Sensor issues will not let you drive without alarm

We've been waiting on this car for 6 months, since MB did not produce the GLE Coupe for model year 2020 and this is the first release with the new "glass dash" since the previous GLE Coupe models. Paid cash $100k out the door only to find a constant "Glitch" with front sensor that would not clear. Has been in the shop 3 times with technicians trying to determine the problem. It has literally been in the shop longer than in our possession. We are told that technicians in Germany are now involved. I was concerned that it was only this one car (LEMON) and the other 6 exact replicas on the lot were fine, but we were Finally told this is a manufacturing defect between the sensor and reflections from surrounding body panels/bumper issues. MB is working on a fix, but full recall expected in the future for this model. Very disappointed in this long-awaited series......
