Most MB dealers do not know this (and probably many owners as well). The car dealer can actually pre-order white stickers, based upon VIN number. They do not need to wait for plates. Dealers that are EV savvy, like Carson Toyota will have white stickers for their RAV4 customers at purchase time.
I made my dealership aware of this while I was waiting for the initial release of the car, and I received my stickers long before my plates arrived.
May I ask when you did this? My dealer tells me that as of March, they can't pre-order the stickers. The idea of a 12 week long wait honestly terrifies me, given that my FFE lease is just about up and the new car isn't here yet - then a further wait... So getting this expedited in any way would be great.
