    where and how did you see this?
    Are you referring to vehicle config files information?
    I even see side mirror heaters and steering wheel heater.

    It's strange... you joined almost 3 years ago and have posted over 2k messages... and yet you fail to understand the most basic fundamentals of how Tesla releases products... ;)

    (I'm just messing with you... not intended to be taken seriously...)

    No. The speed limits are still wrong on the road that was wrong before for me. It is a visual change only, not sure why they did it. It is going to take some getting used to.

    May be related to the attempt to fix the intermittent front parking sensor failure (which they didn't fix).

    Could be easily prevented by locking out driving controls during an update, and of course disabling updates while the car is moving.
    Barely any husband would expose himself to the risk of upsetting the lady in such a way, so everyone would certainly check if it's ok to remotely start the update.

    2018.6.1 is definitely a wide rollout. I got it yesterday on my pre-AP 85.

    This one looks widespread ... on an 8-week interval as others pointed out may be a rough goal.

    If this goes on much longer.... (to quote Robert Heinlein).

    Yeah, same here. If the numbers approach 2017.50.2/3 quantity and still no luck, I’ll have to call support and see what’s up. I usually get it ‘early-ish’ on a ‘final’ release.

    LuckiIy, I seem to fairly stay up to date. But seemingly more so since I hardwired cat6 Ethernet cable directly to the range extender above my car for maximum signal strength. It takes a little effort and attic access, but I think it was definitely worth it.

    From the Model S manual...
    Note: Some software updates can take from two to three hours to complete. Model S must be in P (Park) when the new software is being installed. To ensure the fastest and most reliable delivery of software updates, leave the Wi-Fi turned on and connected whenever possible.

    This software update rendered my car immovable when it was pushed as part of a mobile service visit yesterday. The update failed repeatedly due to low voltage on the 12V battery. The technician tried changing the battery twice to no avail. Something surrounded the failed update triggered high power usage on the circuit, rapidly draining anything that was connected to it. Had to go through two tow trucks and a battery maintainer + tow truck jump + jumper pack to get the system to start up and successfully enter tow mode. (We repeatedly toggled tow mode with the first tow truck, but the car refused to respond, other than the screen showing that it was on. We don't know why it worked when a second tow truck came today.)

    Should be interesting to find out what went wrong.

    My solution was to get an old wireless router and set it up as a repeater. I placed it in the front window that overlooks my usual parking spot. Seems to work pretty well. Helps out my other mobile electronics too for when I'm in front of the house.

    I did the range extender like you but found that a mesh network worked better. The phone has to be on the same SSID for the summon to work. Yes you can log off your house wifi and onto your garage wifi but it is a pain. I used 3 Google mesh wifi to cover the house and garage and driveway. Same SSID for anywhere thus no need to log off and on.

    My main Google Wifi router is about 10-15 feet away from the nose of my car with a wall in the middle. I don’t think that in my case it’s the signal strength.

    Prior to hardwiring it, I had this same extender set up as a WiFi repeater mounting it on the wall of the garage as close as possible to my WiFi router. In the hardwired solution ethernet cable is connected directly to my gigabit switch that distributes Internet access to all the eithernet ports in my house.
    Pretty full proof and way stronger signal. A huge improvement!

    After 8.6.1 I did have a console (MCU) reboot on its own for no apparent reason. I did not report it to Tesla. Should I report it?

    This is very common and not a cause of concern unless it happens many times in a day.
