Order status codes tracked my Mercedes-Benz. These will be of particular interest to those placing special orders for their cars, as these will be at least some of the stages that your order goes through on it's way to your dealership, and ultimately to your driveway.
A4 FINAL SUPPLIER ORDER/SCHEDULED NOT PRODUCED
B0 19 DAYS TO PRODUCTION
B1 13 DAYS TO PRODUCTION
B3 NO CHANGES POSSIBLE
B4 2 DAYS TO COMPLETION
B5 PRODUCTION COMPLETE
B7 AT PORT/READY TO BE SHIPPED
B8 ASSIGNED TO SHIP
C1 SHIP DEPARTED
C2 SHIP NOTIFICATION/ON WQTER
CS SUMITTED TO CUSTOMS
C3 CLEARED CUSTOMS
C4 AT PORT
D1 VPC RECEIVED
D2 SURVEYED AT VPC
D3 POTENTIAL DELAY

D5 RELEASED TO CARRIER
D9 WHOLESALE/CONSIGNMENT PENDING
F1 WHOLESALED AND INVOICED
I1 RETAIL
Cars are built by Mercedes "decades" -- 10-day scheduling periods. This notation is in NetStar. For example, if your decade is 10/03, that would mean you car would be scheduled for production in the 3rd 10 day period of October.

I know right. After it arrived they found a chip on the windshield and it took more than a week for the replacement to arrive. It was finally ready yesterday.

oh man, well I guess you were lucky in a sense. I think there’s a thread about GLE windshields not being available for months. That would have been a nightmare! Hopefully things go smooth from here on out!

I’m waiting on 580 since January. No scheduled date. I’m wondering if I need to shop dealers, but I prefer to be loyal. I assume I won’t get ‘20. But they are vague, I think to keep me from leaving??? Or do they really not know???

Dealers are generally honest so most likely they don't know.. when I followed up a couple of times in Jun, my dealer gave me an option of waiting, cancel and get the deposit back or put a new order for 2021 for delivery in Feb 2020. In Canada there is hardly any difference in 2020 and 2021 model so I decided to wait and got mine last weekend.

I am waiting for a 2020 GLS 450 that I ordered in February. The original production time was late April for mid-May delivery. After the shut-down, it was delayed until late July production. My dealer has kept me informed every step of the way. The VIN was assigned a couple of weeks ago and showed "produced not shipped" yesterday.
I considered shifting over to a 2021, but that would have meant either dropping the E-ABC and Exclusive Trim or upgrading to the 580.
