My speculation is - as a "social media influencer" @tesla_truth was specially sent the release first to spread the word.

Musk: V10 wide release "hopefully end of august" after early access
- Thread starter diplomat33
- Start date
Weird that the blog does not mention the new driver visualizations or the new auto lane change animations. I hope Tesla did not pull these features from the final wide release because of bugs. Hopefully, they are still included and Tesla just did not bother mentioning them because Marketing wanted to emphasize more glamorous features.
Nice to see the Spotify addition!!
I wish they'd talk more about what's happening with Autopilot though.
But glad to see that this should be rolling out soon.
Yea - I had a similar thought. It's odd to me that they often focus so heavily on some of the UI and Entertainment features and talk very little about the autopilot features. I get it to a degree but I bought the car mostly for the Autopilot so I personally tend to focus on that more than anything else.
Maybe I'm in the minority on this though.
You are not in the minority. I am with you. Marketing seems to think that the games and convenience features are the big attraction items and maybe they are for new owners or prospective owners. Perhaps, it's because not everybody buys AP with their car so Marketing wants to focus on features that everybody gets rather than on AP that only some owners will benefit from. But I care a lot more about autopilot and FSD. So I would love to see more focus on that.
Considering that we got a leak of the release notes that did include the new visualizations, I think they are in V10 and Marketing is just not promoting them.

Sounds like they're going to release it to the fleet based on what they say on the website.
Discover Software Version 10.0
It's in there.
Curious about this as well - my wife has SR+ and would love spotify
Blog - Introducing Software Version 10.0
This says: "Streaming Media & Browser Support Coming to all Model 3 Vehicles
To take advantage of the advanced media features in Software Version 10.0, we are also enabling browser access on all Model 3 Standard Range Plus and Standard Range vehicles. The update will also enable streaming media access to Spotify, TuneIn, and Slacker while parked and connected to WiFi for these cars."
Do SR and SR+ only get spotify when parked? That seems odd

It's a nice compromise, the software is there, we just haven't paid for the LTE. I'm hoping they also announce the ability to pay to unlock premium connectivity for SR/SR+ now that the software is available for our vehicles as well.
The website does have a features may vary based on config caveat, so I think we will have to wait for reports from EAP only buyers to really see.

Sure. Can't think of any reason why they wouldn't release to Enhanced AP folks with the actual wide release though. As long as it is in early access wide release (which it probably will be for the next week), sure, I wouldn't necessarily expect Enhanced AP folks to get it. I'm sure I'll be the last to know!

Well V10 can't be that important of a rollout...…. there is no new fart included 
Thanks for posting. Nice to see a more detailed blog from Tesla that includes the AP improvements.

Rather spookily, I agree with you 100%, although maybe I should reserve judgement on Tesla Theatre. Unlike gaming, which is downright uncomfortable with the in-car setup, watching a movie might be better than a tablet given the sound system and hence a justifiable feature.
- Cuphead - Tesla Edition (Yes!!!!)
- Smart Summon (Leaning No but depends on how good it is in the cases that I try)
- Tesla Theater (No because I will definitely use it)
- Spotify (No! I will use it a lot!)
- Caraoke (Yes)
- Driving Visualization (No)
- Automatic Lane Change (No)
- Feeling Lucky? Hungry? (Yes)
- Maps Improvements (No)
- Mobile App (No)
- Dashcam Improvements (No but I don't use the dashcam)
- Sentry Mode Improvements (No but I don't use sentry mode)
- Joe Mode (No but I don't need it)
- Software Update Improvements (No)
- Bluetooth Media Improvements (No)
- Application Launcher (No)
- Driver Profile (No)
