Slim Pickings at the dealer

Today my wife and I took her 2020 GLE 450 in for the first A Service. While there, I took the opportunity to walk around the showroom and my word, there were slim pickings. Other than an ordered GLE 63s ready for pickup, there was hardly anything there. Maybe two GLE 350s, no GLE450s, one GLS 450 (not many options on it), a GLA, GLB, GLC and an E350. Last time we were there, pre-covid, they had a couple of Maybachs, a GTR and some S-series sedans. I guess the chip shortage is taking its toll on Mercedes inventory.

2024 E450 AT Wagon, 2024 EQS450+ / Had: 2021 E350, 2019 E300, 2021 + 20 GLE350, 2019 E450 Wagon(s)
Decent amount at my dealer still when I was there for service - but very few desirable configurations. I was trying to trade my 2020 GLE for a 2021 and they have 17 in stock - but only two non-AMG with the Premium / Lighting / Driver Assist combo that is a requirement for me. (And one is being driven by a dealer principal so not for sale... BAC, you know that story already!!)
