GLS Delayed Production
As an FYI: There was recently a fire at a supplier's plant in Michigan for Magnesium cockpit parts and that has delayed production of GLS, GLE and GLE coupes.

They'll find another vendor for the part. Production won't be shut down for 4 months over a single part. Ford is already resuming production tomorrow.

I had an order to be built 2nd decade of May. Dealer just called me and said he's being told 4-6 week delay. Hopefully it's not longer than that. He also said he expects Mercedes to "do something" for me because of the delay, but I'll believe that when I see it.
