Yep, Wi-Fi, LTE, doesn't seem to matter. I even tested out re-installing the current software using Service Mode, then pinging for a SW update to no avail. The car absolutely has to wait 24hrs.

Model Y Performance - Track Mode

so funny enough alot of people dont realize track mode can be beneficial in certain scenarios like winter driving as now you can turn down/off regen unlike on late 2021 an onward tesla took that away, i look at track mode as "indivdual mode" that alot of cars have to fully customize the driving experience and its for sure not just for the track but can be used in winter driving or when on dirt roads to actually get better control over the car

Good point, thanks for pointing that out. I'll need to learn more about its capabilities and how it can be tweaked for everyday street use. Cheers
Track Mode makes the compressors turn on full time and its pretty loud. Probably not good for the car to run all the time either...its too bad we can't have control over the compressors.

We do have control over the heat pump, it's called Track Mode.
If you use the mode as intended, you want the add'l cooling. The car is smart enough to not over-cool the battery/motors anyway. I'm sure the life of the heat pump isn't affected. It is running within its normal operating range.
People that run their climate at "HI" with the fan speed maxed out in the winter probably have more of a detrimental affect to the heat pump than track mode.

Me too (I've probably posted that same thing). Still, it's okay to dream. If they had a 7 seat MYP, id have bought it. Sadly the 7 seats beat out the performance

I doubt many HPDEs would allow a Model Y on track... though I think it should be allowed. They generally don't let SUVs out due to roll over risk. But the MY (and evs in general) have a low CG and I wouldn't be surprised if they rolled over less than some ICE sedans

I went to a local HPDE 4 times this year. They had no problems allowing me to take the MYP onto the track. I was the only person who drove an SUV though. I recall reading somewhere that the MY is basically impossible to roll over, so probably no more of a risk on a track than a typical ICE car. I sure look forward to going again next year and using Track Mode there.
LOL, times have changed my friend. I've had my X3M and MYP on the track dozens of times without issue.

Dang... so many comments on this. Good to know! Not that I plan on tracking mine, but nice to know the molds been broken!
This is just wrong, FYI. my software last checked at 9:54 am yesterday. By 7 pm, I had a software update for the holiday update. DC from Wifi, Reconnect, DC from Wifi, forget network, soft reset, re-connect to wifi, and I had a software update. It's incorrect that it's "absolutely 24 hours"
Wow. It is so much fun even during the daily drive. I can make this car either FWD or RWD or AWD.
