"Advanced" apparently does two things

I’ve got another two for you.....

1. True
2. Dat

It’s a Placebo.....I’m an early adopter....full bore.....and there are local SR folks who just got their cars who are getting 2019.20.1 and I’m on an early v16. Even got the so called “Early Release” email from Elon, I just laughed.

It’s as effective as the Close Door button in an elevator and possible the button on a crosswalk at a busy intersection.

I'm still hanging out in V16.2 land over here wondering when I get to update

If I was a Tesla software engineer I would just have the "advanced" setting introduce random interface glitches to make people think they were using a development build.

I think I already have that!

So, how long have you had the feature? If less than a minute month, then how do you know that it doesn’t work?

I'm still waiting for Electrek to write an article about this new, cool feature.

I've had it since 16.x like everyone else. I purchased FSD before March 2019. I enabled "Advanced" the instant I could. Evidence it doesn't work:

1. Several non-FSD purchasers have received it and posted here (shows that the email that went out stating FSD purchasers would get priority is not true)
2. People who have identical models in the same state - some got it; some still didn't (shows "vehicle config" and/or geographic region is also BS)
3. People who have had their cars a year now haven't been updated while some who got theirs in the last week or two have been updated.

The switch may eventually do something, but there is zero evidence that anything is different for the 16.x people who selected "Advanced" does anything at the moment. I assume that the vast majority of TeslaFi members would have Advanced selected. In that case, you would expect that the day 20.1 was released the majority of TeslaFi Model 3s would be updated. But it's not even close to that. 20.1 has been a very slow rollout.
