Software updates (new owners)

[NigelT]

Just wondered how many people who’ve picked their cars up in the last 4 weeks or so have had a software update? I’m still running on fairly old v9 software, collected early Dec.

I have FOMO.

create a service appointment mentioning that your car is not updating when connected to WiFi and they will force it to your car - then you can cancel the appointment.

it's quite a common problem.
Go onto the app and schedule a service for the reason of "software". doesn't matter when or where you schedule it (you wont be going)
Tesla will remotely check you car then push out the update.
happened to me. they pushed me an update within 2 hours

When you do get the update it may only be to 2019.32 i.e the first version of 10. Subsequently you should automatically get the later versions of 10 like 2019.40.xx. took another 6 days before I got that

Thanks for the tip, although, I already have a service appointment for Jan to get the snags fixed. I guess I could add it to that...

I’ve had 2 updates since getting my car 3 weeks ago.

Have you connected to WiFi?

Have you connected to WiFi?

My last updates came as a notification when the car was on LTE, even though the download would normally be expected to take place via Wifi ... so, not being on wifi shouldn't necessarily be a barrier to at least receiving the update notification.

iirc that feature only came available in v10 - prior versions to that for regular updates, you got no notification until you were on wifi.

Yeah on WIFI, the signal is 'medium' 2 bars. I've also used my phone to hotspot out and about and on some longer drives just in case that made a difference.

There is a little hidden feature of the car that can force an update check, but it only works if your vin has been assigned an update.

Go to software menu in the car. Change the slider to advanced and tap the "advanced" word about 15 times rapidly.

If your car is due an update it will start the download.

If you tap the button 5 ti ...............................aaaHhhhh

We are in the same boat then
how did you raise the issue with them and how long since you took delivery?

I collected my car last Wed (Dec 18th) and it had V9 installed. Got an update to V10 on Friday when I connected car to WiFi.

It's been found is a hoax. Just opening the software updates screen checks. But it really doesn't magically get any updates. Software has to be published to the car, you can't pull it.

When I collected my M3P it was on V9 and reading various reports suggested I could be in for a long wait. Ignore all the posts about tapping advanced 15 times while standing on one leg etc. - it has no impact.

I started creating a service request and 1hr later the firmware started to download. Coincidence?

Interestingly - in V10 it tells you that it's checking for latest firmware. In V9 it gave no indication that it was even checking.

I initiated a service centre visit on the app.then got a text to say they have passed my concerns to the virtual service technicians and will be in contact soon. That was yesterday.still nothing.
