That'd be cool. Mine would go to Long Beach before delivery.

 

Long Beach same here, I’m in AZ.

 

Got an actual production date - 12/5. For all of you who had October build dates, did the cars get built on time?

 

Mine was produced on time - but it is on a hold in Germany since 10/25. Also, not to be the bearer of bad news, but although this doesn't mention Mercedes specifically, I would think its an oversight given its the major port in Germany for auto exports. We might all be on the same ship when all is said and done.

Is the hold on your car due to Mercedes waiting for a certain date to release 2023s or the shipping issues? Any idea?

 

Unknown - could be parts supply...could be waiting for market release to the US...could be shipping issues. But I think if its waiting for the 2023 release, they hold them in the US VPC and not in Germany. But that's just what my understanding is, I'm not an expert so its likely I'll be corrected.

 

My '23 is currently on the water on way to US, scheduled to hit port on 11/20.

 

Just got an update from my dealership, my production date still holding at 11/30.

 

Same for me - 12/5/22.

 

you didn't opt for the aerodynamic package or was it not available?

 

how do you guys get this inside info on the build and place in line? im very interested in checking in on mine.

 

Personally not a fan of the big fixed wing, additionally to take advantage of all the downforce it provides you have to be going pretty fast- like track speeds ( don’t remember the exact MPH)

 

Your salesman has access to the build status in Netstar.

 

thanks for replying to my comments Dice cal


super excited to see your car coming soon. And as soon as mine has a vin assigned I will be doing some netstar checking too!!

 

Found the spoiler info at the back of the order guide. Says the fixed spoiler provides an additional 66 lbs of downforce at 186 MPH..😆

 

lol yeah I dont see it having a "practical use" but it does look cool.

 

Two questions:

1.
Is there a newer version of the order guide that is posted in post #1?
That version is July 5, 2022.

2.
I know folks have asked this before, but I’m wondering if we know base prices yet or just the prices of options.
Has anyone compiled a complete list of options pricing even if the base prices are still not available?

 

Update today, production date slipped to 1/20/23 😡

 

mine is either at port or on way to dealer. Also got pricing for '23 gt53. Before options it was at $106,700 ... not sure if it's officially been released yet. Should have car in hand soon.

 

noooooo dang pushed back 2 months?! Did they update the anticipated delivery??

 

Based on the above, I checked with the dealer - mine looks to be on schedule still ... for now...

 

Also, did they give you any reason ?

 

Gave me the standard excuse these days: supply chain issues/logistics

 

Hopefully your build holds and starts production tomorrow! Our builds are similar except different color, wonder if that made the different in my build being slipped? Does the paint shop do one color at a time? Just can’t figure out why my build got slipped 5 weeks, unless my dealership is not that well positioned in Stuttgart and got pushed for other orders…

 

there’s a lot I don’t understand for example, any reviews or videos I’ve seen of the 63 or 63S or 63SE performance has been from another country. I have yet to see anybody get the GT in the US now I’m not sure if that has to do with the same emissions regulations that stopped them from producing these cars last year but I do see the SL 63 in dealers, so I am wondering if it has to do with the actual car itself. So unsure. But when we’re spending 200k on a car an explanation more in depth than “supply chain issue” is in order.
