I remember an instance where a 7.1 "build number" (as you're calling it) was either the same or inconsistent with a previous 7.0 build number. That's why the complete number including the version (what you're calling a marketing number) is the full complete unique number.

I'm pretty sure that didn't happen, or if it did, it was a user entry error on EV-FW.com (which was later fixed).
I'm certain the build numbers (2.52.2, etc) are NOT exclusive/unique to the Version number (8.0, etc).
edit: buy yes, for completeness, it's best to use 8.0(2.52.2), etc.

And in addition to the details from @msnow you can register at Tesla Firmware Upgrade Tracker Web App if you haven't already done so, to track the various updates/builds. If you are able to determine the logic behind the various roll-outs, you win a prize.
Just to be clear, when you say build numbers are exclusive to the version numbers it sounds like your saying you could have an 7.0 (1.2.3) and an 8.0 (1.2.3)...each one being exclusive to their respective version number.

Oops.. no, I meant it the exact opposite, sorry. There won't be a 7.0(1.2.3) and a 8.0(1.2.3)..
I guess I should have said this instead: Build numbers are unique across Version numbers.
Sorry for the confusion.

Every car does not get every update. For whatever reason, your car may never get this one, and then could be one of the first to get the next one. Or you may never get the next one too.
Your car will eventually get updated. Try not to sweat it.
And I definitely would not call anyone at Tesla because your car hasn't received one update a few days after some other cars have.

I have AP1 (HW1) and running 2.52.22.
This release "dances" a lot ... really a lot !!
And it's in plain highways (European 2 or 3 lanes each direction with divider)
The previous versions were a lot smoother.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour ?
I'm not. In fact I find it smoother and more stable than the last few updates. Could be a geographic thing though.
Notably, I don't think it was expected that people would use autosteer(on HW2) by going 20mph below the speed limit when the rest of traffic is going the full speed. I was able to try it out in actual 40mph traffic last night and it worked beautifully, presumably by following the car in front.
On a side note, a feature request: allow a different steering wheel position(tied to driver profile) for auto steering. It'd be nice to have the wheel come down a bit so I could rest my arms better while still holding the wheel, and it shouldn't be a safety issue since steering wheel position is just about comfortable position anyway.

That's an interesting feature request. You should write something up, and send it to [email protected].

To try mine out I head for our wonderful "405" freeway. (not the CA one) I can always count on stop and go slow traffic almost any time of day that fits nicely into the 45 mph "window". Yesterday I drove approx. 15 miles in that traffic. Still noticing the twitching and jerky movements.(and yes I am talking about the autosteer ..not MY jerkiness
Interesting request but there is a specific steering position, just like mirrors, to allow proper vehicle control. It shouldn't be about comfort.
I could see this being a useful feature when full automous driving comes out that the wheel would retract. As it is right now I think you should have it in the normal position as your hands are suppose to remain.
Again though really interesting thought process.

How did people ever survive before adjustable steering columns?!? Virtually none of them could exercise proper vehicle control!

Not seen that requested before ... I would suggest you just create an additional profile (based on your main profile, but just with a different steering position). I imagine one day AP will not need any/much input from me, but as it stands right now there are times when I am in-and-out of AP repeatedly, and I don't think having the steering move each time would be desirable
I would think you should be receiving an update soon. Since you're still in "shadow" mode (2.52.120) and EM has stated ALL HW2 cars where getting the update, then I would expect something soon. As others have stated there's no guarantees that you'll receive any specific update but, you should be transitioning out of shadow mode any day with an update (maybe a new release).

I found a spot in front of my house, away from the charger, that gets my internet signal. 2 hours later I got the upgrade notice and then 45 minutes after starting the upgrade I got 17.3.2. I guess there were a lot of engineering version between the two releases.

You can do that today without any software programing from Tesla. All you need to do it create another driver's profile. Keep everything the same except lowering the steering wheel. You can then press the "Autonomous" profile and it will lower the steering when for you.
