Always a bit reluctant to perform updates while I'm away from home during the holidays... I know the risk of bricking the car is minimal but still..

2022 MYLR W/B/20s/Tow bar. Previously 2021 M3SR+
Not bricked but I once started an update which didn’t finish. This caused battery drain. I’d just left the car at work and travelled to London for a week. Within 1/2 day it was down 40%!!!!
I opened a service request and they remotely sorted it.
I was bricking it for a few hours…..
I've heard of updates failing & causing issues, but you can force a redownload in the service menu (or get tesla to do it remotely).
I don't know about before because I purchased my tesla model 3 Aug 2022, but last year's Xmas update came in very early December - i know beacuse I had planned a short trip to Belgium and was well chaffed to have Apple Music for my first road trip abroad.

Will probably be slightly delayed if they need to include a patch for this : Tesla recalls over 2 million vehicles to fix defective system that monitors drivers using Autopilot

It's not me that promised it would be out this week...Ehhh plenty of time before Christmas. If it hasn't arrived by then that would be the time to start grousing.
I'm in canada and I'm am still waiting to see that update. Do I need premium connectivity ?

My thought is that there’s never been an update with any feature that I absolutely had to have. The risk of bricking your car is small but the benefit of the update is even smaller so I just wait until I’m home to do it.

I hope the majority don’t have to suffer for the slim minority abusing AutoPilot over the years.
Wouldn’t make for a great Christmas update at all to have even more restrictions on UK roads.

If they replace the wheel nag entirely with cabin camera monitoring that's a win in my book.
But given the headlines that's probably not the direction it's headed too..
Tesla seems to be taking a lot of heat for this while other manufacturers aren't necessarily better, they're simply not in the eye of the storm.
I know a few Volvo drivers just putting a bottle of water between the steering spokes to trick the AP-equivalent into handsfree driving... something Tesla has prevented abuse for years already... yet you don't see a request for a recall/fix for that from the 'safest brand in the world'...
