Firmware 6.2 poll to say when you got it

I'm also seeing a lot of new users (TMC handles) signing up for the first time to report .236.

Thank you, Hank.I forget that pin the second after entering it.
The funny thing is that I chose to go with "PIN" instead of "password" in order to make it easier to remember, therefore requiring no (or less) PIN/password resets because I don't have an email address. But I've found that even that way, many people still forget their PINs. Luckily today, I was able to find a way to programmatically send PMs through the forum only using TMC handle.
BTW, on the Tracker signup form, people can use a full-blown password if they want, it will be accepted just the same as a PIN. "PIN" was just a suggestive label.

Generic question here as new owner. Is there a way to trigger a software check, say if you are on wifi, to ensure you have the latest version? Or is it a mystery to when it becomes available for specific cars?

There is no way to trigger or force an update. We're at Tesla's mercy.
You can always see the version of the firmware your car has by pressing the Tesla T at the top of the 17 inch display.
Nice, so there's hope for me yet... was wondering when us single motor guys were going to get this.

It's been a month for me now, on .188... curious if you are going to get 236 or 238... just noticed that there is one posted for .238

I'm away from my car right now (driving a crappy ICE) but my car has identified two updates. I'm trying to get someone to identify if the car updated one or both of these updates before I can put anything into the tracker. The most recent update notified me on the 30th so presumably .238. The previous one was the 28th (I think). I'm not sure if the update re-notifies if ignored the first time.

Ok thanks.. I posted that when both 236 and 238 reports were coming in, and I just wanted to confirm those three 238 entries weren't in error. We've since learned they were real.

Updated the firmware tracker already; got .245 at the Burlingame service center yesterday. Was in for tire rotation but, was in a hurry so, the advisor pushed the firmware to the car but, didn't install it. I did it later last night at home.

Things seem to have quieted down on the firmware upgrade front. I just checked the tracker and only a handful of upgrades have been reported in the last week or so.
Also, it seems .245 hasn't been widely distributed. I've been on .236 for almost a month now, didn't even get .238 or .239 - I'm assuming bug fixes in the last few releases haven't been important enough to distribute to everyone?

I've had that for a long time. And then last night I got a software update notification. The new build starts installing moments from now. I assume it's .239?
UPDATE: Interesting. Software loading now. Car making all sorts of clicking sounds in the garage.
UPDATE 2: Even more interesting. Out of curiosity I plugged the HPWC charger into the car while the software was updating. I noticed the 17" screen was black, and the dashboard screen said "Software Update Required - Contact Tesla Service". Then the car started charging even though I have it set to only charge at 4am. The 17" screen then booted up, big T logo, then the normal display. I stopped the charging and the error warnings went away, and the Release Notes for .239 appeared.

It seems that .245 has mostly been installed at the SC (or during a ranger visit). We have one single report of a WiFi install and I wonder what the story is there.
Also, this morning we got the first report of .249, also installed at the SC. As it happens, my P85D is at the SC (for the fourth time in the three months that I have owned it - it's like driving a 1984 Jaguar) and the phone app notified my yesterday evening that a new firmware version was available... I hope to get the car back today (with a new front motor and half a dozen other issues addressed - I'm an optimist) and we'll see which version I got...
