If 8.0 ships tomorrow everyone's next Tesla payment is on me!

Gonna go out and check before I go to bed just in case there's a delay in the app notification. Maybe reset the 17'' because why not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're relatively new here so you may not know the protocol to stimulate action to the update God's.
You must reboot BOTH the MCU and the IC 8 times. One for every letter in the name ELONMUSK. After that you get in the queue. Good luck!

Oh no, say it ain't so.

And there I was sitting in my car with the lights off chanting "Omen Sulk" eight times like an idiot. Thanks!

The OP is obviously the IT manager at Tesla. Updates go out starting at 12:01am Thursday. Well within "late Wednesday" Elon time.

T-minus 1 hour from midnight eastern time.

Well, if you were a genius kid, miffed that Dad's not around much lately..........what would you do?

Tesla goes by Pacific Time, so there's almost 4 hours left in the day.

Which day? Wednesday? Which Wednesday?

I'd probably be asking the 8-ball for advice.

CDN seed sits in a quonset hut on Baker Island. 8 hours to go. Not shipped until the last packet leaves that server. The satellite uplink is roughly 10kbits.

T-Minus 3 hours and 30 min until Cali is off the hook.

It's probably more like 2 hours left because it's going to take at least an hour and half to install.

It only counts if the release notes are posted.

"Ships" includes launching the metaphorical boat. That means the first packet of TCP/IP sent with firmware/software release v8.0 leaves Tesla and is on the Internet on its way to a customer car. (Even if it wasn't at the car yet when deadline strikes.)

I agree with that definition, but for the purposes of the bet the soonest indication that the software has shipped will be when the first user completes the first install. The time of course can be backdated to the time the user was first aware that they had software to install provided that what was installed turned out to be 8.0.

I doubt we're going to have anyone show us a screen shot tonight of 8.0 prior to midnight PDT.

Me too!!

So funny. How many of you are sitting outside your local service center, or repeatedly entering or exiting the geofence to hopefully "trigger" it?

Here's where me still not having picked up my first car made a difference: I neglected to consider that availability = shipped, in the case of a function that downloads after acceptance by user after notification, because the notification is functionally part of the process of shipping. That still fits my definition, though: the start of sending of the notification is what I consider the initial "shipping". Of course, proving it would require something like a chain of custody of the receipt of a validated notification and its related install version (although other means would exist), you are 100% right. Those race tracks got you on this better than me.

Is there a way to tell the car to check for an update? Similar to on the iPhone goto "Settings -> General -> Sofware Update" and it checks the server.

No, the updates are pushed out.

Maybe a secret code exist on the touchscreen, I enabled my iPhone hotspot and placed it next to the Tesla so I can see when data will be used. It only used 4 mb so far.
