well don't get your hopes up. I noticed my car was downloading 2020.8.1, and an hour later, it cancelled, saying "your car is up to date".
Still on 2019.35.108. :-(
so i am still scheduled for an SC visit on 3/12. 120 miles away.

From the previous update 2020.4.1 to this took me 25 mins. Although the previous updates was a huge download and did take an hour. I’ve been noticing Performance MX get this update before long range or more P Mx owners are more eager to report.
In This update every command has worked on the first try, up until now on other updates I couldn’t get it to even work even after 3 try’s and maybe working on the 4th...but then I just avoid it all together after frustration

“Open the glovebox“ didn’t work for me with the new update, here in Canada.
Some other testing results:
“Report an error” now reports “an error”, but anything I tried that was more specific didn’t work, such as “Report an error with the voice commands”; just random error messages such as “This command is not available yet”.
“Turn on the steering wheel heat” continues to actually turn on the steering wheel heat but report back that it “Failed” to do so.
Other commands are working and a substantial improvement over all previous versions (and of course dramatically improved over the essentially non-functional 2020.4.1). Much, much faster and responsive.
And, most fun of all, “Navigate to the nearest chademo charger” worked perfectly. We use Chademo regularly here in B.C. and this is a most welcome feature. Thank you, Tesla!
Various screen shots attached show ng these results.

I noticed yesterday afternoon that update 2020.8.1 was downloading. It took a long time to download, but eventually got to 100%; then got stuck and was still stuck at "Downloading 2020.8.1 (100%)" this morning. I did a reboot and reconnect to WiFi; the download seemed to reset and has re-downloaded from about 50% a few times, but always get stuck at 100%. Hopefully it will sort itself out at some point!
Not sure if it's my car or what but the download (decent wifi), and install took longer then any other install I've done so far going back to 2016. The install seemed to stall at 30% for about 30 minutes but did finally finish, total install time was about an hour. Typically my installs are 20 minutes max.
I left the car plugged into a 72amp/208v HPWC throughout the process. During the meat of the install it stopped charging for a bit (expected), and when it finally completed and started to charge again it defaulted to a 20amp charge speed (unexpected). Unplugging the car for a moment and plugging it back in brought it back to it's standard 72amp charge rate.
As a X owner with auto doors turned on I'm LOVING the new bluetooth takeover settings.
I always thought the “open the glove box” command was a Model 3 feature. That command has never worked for me, and I assumed it’s because S&X owners have a physical glove box button and the 3 has the digital touch on the screen that is done with software.
After about 5 download retries and 3 install attempts it looks like I now have 2020.8.1 installed! Release notes state I have improved bluetooth, regen braking, and voice commands. Sept'19 X LR.

I got 8.1 last night and I'm on a plane jane MS 75D 2018. I did get 4.1 very late in the deployment so not sure if there is a real way to determine who gets it and when in the cycle they receive the update.
