Delayed software check

[trintrax]

After not having a software update since probably a month I looked into the software menu and realised that the last check for new software was on the 7th of Aug.
I remember times when the car checked for new software every time you brought up the menu. Then it went to once a day. But now 4 days???

This is not new.
I was in the same situation until yesterday 5pm, when I did a reboot (2 buttons) while driving slowly ( 5mph - traffic jam) and after reboot checked and performed the checked... no luck

Don’t worry about it, you’ll be notified when it’s your turn.

They release new software in batches and monitor it over time.

Mines been like that a while, it went for well over a week a few weeks ago.

I think the 2023.20 branch changed updates to ‘invitation only’ but a 2 button reset does force the car to have a peek for one.

 

[trintrax]

Good. So not a bug but rather improvement….

If you are on 2023.20.9, you are not being left behind. Happy to be notified when it’s our turn. Seems to occur when last minor version is released for that major version.

It is clearly a new behaviour of the software. Also on 20.9 here and as at yesterday had not been shown as updated since 2 Aug, but then did so and remains on 20.9

I think the oddity is that previously, you could check for new updates daily, and get a confirmation that the car was up to date as per the day you checked.

Just looked at mine and it says it's up to date as of 30 July, 11 days ago.

Not an issue, just a change in behaviour

I just noticed this and came to the forum to check.

I have noticed you have upgraded navigation data. I’m still on EU-2022.40-14215!!!

Based on my own experience it would seem the delay has been moved from one check per 24h to one per week. Anyone else?

Perhaps the more relevant question is, does it really matter?

Quite. But I think "Definitely" : overloading the mothership servers with requests and downloads as soon as a release is available is not sustainable as the fleet grows.

Tesla should introduce a premium subscription to get early update downloads ...

... my FSD car, which also has infotainment subscription etc. etc., always downloads updates anything up to a week later than my run-around car that has no extras at all. Surprised that they haven't prioritised FSD to be earlier in the queue for updates so it had some value!

My experience is that if you go into service mode and just let it sit for a minute or two you’ll get advised of any outstanding updates.

Yes it does, because the app won't necessarily notify or present you with an update when one is available and the only way to induce an update is to check for it in the car itself.

We get notification via email from TeslaFi and when we go in app it’s always showing there.

Interestingly, after having no update for like two months and the update check counter stuck for over a week I did a two tumb reboot and immediately got the update to 2023.26.7 from .20

I'd agree with this. My car has been sitting at 2023.20.9 with screen saying up to date as of 30 July. Did a reset just now and lo and behold it starts looking for and downloading 2023.26.7
I'm not sure when the car would have notified me...

 

[Zilla91]

Just done the same with my MY that was stuck on 20.9 and it's now up to 26.7 like the M3

This morning, unprompted. Email from TeslaFi then confirmed in app and scheduled (do not disturb) notifications. No need to solicit a download in the car. Looks like 2023.26.7 is simply ‘just rolling out’.
