@diamond.g Call the service center and tell them to send you the latest update. They will say 'no' but it will come that evening. Everytime I call they say "no we don't do it like that", and I get an update alert around dinner time. Happened 2 times so far. Just try it.

Heh, after I posted that my car got the update. Then 20 minutes later Tesla called me to let me know this update should correct the LTE service issue I was randomly having.@diamond.g Call the service center and tell them to send you the latest update.

After the update, i still have issues with LTE connection.
The service centre has told me "the fix is in the next update" for the past 4 or 5 updates. Same things for my phone as key issues.
They have no idea...

Whew. After a failed update which killed autopilot, they pushed the update again and it was successful this time. I was fearing I would have to make a service appointment.
I came in to service this am and the update showed again as soon as I pulled in (huzzah for Tesla Service wifi!). They're installing it now and monitoring it. Also re-gluing my charge port door magnet.

I've been on 34.1 since Sunday morning - haven't experienced any of the issues mentioned here with phone key or lane darts... yet.

Heh. I am not sure if trying to connect to WiFi corrects the issue, but it seemed to help get service back faster the two times I have lost service.
Well, it failed again so they're still working on it. But leaving in an S100D for the day does help assuage the annoyance, for sure.
No, normally the doors should open as long as your phone is on you, screen off and locked.
The fact that the car can be completely incapacitated is something that worries me every time an update comes. Yes, any car could fail to start due to something breaking, but to have it be a software and not hardware reason just sucks. I've stopped letting it update in the middle of the night because of this and just wait until I get home from work the following day when I have time to deal with it if a problem comes up.
Can you clarify what you mean by "bricked"? Typically "bricked" means it is permanently broken.
That's a valid concern but it looks like it pretty isolated so mine could be a combination of hardware failure along with the update. My car was delivered in March 2018 with the new MPU so there could be issues with the new hardware. Support and roadside assistance has always been outstanding so even though this has happened, I'm not too concerned with further updates.
I will definitely post the results of their findings once I have them. Hopefully its very isolated.
Sure, the computer was completely unresponsive after several reboots with support and the car is still being worked on by the shop. Maybe "locked up" is a better term but if the shop can't get it working after two days, my guess is that it's serious.
