hope they make that right for you fast

I really hope this isn’t a sign of general early production problems

GS2020

Thanks, me too😢

What part of the center console? How could it be getting hot?🤔

GS2020

The entire console from cup holders to back end. Inside console was so hot you could not touch the plastic. I had a knife in there, and could hardly touch it . Dealer has no clue yet of cause. Could be Transmission under console or wiring issue.

That sucks. Sounds like something wasn't installed like a heat shield or something with wiring.

GS2020

yes, hope it is something simple as missing heat shields

i wonder if it has anything to do with Rapid heat and armrest heat option

GS2020

I did not get that option- live in FL

Still waiting for ours to be scheduled because we picked a designo trim option not yet available. DOG said January but we might be waiting a long time if others have April already. We might try changing it to see if it can be scheduled. OR maybe we’ll be getting a ‘21.

i saw a 6 seater 450 today. I‘m tempted to switch to that since seeing they recline.

is it designo ash open pore ? available June or July -2020. they told me that when I ordered our car, choose the oak open pore instead.

GS2020

We have the six seater and it looks great - so classy looking

Mine is in B3 - X-10 PROD status with estimated build date of 1/6. I originally had 12/16 but got bumped 3 weeks. No reason given but I do have E-ABC spec'ed. I changed my interior choice to Grey/Black Nappa to avoid further delays.

Just sold my 2010 GL350 on Christmas Eve. Didn't think it would go that fast but posted late 12/23 evening and had at least 10 people who expressed interest (some of which were low ballers or scammers) within 12 hours. Sold it to the first person who came to look at it. He wanted to give it to his wife as a Christmas present.

Same thing happened to my build got pushed back 3 weeks and am told i'll see it in early to mid Jan
Dealer said had to do with my option list - car coming in about 115K - couldn't pass on all the goodies - 23's and upgraded interior etc
Looking forward to another awesome GLS ride

I stuck with the AMG 21" Twin spokes with black shading but mine is coming in around the same. Compared it to list price on my 2010 GL350 and it is almost exactly $50K more. About a 75% increase. Granted the GL350 was the bottom of the model line, so if I compared like for like models (GL550) it is probably more like a $30K difference. Inflation makes up about half of that amount so the real dollar increase is more like $15K over the GL550.

gs2020: Update on the heat issue?

2020GLS580

Just found out we have a build date during the second week of February. Any idea what that means in terms of delivery to Chicago?

univ0298

depending on when you ordered, that sounds good. I ordered in October and have an April build date.

what I was told is that 2-3 weeks after build, is reasonable to expect delivery

2020GLS580

I ordered in September. Thanks for the info!

My 2020 GLS 580 was built on December 6, 2019 and will be delivered to the dealership on January 6, 2020. Problem is, I will be out of the country until January 11.

I just got my VIN today. Apparently they started the build on Dec 31 and it's supposed to be done on Monday. I live in DC area, so it goes through Baltimore VPC, so I'm guessing I should have it by Jan 17.

benzman333

Just got word from the dealer that my GLS 580 is built as of yesterday and awaiting shipment from Alabama!
This is like welcoming a new born Baby !
EXCITING !!!

Picked-up GLS580 Today

very nice! hopefully getting my Iridium before month end. Let us know your first impressions.

ksalno

Mine has been sitting in Vance VBC all week and is in a hold status. I'm wondering if it is the roof spoiler option. Anyone else get the roof spoiler and did it cause any delays with your shipment from Vance?

Congrats !! Will be following to read your impressions over the next few weeks.
