I wanted to post and see other people's opinions on the "ADVANCED" option for software updates.
I'm the type of person that wants the latest software as soon as it is released to the public (as I'm sure many of you all are as well ). So, it's frustrating to have this option that claims to ensure that you "receive software updates as soon as they become available for your car configuration and region".
Specifically, it seems that the rollout of 2020.12.5 is well underway, yet my Model 3 claims that the "Software is up to date". I know some YouTubers (DirtyTesla comes to mind) live in the same geographic area and have the same car "configuration" as I do, and already have 2020.12.5. So, it really seems like "ADVANCED" gets you almost nothing in terms of updates, at least in the first few weeks of the rollout.
What are your thoughts on that feature and Telsa software update rollouts in general?
As a side note: It's especially frustrating to not get these updates because they still haven't delivered any type of "early access" to people that purchased the FSD package, as they promised that they would. Anyone can use the "ADVANCED" preference! Pretty much lost hope for any special access there.
