I year report on 2021 GLE 450
I willl have owned the car since May 3/21.
I just completed a 7000 mile winter return trip to AZ . I didn't have one issue with the car at all, in fact I haven't even been to the dealer for anything at all since I picked the car up. It has been flawless.
On the highway, it is a dream to drive, smooth, engine is like silk, quiet and just generally a pleasure to drive. I really like the Nav system. Way better than the old command system. Routes are corrected automatically if I change the route just by going a different way.
I have to say, from time to time I place a small trickle charger on the posts under the hood by my choice not suggested by the dealer. Just a little preventative maintenance on my part.

I've been asking about this at dealerships, and they agree that the newer keys ('20+?) wake up the car, and keep it awake.
As a test last weekend, I left my key in the garage for two days, and as I was working out there, I heard continual clicking from the car. I took the key away for a day, and the car wasn't clicking the next day.
I also tried the double click on the Lock button, but the clicking continued.
100' isn't cast in stone - just out of range.
