You made it on a ship this morning, the Dorado Leader.

Mercedes CLA
Hello Mr Cincy Guy, @CincyMBGuy

I assume you are a SA, I am the guy from Canada. I was informed earlier that my car production is finished (although he is not that sure) / just "wrapping up". And the reason why he said this is finishing up is because Mercedes isn't always accurate (maybe Mercedes like to "lie" / not transparent / completely change something up?) I since you are SA I wonder if this is the case, maybe even you don't trust Mercedes because they "lie".

The second one is regarding the status of "Produced - Pending Factory Outage (3). I am wondering if you can explain to me a little about it, I am assuming it is literally like a power outage and the 3 means day 3??? Or maybe by outage they mean chip/part shortage so they can't proceed with it?

And is this close to actually delivering it like the actual transport on a boat, or I can expect long delays from here to the boat since maybe the car is "built" but not like 100% built.

Thank you for your kind help!

My EQS SUV has been at the Vance VPC for over a week. CODE: LLB0 - Vehicle @ VPC.
VIN is in the high 2000's. Does anyone have a similar circumstance?

Are they possibly fixing production errors or adding missing parts? Is this a normal delay for domestically produced cars at this plant?

I'll be honest, I haven't heard that code before. I would assume the outage is a parts outage, not related to factory power.

I wouldn't as much say Mercedes is "lying" as much as Netstar is just an automated system. It provides status updates, not a person to speak with. Status changes are not always coherent and as smooth as would be expected. It hasn't helped that since a recent Netstar update, status changes do not always show in the system.

I think at this point I’d be able to get a 2023 before this one is ever completed

That's quite the guess. Time in port has been 3-4 weeks for most of my cars I've been following. You will likely have a bit longer waiting.

You cleared customs (appears to be a new Netstar code) yesterday. It still has not been checked in at the VPC.

Go to this site Free AIS Ship Tracker - VesselFinder and type in the ship name that your car is assigned to. My dealership was able to provide me with the ship name.

Hope this helps.

dealership is in RI. Just spoke with my sales agent. He said same thing. 2 of his cars are showing up in California. They called someone and said they really don’t think they are in California but not sure. Also was informed Mercedes may put a two month hold on the car because it’s a 23. Ugh!

The ship you were on is on the East coast so I agree, very unlikely that the car is in California. Netstar is full of errors right now.
