Shipped with 2019.35.108, and still no boost?

[alexucf]

I traded in my 2014 pre-AP Model S over the weekend for a AWD Model 3 and absolutely love it. Tesla's come a very long way in relatively short term in regards to build quality.

It seems to have left the factory with pretty old firmware though, and I paid for boost in the app immediately after pickup on Sunday. It's not Friday and "sport" is still not an option under acceleration, and I think that's how you're supposed to tell if its arrived, right? It hasn't yet upgraded the firmware either.

I know from my S that it can feel kinda random and slow on roll outs, but also read there might be a way to goose downloads now. With boost not showing up I have to wonder if there's some sort of issue downloading or installing things.

Any thoughts?

Acceleration boost was rolled out in .40 crop of firmwares so you won't see it on .35. The version you're on has been seen on many newly delivered cars. there are a bunch of posts about it out there. Unfortunately, you'll might be on it for a while as Tesla tends to add new VINs to the update cycle in batches. A few people had luck with asking for an update check via the support chat.

Spoke to someone on tesla chat. They said to make an appointment at the nearest service center.

It would seem prudent to me for Tesla to not make upgrades available in the app if the car can't actually support them yet, but... here we are

Same here, took delivery 5 days ago, I'm on the same software version as you, and no luck on the upgrade. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

If you have any luck getting it upgraded somehow, let me know!

Its not the biggest deal in the world just a little disappointing. It’ll work itself out eventually.

For sure will let you know. I tried all the different hacks folks have mentioned on the forums, but no luck. What I do not get is why would you not put the latest and greatest software before it leaves the factory. Find that strange. Ours is what, 4 revisions back.

Check this post out. Seems this is normal for it to take long. Someone suggested opening a service ticket. Going to try that now.

That's because they don't work. Those who claim success are confusing timing with success.

For a bunch of people, it took about 10 days before the first upgrade out of 2019.35.108 happened.

Keep it plugged in and connected to wifi. I attached my updates and it just takes time. The mothership will send some love soon!

Update. Yesterday I received a text from my service center that I was on the latest SR for my car, that being 2019.35.108. I had so bmitted a service request the day before btw.
Oddly enough shortly after receiving that text, I got a notification that a Software update was available, 2019.36. It wasn't 2020.8, but at least it was a start.
Today, I received another notification for another upgrade, 2020.8

See! If you just have some patience it’ll work out.
