Good news - I received the update yesterday. Bad news - appears the maps may be at least a year old already.
The navigation software still thinks my house is at the wrong place on the block; that it takes 5 minutes to drive the first few feet on our street; and a major street being added near our house is still missing, even though it's been there for over a year (and many houses now line side streets on both sides of the new street).
I've again reported the problems to Tesla. This time I didn't bother with the car's "Bug Report" feature - and sent an e-mail, with pictures. Though if the problems are out-of-date map data, it could be at least another year before I'll see any progress.
A few years back, I never did see my streets in the maps for my Lexus or BMW for new homes I was in for just a couple years each. It took 4 years for the streets in my new Marietta, GA development to show up in the maps available in a different Lexus. There is a very long cycle just getting changes into the 2 or 3 mapping databases (like Navigon) used for all sorts of products including automobiles -- changes seem to be batched-up and provided to auto mfgrs, who then do whatever they do before making them available to the public. For some reason, residential areas always seemed to take the longest getting into offline mapping DBs, and interstates the fastest. As we get more future Tesla updates, we'll have to see if the turnaround I've experienced in other brands is similar or not, but it's definitely not something to hold one's breath for.
