Hi guys. I just booked my GLE. I got it with most options . Does anyone know generally how long do they take for delivery. My order paper says estimated delivery November 15 but my dealer says December. Is there any way for me to find out when it will be built

That sounds about right, from what i've seen and heard it can take about a few months from the time of ordering.

does mercedes not have an order tracking system?

Not that I know of but there is a roundabout way to track your order if it's been shipped.
-Go to Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics and click TRACK AND TRACE
-Enter the VIN in the CARGO ID field and then hit track.

If your vehicle is on a ship it should show you info about said ship. You can also try tracking the ship here once you know it's name: https://www.vesselfinder.com/

That's actually a smart move to make, actually something that the dealer should do as an extra measure.

It only works if the vehicle is already on a ship. If it's still in the factory parking lot you'll probably still have to go through the dealership.

The dealers are really not that helpful. I am stopped worrying about it. Will come when it's supposed to. No point obsessing over it. ......
Easier said that done. Lol.

That's what i discovered in the past, ends up that people on the forums are of far more help, even better if you can find a good dealer active on the forums.

You can start shopping around for accessories to take your mind off the shipping time.
Maybe some floor mats or a nice bobble head.

I don't know what is the usual shipping time for you guys that live in U.S./Canda , but in Europe, the usual delivery time, at least in Romania where i live, is 4 months.

I just ordered my car 2 weeks ago, and because of the panoramic roof, it will be made in the second part of January.

Then, after the car is produced, we need another 2 full months for delivery. In this time, they ship it to Germany, where they make some "adaptation" so that we can avoid an extra 10% tax for non-EU products, and then they make the final shippment to de final destination....

Very slow and painful procedure...
