Software Updates Stopped?

[S&B's M3]

I'm a data guy, and I've been tracking "things" about my Tesla since I bought it in April of 19. One of the items I log is software updates, i.e., date, version, miles on odo, days/weeks between updates, etc.. In the 58 months that I've owned this car it has had 97 updates. Generally, on average, I have been getting an update every couple of weeks, again, on average. The last update was 2023.38 in early October, but since then crickets, no new features, no bug fixes, nada! Not sure why either. I do realize that some updates are driven by the Tesla model, computer, and features, like FSD, but there have been at least 10 updates to 2023.38 since it was pushed to my car nearly 4 months ago, not to mention the 22 updates to 2023.44 and 2 against 2024.2, so that’s a lot of updates. Not really complaining here, it just seems odd that prior to October I was getting updates fairly regularly and then they just stopped... FWIW, my car is set to the advanced software setting for updates and it sits very close to my wifi, so it's not lacking connectivity.

There has been an Autopilot recall, so if your car has it (some didn't buy Autopilot like the $35,000 Model 3 and don't have it), Tesla would do a forced update ota even without your consent nor WiFi nor Premium Connectivity.

Does this explain your scenario?

Did you do any service at Tesla prior to Oct?

Sometimes service put the car in a secret service mode. Happened to me. I didn't get update for 6 months until I requested service in the app for the issue. Two days later I magically got an update.

Nope, the last "service" that was performed was at my house by a ranger back in November of 22, nothing since. And since then, I've had 23 updates.

I looked. I see most ppl are getting .44.x update right now. You are only 1 major update behind. I didn't see anyone on 2024 update on teslafi. I think you are fine and will most likely get the 44 update

It's time to book a Service Center. They will mostly call you up to do a forced update ota and cancel your appointment once that task is successful. If not, they will keep your appointment for the Service Center.

Did you checked service mode for hidden errors?

Did you checked service mode for hidden errors?

Nope, never delved into the service mode; just my luck I'd e'f something up and disable my Tesla

Just checking for faults is really no issue. Most things are read only and if you are going to execute anything you first need to unlock gateway and that's impossible to do unintentionally.

There are some YouTube clips available where you need to be so you don't have to search all tabs. If you're a data guy you are going to like it anyway

Ok, so Monday afternoon I sent a complaint to Tesla via the app and about an hour ago they pushed 2023.44.30.8 to my M3, why they didn't push a 2024.X version is beyond me. Where I'd normally get an update, on average, about every 2 weeks, whether they were new features or (mostly) bug fixes, this one took 16 weeks... so this makes update 98, two more and I get a fee set of steak knives.

There are no 2024.x versions in wide release yet.

Start counting your blessings.

I have FSD and the 2023.44.30 update has been sitting on my screen for a month now. No forced update here.

 

[S&B's M3]

There are no 2024.x versions in wide release yet.

So interestingly, this morning I was pairing a new S24 Ultra to my M3 and a navigation update occurred while I was sitting there and then 2024.2.2.1 came through as well.

Mine is updating now.

Just an update here... since I sent Tesla a complaint on January 31st over not getting any updates since early October, I have received 3 updates in 10 days, 2023.44.3.8, 2024.2.2.1, and today 2024.2.3... I have now hit the magic number of 100 updates with the last one a few minutes ago.

 

[MOE J]

That’s fantastic response. A company that listens to fans. Good going.

i haven't received an update in my M3LR since December, still on 2023.44.30.6, I'm set on advanced for updates but I don't think there is any difference between advanced or standard.
