I was meaning to confirm the likelihood of it being an EU thing as it had been suggested it might be a Swedish thing. But yes, we are still in the EU at the moment...

Newbie question: Is there a way to accelerate the delivery of the update - i.e. reboot computer? I have seen some updates on European S with version 2.40.21 ... but it is not yet offered to my 1 week old car.

I once heard that Tesla gives priority to cars connected via WIFI, because it's a faster data transfer and probably saves Tesla some money versus sending it out via cell data network.

WLAN is enabled and I have accesses every minute (TeslaFi ?) ... signal is not strong :

There was lots of discussion on this in another thread recently. Besides connecting to WiFi which you've done, unfortunately you just need to be patient. There are many theories, but only Tesla knows the exact deployment scheme. It is not under Owner control.
My suggestion is keep your Tesla App running in the background, and hopefully you'll get a notification an update is ready for installation soon. Good luck!

Requirements for Teslafi.com states to turn off always connected if you want the car to sleep.

Understood. We all make our own decisions. TeslaFi is also not a standard service all Tesla owners use.
Peace.Agree with @BertL. Also, TeslaFi works fine with "Always Connected" checked if you don't use TeslaFi Sleep Mode. You can also use Scheduled Sleep which I don't think cares whether it's on or off.Understood. We all make our own decisions. TeslaFi is also not a standard service all Tesla owners use.
What about pre-refresh D cars? I'm hoping Tesla will eventually allow retrofitting the motorised charge port, since it was promised to us when we placed the order.
I upgraded as soon as the car told me there was a new software, but now I regret installing it. If you have a pre-AP car, don't bother. It doesn't make anything better, it makes several things worse.
The speedometer display has gotten extremely laggy. Sometimes it freezes for several seconds! Yesterday I had to reboot it because it got completely stuck. It's a constant issue.
The navigation has become laggy and slow. It also seems to have issues as it resets itself every few minutes. Very annoying when you want to know what exit or turn to take and it just shows you a spinning circle. The trip energy graph also gets reset so the prediction always starts over instead of adjusting based on your driving.
The top tool bad hiding automatically is a step back in usability. If I want to switch to phone, media player, energy graph, I used to be able to just tap on the icon. Now I have to tap the navigation screen, wait for one second for the controls to slide back in, then I can tap on what I want. Just annoying having to go through an extra step every darn time for something so simple that I use all the time.

All D cars I have ever seen have motorized charge ports. Yours doesn't?!?

Luckily Apple has helped prepare me to expect new updates to ruin a perfectly good operating system. My old iPads are laggy and the browsers crash frequently. Apple maps has failed me enough to where I only use Waze now. My iPhone's search function doesn't work nearly as well as it use to when I'm looking for a song. That's not all, but you get the idea. A strange parallel indeed.

My suggested "fix" was tongue in cheek but your response is very informative. Thanks!
Pre-refresh EU/HK/AU cars don't have motorised charge doors in dual-motor cars either, probably because the port itself (Mennekes-compatible rather than the Tesla proprietary port in US/CA/JP cars) is physically larger and there again was no room for it.
It's a pity that they didn't have room in the refresh cars for a 22kW charger (now relocated to the rear quarter panel) which means they max out at ~16.5kW
The extra 5.5kW makes a big difference in the supercharger-less deserts of Australia

Just a note that 8.0 has made sections of the user manual obsolete and so far there does not appear to be an updated version of it available on the Tesla website. Last version I see is from March 17, 2016 (North American edition, uploaded on April 5):
https://www.tesla.com/sites/default...Manual_Touchscreen_DAS_NA_R20160317_en_US.pdf
The onboard manual accessible via Setting does reflect the 8.0 changes.

They only started putting motorised Mennekes type 2 charge port doors on cars very recently (I think since a few weeks or a month ago). Older cars, D or not, only had the auto-open-manual-close port.
