Naming the updates 2022 versus 2021 ??
The year is now 2022 - why not put the accurate date into the Update version number instead of 2021?
Tesla is not Microsoft.

I just saw that the same website above has a nice write up on the cadence of tesla software updates. Note that I am making these posts as a regular tesla user, they are not necessarily "endorsements by a TMC moderator" or something. With that being said, I found this an interesting read:

The releases are when the build was compiled, and not necessarily when it was released to the fleet. It's possible that this branch was compiled on the 44th week of 2021...

At the moment it's just bug fixes to the 2021.44 branch.

The next major update will no doubt be a 2022.4 or 2022.8 branch, maybe with even more UI changes.

In this universe we aren't yet up to the 4th week of 2022. Tesla only issues non-default firmwares with a week code that is a multiple of 4.
