I just got 44.2. I have my car set for scheduled charging and both the car and the charge port are locked, while not charging. So it seems, my experience, so far, is different from yours. So I'm not sure what changes in charge connections I should be expecting.

Why not?
If you don’t want an update to install on the day you are notified it is available, you can change the install date through the center display.
I’m quite aware I can change when the update is scheduled to install. My point was that it was surprising of Tesla to push out a new version on Thanksgiving. At most companies it’s not good practice to release updates to a production environment around or on major holidays. If there’s some major issue they’ll have minimal staff available to help with any unexpected issues. It’s one of the reasons that we don’t make any major changes or upgrades on Fridays at my job if it can be avoided.
I couldn't edit or update my previous post, but I need to do so. Like everyone else who have reported that the charge port remains unlocked unless charging is occurring, my charge port unlocked after a period of time before my scheduled charging began. I can't confirm it locked during the scheduled charging, but several hours later after charging, the charging port was unlocked, even though the car was locked. I am guessing this is not a bug, but is intentional to allow removal of the charging cable by not allowing the locking mechanism to lock and perhaps freeze after charging. During charging, the charge port isn't as likely to freeze up, so locking it is allowed.
One advantage other than preventing your cable getting frozen into the port, will be your being able to immediately remove the cable in the morning even before the car is woken up or unlocked. A disadvantage would be that your cable is more easily subject to theft.

I wonder if they pulled the 44.2 update? I see a flurry of installs this morning on TeslaFi, had an update notification come through on my phone last night just before midnight CST, but when I tried to install this morning, the prompt is gone from both my phone and the car.
I received the notice in the app, as well. Went to install it via the app, and it's gone. TeslaFi is showing others still installing well after mine disappeared, tho.
Same problem. Woke up this morning with an update notification on my phone. Clicked on it — nothing happened. Walked to the car and no update was showing as available. This is the second time this has happened to me. I eventually got V9. But only after a second notification.

I believe they pulled the update. I picked my car up Friday, .....it required an update. Went to update this morning and it updated to 44.1.
Same here, installed last night as soon as I got the notification. Guess we better check our cars.
Same. App notice for update last night. No update available this morning. I wanted to try the update from the app, but that option never showed in my app. Car is version 2018.42.3xx and Android Phone is 3.6.2xx .

Curious, has anyone from a warm weather climate received 44.2? All the posters seem to be from places not fit for man or beast (well, at least not SoCal weather).
Talk later @TT97 I'm heading up to Snowbird in less time than it will take you to drive from Santa Monica to Manhattan Beach.

Snowbird; Low 10°, High 27°. Santa Monica; 55-74°. You may get there faster but will use three times the kWh!
Having said that, I just bought my 4 y.o. his first snowboard for Christmas so I am itching to get up to the mountains.
Went for a quick errand run before the billizard hits here. I use a HPWC to charge at home. When I went to unplug it, it was not locked. I could just pull it out with no resistance. Not sure I liked it. Nice thing is you don’t have to worry about waking the car in morning to unplug.
When I got home I plugged it in and it took a few seconds before it locked the plug. Normally it locks as soon as you insert the plug. I had plenty of time to remove the plug before it locked. Not sure I liked it either.

same happened to me, nothing in the app or car this morning to install. phone notification was Sat night 11:23pm
Is this for the HPWC or the UMC (or both)? I'm not worried about my HPWC being stolen.
