Driver Assistance Package Lite actual contents 2023
Ok, my contact person at MBUSA HQ got back to me after two weeks of digging and found out what will be included in 2023 EQBs Driver Assistance Package Lite ($1300 code DF5 on data card). They will come with all 10 features advertised on mbusa.com, whether those individual features are itemized on the spec sheet or not. The only features of the original Drivers Assistance Package that will be missing in the 2023 Lite package are the 2 PRE SAFE features. So, yay! What a relief.
She also said that even if you ordered a third row, and ordered the all season rubber floor mats, you will only get 2 rows of the mats. Not 3, like it says on mbusa.com.
And she clarified that for all 2023 EQBs, ventilated seats are NOT available, but heated seats are. Make sure your EQB order (if it hasn't been built) has just heated seats listed on the data card. My EQB and a few other people on here that opted for heated/ventilated seats didn't get either on their build.
Hopefully this is helpful to anyone waiting for their 2023 EQB!

I hope you get your heated seats. I agree it’s not fair and communication with the supplier is a mess for these cars.
My dealer offered to pay for a third party to install heated seats when my EQB arrived without them. But one thing I’ve realized since is that the EQB’s “pre-climate control” feature would warm your seats for you as part of the pre-climate control—but probably only if they were factory installed. And you can save a lot of battery range by using seat heaters more than air to warm you up.
Keep us posted on how it turns out for you.

Have your dealer email you the data card. If the optional heated seats are not listed, they are not installed. You don't need to wait for the car to arrive to know what's going on and it can help avoid surprise aggravation at delivery.
