I ordered the Nappa Leather/Microfiber Steering Wheel ($500 Option) and did not order the AMG fuel cap.

Keep my 2021 or stick with the 2024 order?

Spec'd and ordered my GLE53 back in early June, as my lease is expiring on my 21 this September. We'll, first if was the Emerald Green delay, then hit with the ARC issue. Dealer told me today that if I remove the ARC, I'm looking at a November delivery. I'm honestly debating now just keeping my loaded 2021 GLE53, and just waiting to next year to see what they do different. Thoughts?

Current spec
- Emerald Green
- Bahia Brown/ Black Nappa Leather
- Pinnacle Trim
- Night Package
- Accoustic Comfort
- brown linden wood
- ARC
- 22" matte black wheels
- Driver Assistance Package
- Trailer hitch
- soft close doors

honestly just keep it and wait to next year. That is wait I did and they kept calling me and removing stuff that I wanted. I was not going to be happy paying that amount knowing it’s not the car I want.

Nice build. Very similar to my build though I ordered the Acoustic Comfort Package, 21" wheels (I do like the 22" wheels-main I reason I went with the 21" was to get the All Season tires instead of the Performance/Summer tires and a little softer ride), 4 zone A/C. In May I originally ordered the ARC and really want it but MB deleted it from my build in early July and I was told by the dealer that they will not offer for the 53 for the foreseeable future. So I decided to go ahead without it. So if you are waiting for the ARC, which would be nice to have, you might be waiting for the 2025 model year. I have no confirmation that what the dealer told is true and who knows MB might just change their mind and start offering it sooner, who knows. If I were in your position, I would probably hold on to the 2021 and wait and see when MB starts offering the ARC. The other option is to look into the Porsche Cayenne and where you can get the ARC comparable, however just know you will pay $10k more for abase and $30K for the S.

Guys, update, today I visited buy dealer and he pulled up my build as with 5 days to go no changes and production date is still Aug 21. That is great. Dealer smiled and said to me that he thinks things at MB Alabama plant has calmed down and unpleasant surprises he thinks are pretty much done with. I hope he is right. But for all of you out there with Production Dates in the future that is good news. I did read a post where a fellow took delivery today of a 53 and he said the only issue was the panoramic sunroof. Okay we need to check it when we take delivery. Just a heads up and hopefully it was a one off. I am getting hopeful that I will be driving my new 53 hopefully by the end of August okay maybe very early September if real life happens.

I didn't see that post. What was the issue with his panoramic sunroof. Just want to know so I can check mine when it arrives in early September. Thanks!

Never mind......Just saw the post. As you you said, this is probably an anomaly, but I will definitely check mine when taking delivery.

To let you know, picked up my 2024 AMG GLE 53W yesterday. Awesome. No problems at all. So far have not found I item that does not work. The technology, which is the main reason I bought it, is really nice. No surprises at all, built in accordance with the last production order 10 days out. Good luck to all, hopefully you will like your new AMG GLE as much as I like mine. Yes worth wait. PS I have the 21" wheels and could not get ARC, rides great, no complaints.

My sales guy just sent me the final build sheet for my GLE 53 AMG Coupe and the AMG fuel cap is not on there but the carbon fiber steering wheel is still on it. I am hoping they don't remove it when it comes time to build on September 29th.

Update: Got confirmation that build date is September 30th and it should arrive at the dealership on October 15th! So far so good.

no idea. the web site has had a number of errors. the only one I know is indicative of "delayed" which means you can not order it is ARC and the AMG fuel cap. need to call your dealer and they should know if you can order it independently of the third row. good luck

I have had my new car for a few days and I can report a couple of really impressive aspects. 1. it is fast, plenty fast. 2. the driver assistance lane centering works great if the lane makers are clear, takes curves at 60 with no problem keeping the car centered and it is smooth no ping ponging. the only little disappointment is that the driver instrument cluster options you can only change the middle the area, not the right or left areas, they are fixed. oh well it is okay but would be nice if I could put what I want in all three areas.

Left and right instrument cluster fixed? You can swipe left or right to select the left or right cluster, then up or down to change its display.

Congratulations!! Glad you are enjoying your new GLE 53W. Mine is still waiting to get loaded on the transporter, but should arrive at dealer within a week. I also got the 21" wheels w/o ARC and glad to hear you're happy with the ride. One of my best friends bought a '23 GLE 53 with 22" wheels w/o ARC and is not happy at all with the ride. He is going to change tires from the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires to either Continental or Hankook. Hoping that improves the ride.

Anyone able to get the carbon fiber steering wheel? Was informed that they are out of the material for the rest of the year and couldn't add it to my 24 GLS 63 order.

As of the 28th I was told that the carbon fiber steering wheel is still on my build but between now, my September 30th build date and October 15th delivery date it could change.

Thanks for the update. I've seen some pre-facelift GLE's with the power 2nd row with no 3rd row. I know they have tweaked some packages and options around and also updated the website. Possibly it's a website glitch. Someone recently posted their order form with the power 2nd row and the price was around $860 and the website has it listed as $1,200.

The GLE63 has always had the power second row with no third row, and yes there were a number of pre production GLE350/450s with that same setup, but it's a normally available option in many other non US markets.
