This part cracked me upI was almost afraid to punch it for fear of the dash braking apart
After I finally finished putting mine in I went for a drive (naturally) but still had pliers, trim tools, and various trim pieces all just laying in the car. First time I punched it everything went flying everywhere, lol.
My install was similarly as inconvenient. But I’m not as young, flexible, and savvy as the average DIY’er. It’s not a dealbreaker. But it’s good to set fair expectations for the amateur installers.I finished the install and am just finishing up putting the trim back. I had to go pick up kids from school, there's another Tesla avail if I couldn't have brought this car to a drivable state — but I did. I couldn't finish everything, basically glovebox and airbag were back in 100% but upper dash was still lose on the pass side until I finish everything else.

The install was an absolute pain. Difficulty is 10/10 on Ryzen. I would say, if you're not very comfortable working on cars, electronics, etc., probably not a great idea. I've worked on cars in the past, including taking (gasser) engines apart, my main concern was really not to damage anything taking it apart/putting it back. I am happy to report that, other than the X170 connector, which can go straight to hell (sayonara red clip! you will not be missed!), all the parts are made extremely well from a popping out and back in, unlike parts on some computers (you go to upgrade RAM/SDD and it just doesn't go back together exactly like before, and you mar some parts because even with the right tools they don't come apart properly — there is none of that here, yay! So, there is at least that (again, except for the X170 connector). The people/robots who put my car together routed the cabling around the connectors in question the worst way possible/imaginable, I had a terrible time with both connectors, but in particular with the upper X170 — there is a very thick and hard cable that ran in such a way that you couldn't remove the connector. An absolute nightmare.
Ask Ingenext. Also probably want to keep updates somewhat up to date, unless you have a specific reason not to.
I was wondering the same thing. It looks like a harmless recall update to make some of the icons more visible but I also noticed it said Security Improvements so wasn't sure whats up with that part.
As this would be my first update since install, I am itching bad to install — is it typical to lag this many days behind before publishing on the "safe to install" page, or is it a potential sign there might be an incompatibility? It's annoying to see the "Install Update" every time I shift into Park (I do school carpools and this is a frequent occurence for me
).Safe to update page normally takes many weeks before updates appear. Best bet is to keep checking here. For minor updates alot of people here will just install them right away.As this would be my first update since install, I am itching bad to install — is it typical to lag this many days behind before publishing on the "safe to install" page, or is it a potential sign there might be an incompatibility?

Its been a while, but IIRC they give you access to the new firmware on a box or dropbox drive, then you connect the ghost or nice try module to your computer(via the USB cable supplied with the Ghost) to do the update. I've only done it once.
I actually did the same thing!. I'm hoping the issue with the Y was a fluke but we need more info to know for sure.
