Not sure if anybody posted about the tesla conference call this evening. Elon said they're rolling out autopilot software updates to their public trial candidates on August 15th. And then depending on the results they could roll it out to everybody 1-2 months after that.
In other words, keep your hands on the wheel until 2016.
Newbie here. I got 2.5.21 last night.
Make sure you reset both computers
This quick rollout suggests it's the security patch for what's being announced Friday at DefCon.

Side note: no updates on either car here for a while. P85D is still on .251
It would surprise me if your P85D doesn't get the update by the weekend, but I'm not particularly surprised yet.
P85 installed last night, P85D just got the notification.
Everyone is asking why they are pushing this latest patch out so fast. I think this may have to do with it.

Assuming it's 2.5.21 as per this article linked in another thread: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/08/06/us-tesla-motors-hacking-idUKKCN0QB1AN20150806
Tesla distributed a patch to every Model S on the road on Wednesday.
Pretty clear that 2.5.21 was about the security fixes.

The fact that we all seemed to get 2.5.21 so rapidly makes me wonder why other updates seem to take so long to roll out across all users.
We all received that firmware that changed the ride height of the vehicle pretty much right away. Tesla can certainly turn up the taps and get firmware pushed out quickly. However, there is likely a risk for doing so and this one was worth the risk apparently. Issues like this gets the fleet updated pretty quickly, so if you're really behind, thank the security researchers.
Essentially this. Tesla likely staggers most rollouts because they know there are wide variations in the components in the fleet and don't want to overwhelm Engineering if a bug gets found in a new deployment. That said, sometime the security or severity of what is changing warrant pushing it out ASAP.

In particular, the path that the team used to achieve root (superuser) privileges on the infotainment system has been closed off at several different points.” She also noted that the effects of some other vulnerabilities have been mitigated. “In particular, the browser has been further isolated from the rest of the infotainment system using several different layered methods.”
and it appears the original demonstration was based on physical access, though the seriously out-dated webkit in the seriously out-dated browser appeared to have opened some addition attack vectors:
