Our 2nd Model S (11/14) P85D just did the same thing as the first one. Both AP1 & both plugged in so I don't think the plugged/unplugged state has anything to do with it.

Mines AP2 so I don't think that matters either.
Probably another MCU1 thing. Glad we can update to MCU2 like Musk has said many times.

Just happened to me. 80% on the software update and the car alarm went off. Glad I was still awake or I would have been pretty freaked out here in crime capital San Francisco.
Currently installing 2019.32.12.1. At least, that is what the phone says is the latest version the car has. BUT -- I had set the update to start at 2 AM (having not paid attention to this post about the risk of the alarm going off -- my bad) but at 7 Am the phone says it is 60% complete and still installing. Uh oh. The car is some distance away from my condo in a parking lot, and i did not hear the alarm if indeed it went off.
But after 5 hours -- should I be worried about the long delay?
Can I interrupt it? First time in 4+ years I have had any issue with the installation of a software update. (2015 Model S 70D, AP1 obviously...) I need the car in about 3 hours....

I went out to the car to see what was happening first hand. The car unlocked and I was able to unplug the charging cable. So, no problem there. Getting in, all I saw on the screen was car off. I put my foot on the brake which fired up the instrument cluster, showing the two side panels, the speed, they cartoon of the car, temperature and battery charge. The center screen flashed the Tesla symbol, and it has continued to do so intermittently for the 10 to 15 minutes I have sat here. I can't tell whether or not my putting my foot on the brake did anything. Probably not. Given that the center screen is flashing on and off, I guess something is happening and I should leave it alone. I have not tried putting it into gear or driving. Still seems like it's taking inordinately long.
As of 2 hours after my initial post, the phone still reports 60%...getting concerned it will not finish.

I thought the blinking headlights were part of a larger connected mystery. This must be the exciting Part 2!!! It seems to be escalating. I wonder what is next?
Either that or Tesla's software engineers are not as competent as we'd like them to be.

Just happened to me for the first time. 21015 70D AP1. Googled it and found this thread...
For sure for the first time last night (10/18/2019) on our S 75 late 2016 HW 2.0- alarm went off during latest update. The car was plugged in, not on Wifi. Just hit the unlock button on the key fob and it stopped. Nobody had tampered with the car.
ALSO earlier into the same update got a “charging interrupted” message- once update was done it was charging fine.

Just got another incremental update (2019.32.12.3 1b89dd1) a few days ago to both cars and I manually activated them at night earlier in the evening anticipating a possible alarm trigger. Thankfully, neither car had that issue so maybe they addressed that bug from the previous versions. Hopefully.

Yep, same here, no alarm on 12.3. I'm hoping the problem doesn't come back in subsequent releases.

Yes, it was a first middle of the day, at work, the update was almost done and my first alarm event came across my phone. I went out and sure enough the obvious, NOTHING, I let it finish wailing and the update finished all good. 2016 75D. Since then I have gotten the two bug fix updates also to 2019.32.12.3 now as of yesterdays last update.
