Question Production planning

Is it possible by any way to know the exact date of production of our car ? Mine should be produced during the 2nd decade of April, but I do not know the precise date !

Also nay info on how many hours does it take to make that kind of car ?

Thanks

Mine is in the first decade of April (i.e. now) and I still can't get a make date from either MB in Germany or my dealer.

I have a tracking number, but I understand the policy is that although the car is made on any day in that decade, it is not released to the dealer until the last day of the decade.

You would think the next step for Mercedes- Benz would be to watch your car going through the build process. Shouldn't be too hard these days to have accessible video links etc.
