That would be consistent with CARB saying that it was only a couple of days for the EO. Let's hope!

I mean I literally quoted the email for you all; not sure what other proof you need. Whether or not your specific dealer rep has checked this email this morning is another story. I got the notice and immediately jumped on here.

Just trying to help out those who have been waiting, which is a lot of you it seems.

Your dealer representatives should see status changes in Netstar over the next couple days. Do realize that we have a holiday on Thursday this week, which will affect logistics.

Tacocat, thank you for the info! And please don't take my responses as negative / ungrateful, I'm super hopeful and excited that I can get that dang car! I even announced it formally to my entire family who all looked at me like I was a crazy person. And in truth, this wait is making me a bit nutty!

There are improvements on the 19s over the 18s. Improved Distronic. Actually a lot better. The new steering wheel which is better. The seat position buttons. Use to have to hold them down on the memory buttons. Now just a push and release and the seat will go to memory setting. Should be improved sound from the base stereo. I don’t know what they did but my 2019 sounds a lot better than my 2018. I’m basing this info on my 2019 e450 wagon which should be the same as the amg with the things I’ve listed here. I’m actually enjoying my e450 more than I did my amg wagon. It does everything well. Just not as fast as the amg of course.

My dealer said status change was to "ready", and my car is in Long Beach so don't think it's VPC dependent. Looking good!!!

That would be saying something considering my 2018 works better in most situations than the Tesla autopilot I drove on the same roads under similar conditions.

Is there a source for all of these improvements or just your opinion? That's first I've heard of any of those things happening. The distronic in the '19 G550 I just drove felt identical to the '18 E-class'

Can you please provide your source for information pertaining to launch of all C63S variants? My dealer has said they have not received release confirmation.
