I'm highly doubting that Tesla can push new firmware and activate/install it without driver interaction.
My thought is all Teslas would need to download and confirm the install of the firmware. It'd be running in Shadow mode. Only then, could Tesla turn it on later. I think downloading firmware that 'does nothing' will at least give the perception that 'things are happening'.
Reasoning being that all the firmware installed up to date has required the car not be in motion and in the case of the X, falcon doors closed. You are looking at a lawsuit if you had to go to the emergency room and found your car updating at that moment in time and you couldn't use the car.
The update process could also take a long time because I bet Teslas has lower level mechanisms in place that allow the car to be rolled back in case of failed or complications from the update.
I worry a lot for my TSLA holdings if a bad patch bricked the entire fleet and they had to send a ranger with a console cable to each and every single Tesla.
