That seems disingenuous by the service team, though maybe they're not any more in the know. Admittedly, this is my first Tesla, so I'm not sure what "the chain" looks like to run up, but maybe if you contacted Tesla Support directly? You could probably point to a myriad of reasons (want to avoid blank theater screen issues, etc.) or just point to the fact that you're 2-3 major releases behind.
You've had the car for less than a week, so the 2021.12.4.9 version you have might be "too new" in that Tesla often has from-factory versions that have special code that isn't ready to merge with the main release. In the past, the factory versions have "odd" week numbers, e.g., 2021.3.*, and they have newer code in some aspects than what their version might indicate, e.g., 2021.3.106.5 was first noticed August 12th while 2021.24 was first noticed August 3rd.
@Mardak Understood. It's odd though that my high/new VIN, delivered five days ago, has a firmware version older than cars with lesser VINs delivered in July or earlier .4.9 vs .25.x. Also, there's the fact that my 3 updated in less than 3 days after delivery; hence the shout out.
@bananaheim Same. In a way, I want to skip 2021.24.3. Seems worse than what we have. No issues so far with mine. I can even open and read the manual.
I just checked and I download something call 12.25. It’s a language pack for Portuguese. The phone still says I’m on 4.9. I have a service call tomorrow. I’ll see what they can do.
@bananaheim Oh no, that one’s bad (as in “ba-lows”) from what I’ve read. I’m sticking with what I have until after my road trip next week.
I washed mine this week. And used Hyperseal. Are you shaking your head?
