Agree, I did a 2:00PM check and the following day at 6ishAM the software update popped up. Funny thing is after updating it still said last checked 2:00PM and up to date.

Hopefully this means that checking for an update and getting nothing doesn't mean that we're shutout for the next 24 hours.
I've been beside myself waiting for this update to arrive, so naturally I have not gotten it yet.

I got it off cycle so i think the software is pushed.
How do you force it to check and where does it tell you when it last checked? Is this in the car or the app??
Thanks.
You can't force it.... Anyone saying elsewise is pushing baseless rumors. The car checks when it's connected to internet.
On a different note, I hope Tesla unlocks an acceleration boost on the MYP now that the Kia EV6 GT beats it:

The Kia EV6 GT is an electric vehicle that’s quick, thrilling, and ready to go toe-to-toe with the Tesla Model Y.

Does this include the regen user selectable settings?
If included, how is that recommended to set up regen for a user created "snow" setting around ice and snow when slick enough to cause the back to step out?

I miss being able to (controllably) spin my car in snowy parking lots. I took my Y out the first time it snowed to see how well/bad it would do after our first snow fall... I've never had an AWD car or snow tires (or an SUV for that matter), except for the Prius I owned, all of my cars have been manuals and a majority of those were RWD sports cars.
I was both impressed at how well it handled in the parking lot and disappointed I couldnt make it lose control. I would love to have the ability to bias the drive wheels and turn off DC.
Yes, 0%-100%
There is no snow preset. you can test it yourself and select the best setup that works best for you.
I can set the 100% rear motor bias (it becomes RWD car) and drift it all day long. or make it FWD car
The only thing you notice the most is the stopping mode which is "Roll" only when in Track mode, so you will have to press the brake pedal to stop the car. Otherwise the car will either roll forward or backward.

Now I am looking real smart with my Hansshow touch screen that I can run Google maps on
... now I just need the damn update!I am assuming that AP is disabled in track mode? What about cruise control? I obviously don't need either one of those when our having fun, but for those trying to set up a "snow mode" it might be useful.

A while back I thought if we ever get the track mode in MYP, I could use it to dial up a snow mode. Having been through last winter and just driving through a couple of snow storms in the last couple of weeks (including just now), I've found that driving the MYP has become so second nature that I don't even need to change to chill mode or decrease regen braking (using S3XY buttons) in snowy situations. I simply haven't come close to getting out of control due to too much acceleration or regen braking. But I will certainly try out some track mode settings for driving in snow.
Now where my holiday update at??!??

Looks that way. Only took how many years to prove me wrong?
Maybe I’ll get that center horn on my Model S after all.
If you’re negative about everything eventually you’ll be right about something. Keep working at it honey.

S3XY buttons to the rescue on Yoke wheel horn, and turn signals. I think having one of the buttons mounted in the center of the airbag cover looks goofy, but I wonder if you could make a modified air bag cover to go over it?
