2020.8.1

Think I'll start a thread about version 2020.8.1 since that seems to be off topic in this thread.

Pretty much EVERY firmware thread usually devolves into:

1. Someone rushing to make an "announcement" as an OP of a firmware thread, saying "I see new version XXXX on a car in Teslafi!!!!!"
2. Posts from others linking possible release notes / information from other sources
3. Posts from people complaining about not getting it
4. Posts from people saying " I got it! Me too! Me tooooooo!!!!"
5. Posts from people complaining about whatever new features / fixes are in the release notes, saying "Tesla needs to focus on XXX why are they wasting everyones time with YYYY??" I have wasted my money!!!!!!
6. More discussion about various features.
7. Thread dies down as more people get firmware.
8 New thread starts up repeating this cycle with whatever the next release is.

We are clearly in step 6-7 on this specific thread ;)
 
Oh didn’t know it wasn’t the latest. Well don’t get your hopes up then, not sure why I’m getting this update so late. It is taking a while to download.

If you recently had a HW2.5 -> FSD computer upgrade, the new computer likely had an older version of maps.
Happened to me last week. I used to have 2019.20 maps on HW2.5, then after the FSD upgrade, it showed 2019.6.
Service tech said I needed to complete the maps update back to 2019.20 before I could receive 2020.8.1, and he was right.

Dude you probably just solved all my issues. I did have a HW3 retrofit, and I’m on 2019.6. I got the 8.1 update somehow, and it failed downloading, then the 2019.20 navigation update popped up.

This is great information!
