Seems like a very minor update...
Maybe the Canadian version will also get Navigate on Autopilot

Keep in mind that some updates deliver massive functionality change without much in the release notes. For example, it seems like auto lane change has gotten significantly better in 46.2 yet there was zero mention of this in the release notes.
This may also include the improvements to the auto wipers that Elon said should be coming this month: https://electrek.co/2018/11/29/tesla-software-update-rain-sensing-neural-net-easter-eggs-elon-musk/

Any Easter Eggs? If they are going to do them for the holidays, this is close to their last chance.

So, you are saying that if we visit SC, they can initiate the update?
I am still stuck in 2008.42
Why do some owners get update earlier than others? What determines who get the updates earlier than others.

There is no pattern.
If folks are a few updates behind however (.42 isn't that far back), it usually means that there has been a failed upload and a manual push from an SC usually puts the vehicle back into circulation.

Last year the update was pushed 12/24 and 12/25 (to almost the entire fleet) for the HoHoHo Easter egg.
They might do it again on Christmas Eve/day. We’ll see...
No, just be patient. “I want it now” is not a good reason, and unnecessary calls to service centers about updates are probably one reason they’re overwhelmed. Updates are sent out slowly over days (it used to be weeks!) so if there is a new bug it doesn’t affect the whole fleet. Also not every car gets every update, often an update is stopped because a problem is found and those who didn’t receive it will only get a later update. Don’t stress about updates. You don’t need every one as soon as it’s out and sometimes you’re better off if you’re not one of the early ones. This isn’t an iPhone.
I said you should give them a good reason. For me, being on 42.x when 46.x was out with multiple bugs was a good reason. Turns out simply updating the software has worked 2/3 times I’ve requested it. This saved an appointment slot and hours of a tech and advisors time.
Basically there’s two types of Tesla updates: Wide updates and minor updates. Wide updates tend to go out to the entire fleet over the course of a few days or a week. These updates are ones that Tesla decided EVERYONE needs (whether it’s because of a major new feature like version 9, or a security patch).
The minor updates in between are different. Some of them go out to about 20-30% of the population, and then a newer version goes out to 20-30% of the population again (like what’s likely happening with .46.2 vs .48). This selection is usually random luck. Sometimes it’s tied to specific HW configurations if they’re testing a specific feature (like we’ve seen them target air suspensions, specific battery sizes, S vs 3 vs X, etc)
Service centers can push minor updates to you. But they have a history of being annoyed at users requesting such pushes. Before long, they will start ignoring all of your communications, even for more serious problems, if you make a habit out of begging for update pushes.
