Yea, I agree. It wasn't a big deal for him, I just don't think he expected anyone to jump on it right away. It's interesting how quickly the process works for them, though. He pushed it again while we were still on the phone and he was driving to meet me and I got the notification almost instantly.

Some parts with onboard ECMs actually require a full system initialization, which they drive through the firmware updates. E.g.: my replacement headlight was blinking twice as fast as normal, which required the firmware update to "set" it to the proper speed. (Source: Mobile tech who replaced my headlight.)
I think this is more annoying for the tech on MCU1 than MCU2.... MCU2 can stage an update in a minute or two. MCU1 can take an hour between pushing the update and the alarm clock showing up which sounds awful for a tech’s schedule.

Something happened to the reindeer. Now it's just the sleigh, but no deer running alongside, just plain cars. I'm bummed.

Saw a YouTube video on this. The valet pin is separate from pin to drive. So you don’t have to give your pin to drive pin to valet your car. Just put it in valet mode and car recognizes it’s in valet mode and does not require entry of any pin for the person parking your car.

Installed 2018.48.1 last night when I was away on a business trip. When I returned home this evening (my car was garaged and not being used) I wanted to go for a spin and wasn’t able to wake up the car from the Tesla app as I’ve done without issues in the past. Thoughts of my car being borked somehow from last nights FW update ran through my mind. I tried opening the drivers side door and that did the trick. It looked like it was rebooting (saw a large red T on the screen) and a few seconds later the app was active. Strange though because this was the first time this occurred. All other FW updates the Tesla iOS app immediately connected to my car and woke it up within seconds and I never had a screen reboot all by itself without any user intervention. Anyone experience this with this new FW update?
Forgot to add: my rear view camera is now flickering when I place car in reverse. I’ll post pics when I can.

The app has been updated to work better with the software update - try updating the app. I just got the software update last night but I updated the app several days ago and have had trouble using the phone as key ever since, so I hope now that they are both updated this problem will have gone away.

Thanks. But I had already updated the iOS app to the latest version before the FW update.
How big is the file for the update? I am on 42.4 still, and as of today, activity on my wifi network has picked up to my M3. So far, over the course of the last 24 hours, it has pulled down 3.2GB of data and uploaded 99.8MB. An update has not triggered yet. Looks like the data has come down in chunks too (see attached).
Just thought I'd ask. I'll keep an eye on it.

Your Model 3 isn't just going to sit on an update after it's been downloaded. It should notify you via the app almost immediately that a new update is available after it has finished downloading. Most of us are not on 2018.48.x yet, just gotta be patient.
It apparently is still pulling data down. Went up another 1.5Gb overnight. Still nothing. Do latest updates require previous updates to be installed first?

Ya I don’t like the beep and the constant telling me to change lanes. I guess I’ll try turning it off. But will it still work for changing freeway and taking off ramps?

I think it is funny that my 4th referral award was the priority software update award but yet I don't have the latest software.... what's up with that? 
V9 removed the reindeer.
Icon sizes changed and they are trying to convey more useful info on the display??? Who knows why for real.
The options are Disabled, Mild, Average and Mad Max. If you set it down to Disabled or Mild, you won't get as many suggestions as if you are on Average or Mad Max.
Mine doesn't beep unless there is a required lane change and I'm not in the correct lane. If traffic is too busy that I don't want to do the suggested lane changes, I just ignore them...as I'm usually busy watching traffic.
I finally got the update today! Now on 48.12.1 My M3
grabbed another 823MB overnight bringing the total download over the past three days to a whopping 6.5GB and 163MB upload. Just thought I'd share. Definitely not something to do over cellular or slow WiFi!
