I'm fine if the reason for the delay is that they continue to ferret out bugs. I'd be far less pleased if the reason for the delay is that they're trying to complete pricing for options which they can always price for later without holding the rest of us at bay. Lots and lots of folks are now taking delivery with 5.6 installed and without any pricing plan for them.

Without a doubt, after a year plus on this forum, this is the most whacky conspiracy theory I've heard. Lemme get it straight... Tesla is holding up rollout of the release that enables wifi connectivity which enables 3g plan revenue in order to what? Announce coming revenue from 3g plan in early November? Yikes. Somebody missed their medication today?

It apparently was lost on you, but I was commenting on what someone else had speculated about the delay. I myself was expressing doubt that the reason for the delay was because Tesla needed to work out any pricing issues, and that is why I said I'd be annoyed if *that* were the reason for the delay. The only reasonable interpretation of what I wrote was that I was dubious that pricing issues would have had anything to do with the delay, especially since new deliveries and cars with 5.0 were getting the upgrade to 5.6. Take a look at my earlier post #625 in this thread if you don't believe that.

But I'm apparently being accused of fostering a conspiracy theory? :rolleyes: Now who's the one who needs medication? LOL! :biggrin:

I'm not sure this is what they're talking about but this is the first time it's dawned on me...

One potential obstacle to updating the firmware (on by definition "older" vehicles) is that any functionality that "reacts" to the age of the vehicle (since delivery) affects older cars but doesn't affect newer cars. So, for example, if they finally got around to adding a "no Slacker after N months" implementation in 5.x then they would want/need to make sure that they work out the bugs before upgrading any car older than N months. Brand new cars would be likely be completed unaffected, and thus safer to blindly move to newer firmware.

I doubt this is the case. My car is a new one and I haven't seen any signs of 5.0 or 5.6. I picked mine up at the factory and other cars being delivered that day had 5.0 installed and they couldn't give me any good reason that mine didn't have 5.0 as well. The Delivery Specialist could only say that some had 4.5 and some had 5.0 and they weren't really sure why. I picked mine up the first day it was available to be picked up as well, so it wasn't like it had been sitting for a week after production finished.

My P85 Vin 177XX was delivered Aug 30th with 5.0 installed the night before. Had the GPS spinning/lost issue just received 5.6 OTA update yesterday after calling Tesla ownership because local Service Center couldn't give me an ETA when I would receive fix. GPS works correctly now, so I'm glad 5.6 fixed the issue.

I just brought mine into the service center today for winter tires. Just got it back with Firmware 5.6. It's out as of today! The wait is finally over. Vampire drain was bugging me and it doesn't take long at all to boot up. The newest version allows you to decide whether or not you want the Sleep mode or not so you get to choose! Best of both worlds.

Hey CantaMia Ron,

Won't be long now. I just got it and my car was delivered last April.

I got the update to 4.5 almost 9 weeks after the first reported OTA update. It was frustrating because by that time, people were already talking about 5.0 in European cars... We're forever cursed with firmware update anxiety.

Nice to see the SCs are being allowed to roll out the 5.6 and that it has a choice about how to handle power management: Either ' sleep' mode or an 'instant on' mode. Should please everyone. Nice job TM!:smile:

Mod Note: clearly the OTA roll-out of v5.6 has started* so we're unsticking this thread.

(*Firmware v5.0 was an interim version that was received by a limited number of owners.)
