Yes, MB does have some ground to make up. I think I'm done with MB's for some time if/when my current cars need to be replaced. Not because of their customer service as my local dealer is pretty good; rather, for quality issues and their 48v systems.

I'm not knowledgeable on the 48v system, other than what I googled. Can you tell me what difficulties you've experienced with it? Would be good to know for future purchase consideration. Thanks.

Tesla bought Mercedes' battery supplier and partner in research on 2019, including manufacturing facilities, which they refused to honor. They also stole the advanced battery technology and fired the founder.
So, yes, Mercedes played catch up that year because of Tesla.
Since then there hasn't been a proponderance of 48 volt issues. No more than other brands, as far as I can tell.

2020 cars had batteries that were sourced as a kind of emergency.
