items Were you able to see the new interior colors? Catalana Beige or the Bahai Brown? I saw the Catalana but not the Bahai.

My dealership told me that 6/29 is the production date for my 450W4.

why don’t you ask your dealer precisely why it was rejected/for what option? Do they not have this info?

GLE450s have already begun arriving at dealerships. MB Willoughby has one, MB Raleigh, Easton, Fort Mitchell, Grapevine has an insane $98k spec with 22 inch wheels and air suspension, Austin, they all have one in stock. But I don't think MB has started building customer/dealer spec cars yet, I think they are all Mercedes Benz specced cars that are meant to be the first to show at dealerships.

I did and they didn't have any details.

I did when they called me - they didn't have any details

If all of the build details and dates posted here are accurate then I'm not sure you are being told what is really going on. I am pretty sure that when you order, you are supposed to get a confirmation from Mercedes (above what you get from the dealer) with your build details attached to it. Did you ever get anything like this? If not, I'd say that the chances that your dealer never had an allocation for your order or they gave it to someone else are pretty high. Since you haven't gotten anything from the dealer that you are working with I recommend that you check with a different dealer.

MzLynn

Thanks for reply. They took my good faith money and gave me a printout, no confirmation number. Will wait a week or two and see what happens. If not will check with another dealer.

Wow my dealer gave me a build start date of June 29 for all GLE 53 suv. Did you get a coupe? I have seen one 2024 GLE 53 couple show up here in SWFL dealership.

That was around my original build date too (originally), late June.

My dealer just advised me the build date is now June 7th. Assuming 4 weeks transit time, I should see it first week of July.

I drove a 2024 GLE 350 yesterday. The 450 I ordered should arrive near the end of August.

Mine was scheduled to be built May 30. I just got notified by the dealership that it was built a week earlier on May 24. The current status is FINALINSPTN. Salesman expects delivery in a couple of weeks.
