WTH Tesla???
WTH Tesla???
It just happened to me tonight. Will be sending in a service request. I have the 2020 M3 SR+ with no other options.

This is how staged rollouts work. There is nothing wrong with your car. Please don't waste the time of your local Tesla Service Center.
FYI, I also just downloaded 2020.20.17 two hours ago on my 2018 Model 3 LR AWD.

Here is my elevation graph of my trip. As you can see there were several gentle downhills in that.

They need to just allow you to select whichever version of software you want from a drop-down selection on the software update screen in-car and browse the changelog and install instead of 'staging updates'. They also need to start delivering updates via LTE again at least for those who purchased 'premium connectivity' which I noticed they just dropped from the 'upgrades' page in app. Guess their plan is to hope you forget you were promised the premium connectivity features for life if you purchased your car before the cut-off date on that feature.

I have no interest in downloading an update over cell signal. Holy crap that’d take forever in my area. AT&T isn’t great everywhere and home wifi will download faster anyways. I’ve never installed an update while out and about because sometimes they take 20mins and other times it’s over an hour. Nope not chancing getting home on time for an update

Yawn, Emergency updates are sent out via LTE when necessary. Why should Tesla waste cellular bandwidth on getting you a new version of stardust valley?
Let's see. 730,000 cars X 800mb update. That's 556 Terrabytes of data per update.
Navigation updates are even worse. 730,000 cars x 2GB update. 1,425 TB of data.
I think it's a prudent cost saving measure to not send every update over LTE.
Right. Where the gentle downhills occur there is no regen (negative kw). You need about a 4% grade at 70 to 75 mph for regen to kick in. Anything less than 4% just reduces the amount of power needed from the motors to maintain that speed.
Same car. Same update. I'm certainly not calling a Ranger but I wonder why on Earth it pushed to that version? lol

I'm not interested in prudent cost savings when it was an advertised feature when I bought the car. I have no access to wifi in my condo parking structure yet LTE reaches just fine. I bought into 'premium connectivity' when it was the feature that brought me updates and they slowly just silently stripped it away and kept telling me i needed to somehow just get wifi in my garage. Bunch of pretentious asses if you ask me.

Two things I can verify they fixed in this minor update are wifi/bluetooth connection stability and the in-car usb formatter which now works for my Samsung T5 SSD which wasn't enabled in the previous releases.
Obviously YMMV. That said I use my iPhone hotspot (T-Mobile) to download whenever I am disinclined to camp beside somewhere with a good wi-fi choice since I cannot have wi-fi in my communal garage. My downloads have usually been quite fast. 2020-The subject update 24.6.4 took me roughly 10 minutes to download and about the same time to install. I left the hotspot on during the installation although that probably really wasn't necessary.
IME using hotspots in numerous situations is that if you have a strong cellular signal and a decent phone the speed and reliability usually is very good. Without question that was not true two years ago. For anybody who has a 5G mobile device, even the poorest 5G will be almost as fast as most traditional wifi. I have zero personal 5G experience but plan to do so with my next phone upgrade.
That is so dangerous. Also how is not regening more "efficient" than regen power in to your batteries.
