Huh. We've always been told that you don't get notified until the car does a complete download and verifies the package, so I would have thought that cell signal during the update itself was irrelevant.
I'm not sure what to make of this.

Those Tesla road guys had that X awake in 5 minutes! I was worried about flat bedding my EV, I’m in a parking garage, flat bed wouldn’t fit in garage let alone with car loaded on back. They def knew their business!
I know I def learned my lesson, strong internet signal for downloads, again Tesla tech folks say they have seen this happen before.

I put an access point in my garage because the house signal was pretty weak. I recently replaced a switch in my server rack and forget to hook up the garage AP on the patch panel. I didn't find all this out until this same update failed on my X. It didn't brick my car like yours but it did leave it in a weird state. Center panel was dead. Cluster was missing odometer and temp gauge. Couldn't get the charge port to open and my rear tail lights were on.
I did the four finger reboot twice and that fixed it. Now though I have a persisitent "failed to update. contact service center" on my cluster.
talked to support and they said they'd push the update again. The woman on the phone said it failed due to a firmware version mismatch. Seems odd.

It is fully downloaded when you get the option to install.
I suspect if there's no cell connection, then it's so much harder for the Tesla to wake/fix the car over the air.
The whole "downloaded 99%" excuse sounds like BS to me. And "went to sleep" is double BS because in the middle of update nothing goes to sleep unless there's an update bug - the updater logic just prevents car sleep altogether.

I received 2018.32.2 3817fdd on Tuesday night. Oddly, the update came with no notes - just a blank screen where you usually see a narrative describing the update. No noticeable changes that I can see.
