2021 GLE purchase question

I’m about to make a purchase on a 2021 CPO GLE450 almost fully loaded, BUT I just realized this is a COVID production year. Anything I should be on the look out for? I’m trading our 2020 GLE350 in for more power.

Except for the fact that every one may have been wearing masks, I don’t see the relevance.

I think the issue with cars of that era was the fact that some options/features weren’t available due to parts supply. Does the vehicle have everything you expect it to? I would look at the maintenance records for evidence of recurring problems such as 48v battery issues.

Was it during the chip shortage, HERMES is retrofitted right?
