17.40.1
And 12 people so far on TeslaFi, this may get a larger push since it enables AEB. (One copy must have had to be installed twice.. there are 13 installed counting the per day totals, but only 12 current copies...)

If anyone that gets 17.40.1 had the Homelink issues before (fails after one or several uses, needs reboot to reset), can you test to see if the new release fixes that? Tesla said that that issue would be fixed 'on a future release' but we're hoping it got into this one!
I did have the HomeLink issue yesterday on .38.4 and it wasn't working at all today (no indication of sending signal). I did not debug it as I was notified of the 40.1 update, so I went ahead and upgraded instead. So far, it is working again, but I only tested it in the garage a couple of times. I have not yet tested if the distance setting is working, though I did set mine for a shorter distance as I think the default 100' is too far for the strength of their HomeLink transmitter and it misses the signal a lot of time. Hopefully the shorter distance will be more consistent, at the cost of having to wait a bit longer for the door to fully open...
I’ve gotta admit that the keep climate on function could definitely be useful. Every now and then I’ll run into a store while one or more people wait in the car. In the past I would leave the car, then use the app to turn the climate control back on, but this sounds must easier. Unfortunately my car was just upgraded to .38 while it was in for service last week, so I probably have a while to wait before I’ll see this feature

I don't know what criteria Tesla uses, but since I got my car in mid September, I've been upgraded from .34 to .36, .38, 38.4, and now 40.1 in less than 4 weeks! I did call in a frozen GPS problem in the first week, and they said they sent a reset but maybe they also put me on some list in order to get me upgraded GPS sw.
In any event, I think since this addresses re-enabling AEB for AP 2.5 cars, it will likely be pushed out quickly for at least those recent cars.
How about a built in climate control scheduler? The smart preconditioning is not very smart. How about just let me put in the times I want my car to be heated or cooled?
The way software update cycles work mean that it can take much longer than one might expect to get features added to software. Each version of the software must undergo several levels of testing before it is released and usually multiple versions are being worked on at once. They don’t release .40 and then start the work on .42, but instead they have likely been working on .42 for several weeks already and the features and bug fixes that will go into .42 were decided well development even started.
Even if they decided to add that feature the minute Elon tweeted about it (and of course there is no guarantee of that) it would likely be weeks or even months before it actually shows up in a new release.
I think we need to wait until Monday to get some sort of run rate/real numbers... remember, it's not reported on either ev-fw or TeslaFi until it's actually downloaded, installed, and rebooted, and some of those aren't then auto-reported. That is more likely at night or on the weekend. I agree it's not the flood you'd expect for something at least aimed at all the AP2.5 cars if not everyone for new features.

I go my car on 9/28. Same day update from 36 to 38. I did not get the second 38 update. I just got 40 a couple of hours ago. It said that it could take up to 1 hour 40 minutes (same thing for 38) but it was done much faster then that. I think I check in < 30 minutes but not sure. I am on WiFi in my garage. I did report the GPS problem but it only happened the 1 day.
Unfortunately I spoke too soon. After working a couple of times, the HomeLink would stop transmitting again (no signal icon). Only a reboot makes it work again, for a while. It has recurred twice already today, so the problem still exists and seems to have begun from 38.4
