My 2019 E63S Estate is on the Martorell. It's due to arrive in Brunswick on the 8th. Not sure how it gets to the west coast from there. Can't wait to have it in my possession.

If it's a west coast delivery like mine, it'll remain on the vessel until docking in Long Beach. From there, it'll go to the Mercedes VPC near the airport and queue until they're released to dealers.

Yes, and then a bunch of stops in Latin America + Mexico. This is unusual. Kingston isn't a typical port, neither are the stops in Honduras, etc. This particular voyage has these extra stops for whatever reason. Go figure!

My car is also on the Valiant Ace—but NetStar (although from a week ago) states ETA 8/17 for SoCal. Guess it got pushed to 1 week to 8/23?

I was under the assumption west coast deliveries keep going south to the Panama Canal and then head back up. It's why it takes around 2 months for west deliveries and 1 for east. It wouldn't be cost effective to load hundreds of thousands of cars a year onto rail to make a cross country trip.

Sirius Highway is in Baltimore and interesting to watch the ship (on the Internet) going back and forth between terminals. Started at the VPC and then went across the channel to a different port. Now back on the other side of the channel at another berth. Who knew ordering a new car would have me cruising the marine traffic sites. Now we will see who is the first person on this list to take delivery on a 2019.

Just got word that my e63s will arrive in Baltimore on 8/10. SA didn't have the ship name. He also said that he thinks Mercedes will release the 19s soon. He is basically out of 18s. Has 3 2018 e series left, and this month they are selling used cars since they have no inventory of new cars. Perhaps, I will actually get my August delivery!

That was the original shipment date, when it left Germany but it has sensed changed while on the water... you can also check the dates and times yourself since you know the destinations.. it updates on the Molroro website similar to the marine websites

My ship just got in this morning to Long Beach.. the Orchid Ace.... should be at the VPC by this evening... and now the wait begins.

So heard from SA today. Consistent with comments in other thread from Mercedes of Germantown, he is being told that the e63's will not be released until the 4th quarter. So looks like our cars will sit in the VPC for several months, at least. Obviously quite disappointed. But we will just have to see.

My production date is beginning of Sept so I guess I'm not missing out on anything. Thought I was late to the party as I had originally planned to order for June or July production slot.

Anyone else have night package deleted from their build to to availability? Particularly anyone that sailed over on the Orchid Ace. I think my dealer forgot to add it and is blaming the factory.
#299
Member
No. Did you see the build sheet before the build or just rely on them to tell you they included it? I know I checked my sheet several times and there were numerous mistakes, including the color.

I saw several as well the last one, without the Night Package and emailed the Sales Manager back and said looks good, except missing the night package and wheel locks. He instantly replied he was adding them right then. Pretty sure he forgot. I went back through me emails and food the whole conversation. Not much I can do at this point besides reordering or taking it with shiny bits.
