Constant touchscreen reboot was required for me too. My Delivery Specialist said it was an issue with USB sticks. I unplugged my micro USB stick that had music and the issue went away.

What is the disadvantage of allowing the 12V battery to cycle, assuming the car is plugged in? Thanks!

I never trickle charge my 12v and I'm at 2 yrs and 44,000 miles on the original 12v (energy saving on, stay connected off). Plus I've got a dashcam plugged in and always on.
So given that it looks like I'll have a minimum of 2 yrs on the battery and possibly quite a bit more (hope this post doesn't jinx me), is it really worth plugging in the 12v so much?

Sadly I don't have it yet -- still in the geofence penalty box
It shows up on teslalog: Tesla Logs - Global Version History

Nautilus apparently got 2.36.17, unfortunately it's still in the service center getting the pano roof fixed, so I have not seen it nor any release notes yet.

My last couple of SvC visits, I've been able to check-in on my MS via the Tesla App, and when new firmware was made available and charging done, I received iPhone notifications as usual. It's how I found e.g. that Tesla was keeping my MS inside the SvC each night, opposed to the dozens parked outside around the building. (I know that some SvC have been turning off Tesla App communication while at the SvC, and I can't blame them for doing that to prevent a potential safety issue should the owner remotely do something while the vehicle in being serviced. That could be really bad, e.g. remotely opening the pano while the tech was working on it, or the vehicle is up on the rack and someone pops the frunk/trunk.)

While I agree it's a safety issue, as of now, you can't pop the frunk/truck with the app. You can honk the horn, flash the lights and open the pano.

Same here, but my app notifications did not specify the release number, only that the installation or charging was complete. The mystery was bugging me until I picked up the car.
Last week they disconnected my dash cam, but not the app. I watched the trunk open/close, frunk open/close etc and thought a little flash of the lights might remind them I was waiting.......but didn't.
They really should disable all app functions.

Wouldn't any of the various logging tools that show installed firmware level still be active if the Tesla App can still get to the vehicle? I suspect so, and that is how one could discover a new installed release number after it's been installed at a SvC.Same here, but my app notifications did not specify the release number, only that the installation or charging was complete.

I would imagine closing the pano (which you can do from the app) would be more potentially dangerous than opening it. But I guess that depends on your point of view. Opening may be more dangerous to the pano itself, but closing could be more dangerous to the tech.
VisibleTesla and probably other third party apps can pickup the firmware version assuming the SvC didn't turn off Remote Access to the car as they have been doing lately.

If you can obtain a Tesla API token from any of the 3rd-party tracking tools, you can add it to the Firmware tracker and it will automatically detect when your firmware is updated and send you a PM on the forums when it does. But yes, 'remote access' still needs to be enabled for it to work. But this way you'd know the instant it happens (well, within the hour) and the new version installed.

They didn't turn off remote access, probably should have while they are working on the pano roof that can be actuated remotely. I checked late at night when it was unlikely that anyone was working on it. The roof was opened at 98%, doors closed.
