Software update failed, car won’t move, got loaner 3 days later, car fixed next day!

[BLKMDL3]

Car just completed a software update. The service advisor said it will be a few days before I get my car back but I think ill get it sooner.

Good to hear you’re getting your car back. Please let us know, when you can, what was fixed.

Is there a way to manually start the software updates for the Model 3? If so, is that what you did?

I heard parking within WiFi range of the SC will get you a download. Can anyone verify?

Not according to a video Bjorn made on YouTube. He parked and connected no update

That was hashed out here a while ago—seemed to have been true initially but stopped just as it was becoming widely known. Now SC staff sometimes say they cannot even force an upgrade without a specific reason since the rollout is automated although they may be able to put in a request.

Others have claimed now that you must have an open service ticket for it to give it to you when at the service center.

I dropped mine off yesterday and as soon as I pulled in it prompted for the update.

Got a P90DL loaner! Just gave it a nice detail and so happy. Told them every little thing wrong with the car so I’ll get the loaner longer!

Nice. Enjoy the loaner and free supercharging as long as you can.

Hah if I got a P90DL loaner I’d tell them I’m keeping that and they can shove the 3 where it hurts.

I just told them to fix everything that seems to be off and to replace the suspension for a new one and measure all the tires and rotate them. Trying to stall them because ludicrous mode is just intoxicating. But I miss my Model 3 still.

Tell them you are waiting for the AP3 chip and you don’t want to schedule another appointment for that.

Or my 12.5k service, i'm at 7k but may or may not have worn my back tires already.

GOT MY CAR BACK! They replaced 12v battery, SD card, and updated bms. Engineer in Fremont it’s fixed it in two hours after I called and asked for my car back.

Have an MX and just at two years of age today. Charging last night-in garage. Car was dead!!
Door would only open a crack now no door will open. Dash won't lite up and fob cannot do anything. Not accessible by app or wifi either-Garage smells like sulfur!!
Called Fremont-said-need to make a device appt.
Live in El Paso-500 miles from service center-so called ranger service and may come to house tomorrow.

Anyone else had this problem?
Sounds like a catastrophic failure of 12V battery. No leakage under car yet.
Any advice?
