Software Update Download gets stuck at 50%

[lgkahn]

Like someone said I am sure.it is.decompressing the update and checking checksums at 50% and again at 100%. Just be patient.

Mine was stuck at 60 for a while then done.

Would be nice if the UI would indicate as much, could save lots of headaches and frustration.

I stopped watching installs. just start it at night and wake up with it complete

Mines was still stuck at 50% even overnight. Will see what Tesla says.

Is this still a thing that works, found it on the web.


3) Hold down both buttons over the scroll wheel while pressing the brake pedal. This is a deeper reboot than the previous one. Obviously, you can't do this while driving.

That’s old. Pressing the brake pedal doesn’t do anything anymore

Yeah, did same to me on the latest update. I left it alone and by the end of the day it did it.

Mines updated today. This morning my phone was asking if I wanted to install the same update number as the one that failed. I said yes and completed successfully. So next time I will just wait it out.

How has this not been addressed lol

Especially for us that have to hotspot updates as I live in an apt.

Would be nice is the “Premium Connectivity” I pay for included these updates.

I have mines set to normal not advance so I need to click yes to download. However it still tries to download and gets stuck, but a couple of days later at 6 in the morning it will ask if I wish to install the latest firmware and that it will take 30 minutes to complete. I click on install and it installs completely just fine.

The last 2 or 3 updates have taken a long time to download and install too. Yesterday was 2022.20.7. It sat at 50% for over an hour. Total install was over two hours

I’m an apartment dweller so have to use my phone as a hotspot. Def still an issue and is quite annoying as I sit here anywhere from 15 - 45 min as it continually stalls though I have good reception. 6-8mbps.

Yeah, I don't get a good WiFi signal in my car... but I get a good WiFi signal to my *phone* while sitting *in* my car. Perhaps the WiFi antenna in the Model 3 is weak.

Because of that, I typically park in a bad spot outside my window on the wrong side of the road and sit in the car waiting for the update to download. For the first year I never experienced the "stuck at 50%" bug, but now it seems to happen every time. Frustrating waste of time sitting in the car for half an hour as it is... but turning the WiFi on and off and rebooting the computer makes it much worse.

Sadly, Tesla has no one capable of fixing this bug.

Wait, Wait, wait, how did I never think of this? Turn off the system during a software update because it takes a few minutes. What could possibly go wrong?

It's not a few minutes. It just stops. So far, downloading updates has been a two-day process for me. I get the first 50% one day, then come back the next day for the rest. It doesn't happen in a reasonable amount of time.

Mine always seems to get stuck at 50%. Then it takes like 4-24 hours to finish the download.

Mine doesn’t show any progress bar in the car but a green arrow on top and it says the car is up to date as of Aug 8. In the phone app it shows downloading 55% for like the last 4/5 days

That's something different. I recommend you reboot by holding both scroll buttons for a long 4 seconds.

Tried that no dice

The "50%" bug causes the download to stop at exactly 50%. It sounds like you're dealing with a WiFi issue. Maybe power cycle your router.
