What's the criteria to get a firmware update? Some intern in Fremont randomly selects who get to be updated per day?
I don't think anyone who knows for sure posts in this forum. But it seems like firmware rollouts are at least partially random. I suspect the low rate of HW3 cars getting 2019.16.x is not random though. Seems to be a far lower rate than HW2.5 cars.
That said, I haven't seen anyone post the reason and I suspect we won't. It could be that they have seen a bug in the small number of HW3 cars they've rolled it out to and are waiting on another point release before they push it to more. It could just be that they are waiting for HW3 cars and rolling very slowly to them out of an abundance of caution because it's so new. Maybe something else. Only the Tesla engineers know for sure. They have the data and probably won't share that.
It's fun to speculate though.
