I'm still waiting for mine but I got an email from TeslaFi.com at 3.00 AM this morning alerting me that cars are now getting a newer version of 8.0 so it appears the bug was fixed and the rollout resumed.
"Software version 2.36.108 was just detected on a Tesla model S70D. The highest previous version was 2.36.106. You were alerted per your settings on TeslaFi.com."

I got the notification yesterday morning while on wifi, but scheduled the install for later in the morning while I was at work via 3g. So technically installed while on 3g.
I got mine (in the Dallas TX area) this morning and I made sure the car was connected to WIFI before I went to bed.

I was on my home WiFi when I just received my update this morning at ~6:45AM. Just confirmed it was 2.36.108 - woohoo! First small impression, I dig the new charging screen (like an x-ray view of your MS, showing the juice level of your floor batteries). Can't wait to drive to work in a few mins to test out the AP highway exit features (and really hoping the "You wanna get off at this exit? No?? You sure? Why not? OK, FINE..." bug goes away - that one scares the crap out of my wife!
Sorry for being so giddy about this update (as many 'vets' seem to not be losing as much sleep about this...), but I'm a new owner (June 2016) and honestly I'm still in that honeymoon phase with Tesla. This update could have 'bricked' my car and I would have been excited to post about it (and have a good excuse to work from home today).

The download occurs BEFORE the notification. No connectivity is required during installation.

Same here - and I'm a "vet"...
According to the firmware upgrade tracker your installation has got no build number?
I gave a dislike to the post because it was condescending and insulting, and shows that he doesn't understand the mentality of an early adopter. I bought my first Model 3 three and a half years ago. VIN under 13,000. Sure, initial release of 8.0 will have a few bugs, but as long as it doesn't brick my car, I'm excited to be on the edge and even help Tesla by reporting bugs. That's what early adopters do. If you want safe, wait until Tesla is making a profit every quarter has been building the model 3 for a few years....
P.S. - Got the update on the S this morning, but still waiting on the X.
