The TEG and the Powerwalls both have firmware that can be upgraded. I don’t know if each firmware release will upgrade both devices or not, though.
The firmware being discussed here is the software that runs on the TEG. There is rarely a need to update anything in the PWs themselves since they just take low level commands from the TEG.
V 1.50 & 1.50.1
Various bug fixes & improvements focusing on system performance, networking & alerts.

OK, now I have the notes for 1.50 and 1.50.1 the latter which I don't have yet:

Perhaps now we may see better alerts?

I'm also on 1.49.0. I don't think about the updates and see no reason to want to be on the latest.

Just got updated to 1.50.1 from 1.49.0. No obvious difference as far as I can tell. Probably will need to let it run for a few days to notice any improvement, if any.
I don't understand why Tesla always updates my PW during peak period. During the update, which took about 10 mins, PW is basically out of service and power is drawing from the grid. Not too concern since there was no high power draw during that time, and I don't have demand peak billing. But Tesla should schedule update during off-peak.

It actually has the release notes for all previous versions as well. (Basically it just loads the web page showing all release notes, not just the version you have.) In the past, it seemed they were always a version behind on the release notes. Hopefully they will remember to update the release notes in a timely matter going forward.
With that being said, it looks like I just got upgraded to 1.50.1 in the past hour .
My intraday chart shows that my Powerwalls stopped charging 10 minutes ago for that 5 minute interval and they are charging again. Now I'm on 1.50.1.
It’s interesting to me that the upgrades seem to be regularly happening in the middle of the day. It seems like it would be better to schedule the upgrades to happen at like 2 or 3AM. Not only would it be less noticeable then, but it also would be less likely to happen during a peak rate time.
Maybe they do them during the day so that if things break they will have someone on the clock available to immediately troubleshoot and fix things remotely.
Perhaps, but if the process is fragile enough that that is a concern then that worries me even more
