Not great to see these supply delays. Not sure if this related to supply capacity or sourcing issues.
It appears that the facelift is successful in terms of orders as the S-Class factory in Sindelfingen is moving to 2 shifts (something they stopped in 2024). While not a direct indicator for the US pricing, the facelift model prices in Europe have increased by 1.9-5.2% (5,2% for the S580). We'll have to see how these tariff games play out for the US pricing.

There's a primary and secondary status. The primary status was self-explanatory- LF03 Factory Order Confirmed.
the secondary status wasn't as clear -
SA01 Allocated (without end cust) what's that bit?
Also my dealer is in Virginia and I thought the car would go to Baltimore. But the sheet says VPC Brunswick which is hundreds of miles further away.

If the dealership is actually closer to the other VPC in Baltimore, you should be able to ask to have it moved to that VPC.
Here is a picture of the Netstar area that needs to be completed.

Another vote for green!
Mine isn’t as fancy as Lovin’s, but some of us have limited budgets. I’ve already had a w223, so I went with the AMG package just to get the different steering wheel. I wanted 20” wheels but had too many blow-outs even with the old 19’s… although the blow-outs stopped once I got rid of those terrible OEM run-flats.
I finally pulled the trigger after seeing the exclusive leather delays. My dealer had a June build available.

I ditched the run-flats on my old w223.
I'm told there is no option to select tires when ordering, so yes, I assume the new car will arrive with run-flats.
Once it comes in, I'll look up reviews of whatever tire it is, and then decide to keep or replace them.

The new DOG specifically tells you which tires come with which wheels and your wheels are not supposed to have run flats so I think the R66 code is an error, or the DOG is in error.

Interesting... I don't think any W223 has room even for a small spare, so I'm assuming they're all coming with run-flats, even though it doesn't say that in the DOG?
My old one (with 19") came with just R02 on the sticker, but they were run-flats.
