Yes, that is possible. You should have seen the clock icon at the top of the screen when you left the service center if that was the case. They've done that before for me when I've been waiting for the car. Instead of pushing and running the upgrade, they just push the software be leave it for me to install when I get home.
Current status of Firmware 6.0 ?

My car stays plugged in overnight and I have received a few OTA updates while it is plugged in and charging.
The update downloads over 3g/wifi whenever Tesla says your car can receive the update.

My battery coolant pump threw a service error which Tesla says is only a software communication issue between pump and computer, nothing physically wrong with pump or function. Service said that they wanted to wait a week before scheduling a replacement because they were told by Engineering that a software update was expected in the coming week to address the pump communication issue.
Perhaps 6.0 is closer than we expect? Or maybe just 5.13.

In order for 6.0 to work properly with new features, the app needs to be updated. I would monitor the update of the tesla app and when that happens, the 6.0 roll-outs should happen right after...
So I guess the beta testers don't get to test the new app functionality? The android app could be side loaded I guess but not the iOS one...
The Play Store offers beta and alpha channels so that developers can roll out new versions to a small number of users that are enrolled in the beta. I do this all the time.
iOS developers can distribute there beta app a number of ways. They can provide the .ipa file to user and the user can add app through iTunes.

there was a "patch" to 5.12 that fixed something on the original 5.12. so if you had the original 5.12, i believe that second patch (i don't have the version # in front of me) was to fix some serious bugs that were causing the screen to black out, randomly reboot, or not turn on at all. in my case, the original 5.12 somehow wouldn't start my 17" screen but everything else was "on". that update was released within two weeks of the original i believe.
we were backing out of garage, in a hurry to get to airport and screen never came on. i tried to reboot, nothing. so we pulled it back into the garage and got out and took the benz because we couldn't control most functions. when i got back after dropping off my husband, the car was STILL running and had been running for 90 minutes. i thought it would shut down once i left the seat and no key was present, but i guess not. there was a massive condensation puddle from the AC running that long. i got back in and tried to reboot, do a bunch of things, nothing worked. long story short, i called san diego SC and they sent a ranger out to shut it down and install the patch to 5.12 which had just been released hours before my mishap. so far so good with the newer 5.12.

I can confirm @wamochi. Had 5.12 installed at my last service 10-July and as I was picking up the car service advisor told me "oh there will be an update for you to install when you get home" and it was another version of 5.12 that fixed some bug.
Waiting for 6.0 like everybody else.....

Just got 5.12 during my annual service last week. The service advisor said that 6.0 was perhaps two weeks away from general release. I don't know how reliable that info is, but thought it was worth mentioning.

Updates, OTA or WiFi, are released to the car based on tire alignment. In other words all four tires would be parked with the all valve stems in the same position.
Check....all four aligned....waiting....waiting..................................................waiting

If it isn't phases of the moon and voodoo what am I supposed to do with all of these chicken entrails?!
Mine is in for 12 month checkup today. I can always hope Tesla will release 6.0 before the end of the day
