How long one has to wait to get the V9?

[buzescu]

I have not been around for any major update. But so far no notification, no download ... How long should it take to reach all the cars? Are they pushing notifications very slow?

 

[ucmndd]

Up to a few weeks, just like any other update.

I've been a Tesla owner since 2015, and this is the slowest "wide release" I've ever witnessed of a major update.

V7 wasn't this slow
V8 wasn't this slow

I'm using TeslaFi as the measuring stick.

Is your car connected to WiFi when parked at home or office?

Yes it is.

I still haven't received the update either. 32.2 over here. According to Teslafi if their sample size is large enough we're maybe at a 20% fleet rollout. Hopefully we get it soon.

I think they're rolling it out in stages, letting the first customers test things out first. When they rolled out increased nags, both our cars got an update on the same night. Any other updates always come days or weeks apart (as long as 8 weeks). Out AP1 got got v9 last week, AP2.5 is still waiting - both on the same WiFi in the garage every night.

Previous major releases have taken one to two months before all cars received the update.

Unless Tesla has changed their software distribution process - they'll release it in a seemingly random order in batches, periodically pausing distribution if a major bug is encountered (until the bug is fixed).

Musk claimed owners would soon be able to have more control over new software releases, with the ability to request a release be downloaded to their cars - maybe we'll see that included in either the V9 release or a subsequent update.

Is a wifi connection the car needed, or does it just speed up receiving the update?
Zero chance of getting wifi to my communal underground garage

They do send out updates via cellular, but seem to always favor wifi. In addition to this, many people were seeing 5-10GB data transfers over wifi before they got V9 (me included). These are likely maps upgrades, and I hear those ONLY go over wifi, so you might need to park near a coffee shop with free wifi for a bit, or your nearest Tesla service center to get on their wifi for those maps.

Does your car still get its Cellular Signal in this Underground Garage?
and don't worry, plenty of people don't have it yet. I'm on Strong WiFi at Home and my Business (Advantage of owning the place and doing all my own IT). I bought 2 more Access Points to cover the Back corners 1 of which has my Charging Port. So I'm plugged in and on Strong WiFi and don't have v9

Actually no cellular or wifi at work or at home. On that basis I guess I'll struggle to get any updates. The car says 2018.32.2 at the moment

The new referral awards #4 truly stinks

I'm usually on the tail end of releases and I received it yesterday. Do we know if they follow the same delivery trend with each release?

 

[s1rk]

Still no update for me. Been connected to WiFi throughout the day for the past few days.

 

[P85DBeast]

None of my MS have gotten V9 yet. The P100D and the 85D are connected to the same WiFi overnight. The P85D is connected to my parent's WiFi at their house (considering they have the car).

 

[Naekuh]

trust me patience is a virtue when we get a new major rollout like this.
Why? because we get sacrifices errr volunteers to work out all the problems with the new version and a hopefully they have fixes ready for us when we do get them.

 

[Archduke]

I think you should be glad you haven't gotten version 9 yet. I have it and I *hate* the new user interface with the heat of a thousand suns. It sucks.

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

I never expect to get it.
But I won't be buying a Tesla any time soon.

Do you like to drive with your rear view camera on top? If you’ve been paying attention to the forum; that functionality has been lost.
