Software Updates for City Slickers

I'm unable to get the Navigate update as it only appears to download on WiFi. I park in a garage without WiFi and short of driving around and finding a good WiFi signal and then waiting for the software to stage for download, I'm at a loss to get this update quickly. Any ideas out there? I can't be the only one with this issue. Thanks!

This isn't the case. Sooner or later you'll get the update WIFI or no. Consider adopting (@forgotten member's) recommendation of doing random acts of kindness to improve your karma. Or carma, as it were.
 
Firmware updates should eventually be available via LTE, just with a delay of about 2 weeks.

Map updates probably require a Wi-Fi connection.

You might try hanging out at a Service Center while connected to their Wi-Fi if you need the map update.

TeslaFi has a nice firmware status page:

Looks like just about everyone is on 2018.42.x or higher. I'd talk to a Service Center to see if something is preventing an update. Sometimes a reset helps. Sometimes Service has to clear up a problem.
