Multicontour Massage Seat could be removed from your built
There is global shortage from the massage seat suppler, initially MB removed all the massage seats from all the other models and trying to keep the massage seats with all new 2021 S class. However, there is a chance they will remove the massage seats from the S class as well by not holding the production. Please call your dealer so you do get any surprise.

Atleast, for now, the car is still in production. There is a worldwide shortage of computer chips that go into cars and electronics. Around the world this is causing production of cars to be halted and restarted. Crazy world!

No more MB:(
Good luck. Early models of a massively tech'd out car like this will have issues.

I would love to know what the R&D/testing budget is of the 223, or how many 'millions of miles' it incurred during testing prior to series production.
Another example was the 204 when that was launched. Didn't it go through like 5 million miles of testing or whatever? Sure, not a technologically crazy car, but at the time, Mercedes took testing really seriously, and it showed from a reliability perspective, first year or not.
If you boil down the S class (223) to the core and disregard the large iPad screens and the software related bugs, you're not really dealing with a technologically advanced car (to the point where it's an anomaly). 48V mild hybridization, rear wheel steering are things that have been on the market a few years now. (same with pop out door handles).

That's a gross overgeneralization. Several first year model cars that are highly tech'd out don't have teething issues like this. It's sort of sad MB owners have come to expect this. I do not recall the W222 having issues like this, nor the 221. The 220 (yes, but that was to be expected given the cost reductions during that decade).

Not really a review. I suggest to wait for actual members here to post their real-life experiences, good and bad. Just like they do in Audi forums...
