Firmware version concentration level high?

[Chippylad]

I am a relatively new owner and have only been looking at the Teslafi Firmware tracker for a few weeks and so am not sure if what I have observed is usual or significant. In the past few days the rollout of 2019.28.3.1 has been fast to the point that over 80% of registered vehicles have that version. This is the highest concentration of any version which I have seen. Do longer members of TMC agree that this is a high concentration and, if so, does it have any significance?

Generally, a new version is pushed aggressively when it contains a bug fix which Tesla consider important. "Aggressively" in this context can mean not just pushing it quickly, but also pushing it to cars with no wifi - which costs money in mobile charges.

The bug fix can be something visible (eg the dog mode / manual a/c settings bug) or something behind the scenes (eg fixing an exploit in one of the computers).

If you are interested in this, have a look at a website linked to TMC - ev-fw.com

This tracks your firmware and analyses updates by model, region etc if you are trying to make sense of this.

Not 'registered vehicles' but just 'registered vehicles that use TeslaFi... that is a much smaller sub-set.

It may be indicative, but it is not a comprehensive analysis.
