14' C250 Sport Hesitates to crank

I've tried everything. This car is still under factory warranty.

More often than not I get in my car and it takes about three to four cranks to actually get it started. I'm not saying I turned the key 3-4 times I'm saying I start the car and it's just turning over for an abnormal amount of time. I'm going to try to attach a video. Dealership says fuel injectors are good and fuel pressure is good. I've ran Mercedes-Benz fuel additive in the gas tank and ran over 3 full tanks of shell 93 octane in this car.

Any ideas. Aparently if the car doesn't have any codes then the dealer doesn't have anything to fix and they keep telling me that they can't reproduce the problem on their end.

Did this just start happening? This is almost certainly to do with fuel/air delivery, not a battery. The cranking is strong.

It is a little long but does not sound too excessive, which is why I ask if it just started.

Follow up: it ended up being a fuel filter mid way under car. If this ever happens have it checked lol
