Does tapping "Advanced" in software update actually do something?

[WilliamG]

Every time you go to that screen at all it "checks" (and says so if you look at it)

What is happening is while it's doing that (since it takes a few seconds) people are tapping on the button and then when it finds an update (from its original check that began when you went to the screen) people are thinking the tapping on buttons did something.

It doesn't.

Correct.

What works for me everytime is opening the right rear door, then sitting in the driver seat and rolling down the window, then turning the steering wheel 2 turns to the left and then right 3 turns, then opening and closing the trunk 4 times, then lifting the front left corner with a bottlejack 2" off the ground, and then disconnecting and reconnecting the main battery 5 times, and then calling my brother in Louisiana, then having a steak with salad with filtered water to drink, and then pressing Advanced only 1 time. Pressing it 2 times completely messes everything up!

You left out chanting at an Elon effigy.

Correct.

That's kinda what I thought was happening but thought I'd ask anyway.

Allows you to add finger prints to screen

There is no difference at this point. Just going to the screen triggers an update check. If Tesla as marked an update for your car you’ll get it.

Hitting the "Advanced" button five times is as effective in initiating a software update as pressing the "Door Close" button on an elevator to force the doors to close immediately.

Drat. I don't have a brother, let alone in Louisiana. I do have a daughter in Washington State though.

If it doesn’t work for you, that’s definitely why.

No other possible explanation.
