Got mine this afternoon after the Denton Horse Country Tour. The backup lines, on their own, are worth it for me.

I finally got the notification this morning as well (p16225, s85 with Telsa parking sensor retrofit). I was not sure I'd get it since the last minor update didn't push a notification to my phone.

UPDATE
I was able to install 6.1 without any problem yesterday. The update button came on by itself in the afternoon. Now I am a happy camper.
What I learned:
Do not update while charging.
Do not update while driving (obvious).
Do not fiddle with the car while update (get in or unlock or ....)
Do not check the phone app while updating.
Just leave the car alone. Let it do its thing.
If any of those things interrupt the update, they're bugs. You should report to Tesla.
Had a chance yesterday to test out the trip part of the energy graph. It seems pretty accurate, but I was always below the original grey line showing the trip. After one downhill stretch I drove slowly to see if I could get above the line, and couldn't.
Later in the day, I punched in a destination 500 miles away. Got the warning that I needed to charge to make it there. I like the graph it showed going from green to yellow to red.
Also like the fact that the nav will show the return trip battery level.

Actually you would want to update each one independently, so if there are any problems with the Nav, you can isolate it to the software or the maps .. If you update both at the sane time, you loose that ability.

I was about to use this thread to complain I've not received the update when my phone vibrated and let me know a software update was ready. So, 01590 is on 6.1; only took about 30 minutes to complete.
Finally got 6.1 yesterday and installed today, I can confirm my guidelines are similar to these - they are useful only in showing the direction of the car's turn, not in determining the outside dimensions on the tires/car. The lines seem to roughly line-up in the middle of the tires, not with their outer edges as is usually the case with competing cars.
So, room for improvement at Tesla still.
Overall I'm very happy with the 6.1 update, though, as a first impression.
Classic MS 85, VIN P019xx. I seemed to get a boost in my rated range after upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1. I had done a full range charge and was sitting at 250 miles (almost 40k miles on my A pack battery) when I got the notice to upgrade, so I went ahead. Shortly thereafter, with no further charging, my rated range was now 265. I'm sure there's no change in actual range, but it was interesting to see 265 rated miles, which I hadn't seen for 2 years now.

VIN P15xxx -- Finally got the upgrade this afternoon while away from any wi-fi.
I saw a 1RM decrease in range after the update (72RM to 71RM-- could just be vampire draw).
So glad I got it today, since I start a 1200 mile return trip tomorrow and Tuesday.
Although I'm driving north into historical blizzard conditions in the NYC area. Could be an interesting couple of days.

Finally got the update last night and installed it this morning. Crazy how the parking assist lines work without the sensors. And not sure I like the new right click wheel behavior. Going to be interesting to see how the other features play out, especially the trip prediction as I plan to drive down LA next month.

Installed yesterday. Like the reverse lines, energy graph while navigating, and shuffle. Hate the new right scroll wheel behavior.

My 60 updated to 6.1 on Sat, but I didnt charge Sat night since I only drove 5 miles on Sat.
I did not see the temp range bump / reset with 6.0 or any earlier updates, so I wasn't expecting anything on 6.1 either. But I noticed something strange this morning:
- The alert email from VisibleTesla shows 175.6 RM at 90% when charging stopped about 4am -- similar to other recent charges.
- When I checked the Tesla App, it showed 179 RM with the battery bar slightly above 90% at about 5:15am
Weird. Will see what it does over the next few days...

Got my update notice last Friday at work (1/23) and updated at home. Nothing out of the ordinary (reports here being the basis for "ordinary"), except that I seem to be getting much better WiFi sensitivity/reception at home, post-update. Is this just subjective, or has anyone else noticed this?
