Hesitation

My 2022 SL55 has slight hesitation when accelerating from a stop, around .5sec. or so. Anyone here experiencing the same issue?

Break-in done already right? Transmission temperature in the clear? Fuel is good?

Occasionally, from a standing start, I do experience a hesitation. It’s like the car lurches, then heaves, but within 2 seconds or less, normal handling is achieved.

You have the same problem as me, you need to go to the mercedes dealer to fix it, in my case, was a piece replacement and a software update and it fix the problem, i don´t remember the name of that piece.

Sorry but my english is not good

Does it do the same when using launch control? I have a slight hesitation (turbo lag?) when I fully accelerate from a stop but then the boost pressure kicks in and acceleration is just fine.

I timed my SL63 using the AMG track app: 0-100 kph in 3.50 seconds with launch control and 0-100 kph in 4.13 seconds without launch control.
