EQS Sedan
I installed it yesterday when I went out to lunch on our EQS sedan. Other than getting a 'Successfully Installed' message on the screen and in My Mercedes, I haven't seen or felt anything different. My thought was that maybe the car raised a bit when you pressed the button to give you the 'parking view' on your screen.

23' EQS AMG
I received no updates. However, I've noticed my AR HUD navigation is uber nice now with the ability to show me which lane I should be in. The AMG graphics have also improved with transparent image of the vehicle when transitioning from one menu to another. Of course, I always het those holiday decors on my screen as well. MB does these updates, but they don't notify me. The changes are very subtle. These changes also sometimes mess up my profile setting too. For example, my half round button is set for sound and suspension. When there are some kind of OTA updates, my buttons change to something else. Now when I do navigation, there are a flood of information on the AR HUD.

TBH, I don't feel anything different today. car doesn't raise during or after parking
edit, actually, I just recall that tonight when I drive into in n out park space, there was a parking curb in front. front camera 1st pick up as red but when I got closer (can still see in the camera, not went into blend spot), somehow it clears.
maybe just the sensor can't pick it up anymore but next time I will pay more attention see suspension raises or not.

Don’t like the ride quality
I personally don’t like the updated ride quality. The ride quality before on comfort was nice, soft and supple and now it feels stiffer imo even on comfort. The steering also has changed and doesn’t feel as easy when you move the steering wheel. You also don’t feel as planted when you are making a corner. Before the suspension would keep your body centered and there was a minimal about of lean; now it feels like you’re slightly moving out of your seat. The things that it did fix is when you go over a slight dip or speed bump, the car doesn’t bottom out like before. I’m going to call the dealership and see if they downgrade the software update. This is kind of ridiculous because this car is supposed to be all about comfort. If I wanted a stiffer vehicle, I would have purchased a BMW.

Interesting, but to be sure I understand correctly, are you saying your range has dropped 8-10% or that it has INCREASED 8-10%? The way you wrote it, it sounds like the latter, which would certainly be happiness.

I did receive the OTA update yesterday. I do see a couple subtle changes when I press the EQ symbol on the upper left of the main screen. I sure hope you’re right about the range increases by 8-10%. That would be awesome. I haven’t tested it yet.
This morning I received a message from MB that my services were updated and that I can view them on the “Overview”. I don’t anything that says “Overview” on the app.

Just got updated…terrible update
The car is stiff af now. It doesn’t feel buttery smooth and soft over the road anymore like I originally brought it for. Now it feels like any other cheap EV…before at least the ride gave it a premium feel. Also, turning the steering wheel is much stiffer now. This is bad…the drive is not pleasant at all now because I’m using more effort to steer. Completely ruined the experience of the car. I’m going to a dealer THIS WEEKEND to see if they can revert the update because this is bad. Mercedes please revert the changes back to the previous ride quality. PLEASE, begging you.

actually I think the ride and handling is a step closer to Porsche Taycan. which I like it a lot. it is different kind of stiffness compare to cheap cars.
but I think the better way for mercedes is to let customer has ability to choose stiffness for each of their own

I received this notification/message on my iPhone this morning and didn't read it fully and carefully before it disappeared. So, I'm glad you mentioned here. It was something about "services" for sure. I spent about 15 minutes looking under every stone and could not find anything relevant. I have no idea what or where "Overview" is either. Hopefully somebody will discover it and post!

I'm not a fan of the stiff ride at all. It's such a downgrade in experience. I'm not happy
