It happens. Nothing to worry about. The people that operate these are consummate professionals. Having sailed on one from Bremerhaven to Brunswick a number of years ago, I can speak first hand to how they conduct themselves and ensure the security/safe arrival of the precious cargo on board.

Here's the ultimate destination before release: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mercedes-Benz+Vehicle+Preparation+Center/@33.8274029,-118.141914,18z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x80dd324730018abf:0x119e4435e977a dc4!8m2!3d33.828269!4d-118.1422352?shorturl=1 Vehicles are trucked (not driven) from Port to VPC in most circumstances. |
The Martorell arrived in Long Beach yesterday. So I guess I just have to exercise some serious patience for the cars to be released. Where can I find the list of when the cars get their EPA certification?

Valiant Ace is on her way to Long Beach. Port contact there said the ship is operating normally and no further delays in schedule are expected.

CARB updates for 8/27–all E450 variants passed. Also the all new G550... |
New G550 is good news. I think that might be the first 2019MY with the 4.0L V8 approved. Definitely feels like we're getting closer to the big-boy cars now.

Agreed. Ugh. Well...suddenly it’s basically September. Guess October hurts, but this too shall pass. Ugh. |
Also, just to be clear. No 63 car that was emissions tested last year is waiting for emissions approval. There were no meaningful or significant changes that would alter emissions results. This is purely marketing/business.

100% sure about this? No need to certify annually? |

Yes. If an engine is identical from one year to the next its certification rolls over to the next year. Manufacturers don't have to pay to retest and certify an engine that has already been certified.
Would love it if they didn't have to--meaning it's just the one roadblock (MBUSA) versus an additional one (gov't). |

Even if there are potential software changes? I'm totally ignorant about this--but figured with recent software "cheats," if there was a change in software (which I'm not sure if there even is a change for the E63S for 2019), the gov't would want to retest?
