I just want some closure. An explanation. I have a lot into this wagon. Basically, been working on it for 3 years, ever since I traded my 600 mile 2021 back to dealer for a 2022 allocation. Price of stupidity.
My fear is the wagon gets delivered to dealer right after I make another purchase
At this point, all I'm asking for is some transparency so I can make an informed decision on how to proceed.

I would not buy it without ceramics. If damaged cosmetically, with proper repair, I would still take delivery. Full-disclosure is especially important to me because so few 2023s exist, and the one I know of has transmission issues.

I.T. Guy forget Mercedes and try to get an allocation for one of these. Other than the 22" wheels (they're gorgeous but I despise big wheels) it's virtually flawless.

^^^I've been looking. Have been unable to find a good build with ceramics for MSRP. I won't ever pay over. If I found a new Performance allocation at MSRP, I'd give a deposit today!

I'm confused regarding the allocation 2023 non-FE E63S wagons. Initially, I understood that there were only going to be 8 units for the US. Now, the developing information yields at least 25 units if my math is correct. How could anyone who wanted a wagon actually order one or even find one that has already been set for production? Did parts magically appear to allow more to be built? Totally misleading to both the dealers and the potential buyers.

It's crazy that of the 25+ non-FEs, Walnut Creek got two...and they didn't even have interest in the first one?! And four were identical spec built towards the end without buyers. You would've thought that, if they were only going to make 25+, they would have tried to direct them to people who wanted them.

So, you believe it's a conspiracy with the dealer and MB to withhold delivery? Really?

Sorry if I didn't make sense. Back in December I had numerous conversations with the GM about their first allocation, a January build. They had no buyers for the car. Tried to make it mine, but he insisted on a Magno color with black interior; in case I flaked he thought this would bring the most value. Both were deal breakers for me, so no compromise was made. Both the Selenite Magno (since sold) and the white cars they received landed on the lot without buyers.

^ White one has been there for a while...
Actually the first allocation we were discussing in December was locking in January. I think a February build. Excellent chance we never would have met on price, but it never got to that point. Anyway, just strange that they were allocated two, for a dealer without any apparent demand for the car.

If your luck is like mine, if you bail early it’ll show up. If you stick it out it’ll take forever.
I’d wait it out some more. Just think - you will be the only person in North America to get a wagon they actually wanted and ordered!! Wow, put like that, what a joke. LOLz.
Stick it out a little more!!!
I can get RS6 P at MSRP here… I just want me an E. After the new transmission it should be clear sailing…

^^^Just think I also went through long (3 month) ordering process for 2022 (got Porsche's Slate Grey approved). The the week after my build locked, I started hearing rumors on this forum that there would be no 2022. Dealer denied for a month or two before official news hit.
If you can really get RS6 Avant Performance at MSRP, do yourself a favor and spec/order one right now with ceramics. In the US there are no ceramic brakes being offered. Worst case scenario, you build a great car and enjoy it for a few months. If you decide to sell it will more than likely be so rare that you won't lose any money.

I understand the dilemma. Wanted a 2022 told none are being made. Surprise offered 2023 allocation! Went thru numerous dumb dumb times with my order, then again with deciding which non-ideal spec car I should buy, almost bought a black one out of province. Then BAM got my car.
