Lol... is someone putting money on that? I know 42 is the answer to everything...
(I believe my car is installing it now, couldn’t be anything else....)

Quick update. My car was updated to 2017.42.1. Still sitting in Devon as I'm away for work. No idea if it's fixed or not.
Kinda scary that a firmware problem could render the car inoperable.
I took delivery of my brand new Model S on September 22nd. Five days later on the 26th, I walked to my car after work and found it displayed the following error, "Parking Brake Needs Service Car May Be Free Rolling." The car had 68 miles.
After a week in the shop, I was told the issue was resolved. The culprit, I was assured, was a faulty 12V battery (DCS33-UNCR, MS (10837740-00-A)) and post, both of which were replaced.
Fast forward to this morning. I go to drive my daughter to school and find the same error on my dash. Once again, the car will not shift out of park and will not free roll even in tow mode. The car now has 219 miles.
Two things: 1) this is obviously a known issue (https://forums.tesla.com/forum/forums/parking-brake-needs-service); and 2) I'm not sure I trust taking my car anywhere now knowing I could end up being stranded. My old Honda is a better option for me at this point.
Anyone else having this issue? Anyone have any luck getting it fixed? If so, how?
I have already submitted this for executive review (twice) so hopefully they can fix the issue ASAP.
I've had this parking brake problem on my new MX 100D with ~1000 miles on it. Running firmware 2017.40.1. I'm unable to update the firmware further as I've had multiple failed firmware updates. The Ranger who came out to my house reset the car by disconnecting all power which seems to have temporarily fixed the problem and I'm now able to drive it. I'm still not sure why I can't update the firmware and even when the Ranger was hard wired into the car, he was unable to update the firmware.

Well, somehow the firmware was finally able to update to 2017.44 after dozens of failed attempts. Has anyone had the issue return after the 2017.42 firmware?
