Almost all firmware downloads stopped.

[GPinzone]

Looking at TeslaFi on 5/4/20, it seems the downloads have slowed down to a crawl. Firmware was being blasted out on 5/1 and it's slowed down dramatically. Maybe there's a big bug that's in all of the latest firmwares?

...or maybe, due to coronavirus restrictions, Tesla isn't working as hard on getting out updates. Just a thought.

Or maybe, they batch groups - so Tesla started pushing to the first group on 5/1 - but not everybody clicked install that day - some upgraded over the following two days. Then, Tesla doesn't push it to the next group until they do some sanity checks. They don't do that over the weekend.....
So you'll see another burst of upgrades in a day or two when Tesla pushes the next group.

have you tried to friend them on facebook

Software teams are largely quite productive working from home. My dev team has actually become more productive!

Why would download of existing firmware be affected by the coronavirus? It's not like they need someone to push a button to send each one out individually.

I just want to get off of 2020.8.2. The car has been sitting in the garage on wifi for 8 weeks with occasional trips. It should have grabbed the latest by now.

 

[one2many]

have you tried to push the advanced button 10 times

you should Hard reboot the car. Two steering wheel buttons and foot on brake. Then it will recheck in for firmware.

Go into the mobile app, click request service and then select "Software" and "Update". There's most likely a glitch holding you back, since currently only 0.4% of Tesla drivers have that old version (per TeslaFi)

Also, going by past records, we should see a larger software push this afternoon or tomorrow. If you already have 2020.12.6 - no update for you yet.

 

[LACALawyer]

They don't have enough face masks for each update...

 

[smatthew]

And the software push started again this afternoon at 2:30 PST. This time 2020.12.6 is even getting upgraded.

Maybe they want to get some data back on the new firmware so they know this one is stable before moving on to the next, but they get very little back because everyone is staying at home...

I got 2 firmware updates in the last 7 weeks... I drove it twice about 5 miles total. Normally I drove about 4000 miles in 7 weeks.

a big bug that's in all of the latest firmwares

With a dataset of a single week we jump straight to "big bug" as the cause.
Thats true pessimism

 

[Drax]

I got 2020.12.11.1 today, so...?

 

[TREEGUY]

2020.12.11.1 is over 1,000 installs today per Teslafi.

 

[rotus8]

I just installed 12.11.1. No new release notes.

Hard reboot would be unplugging the plug under the rear passenger seat along with the 12v battery.

I would try plug in the USB game controller, go to the software page and press the following commands:
Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A
