Still have not had an update pushed to my car (on 2019.12.1.2)

Count yourself luck your M3 came with 2019.12. I received my care (home delivery) last Saturday and it is running on 2019.7. So I'm currious too on how long I'll have to wait to receive updates. I'm connected to WiFi too. I'm thinking of calling Tesla Support to see if they can expedite it, because I would like to have Sentry Mode before I have to take a trip to San Antonio in a month.

Are you sure you do not have Sentry Mode? 2019.7 should have it. It is not automatic yet so has to be turned on each time but can be done through the Tesla app and there are third party apps that can turn on Sentry Mode as well.

So I picked up my M3AWD about a week ago. It came with 2019.12.1.2 however I still have not had the option to update to any of the newer releases.

I will concede I don't have access to WIFI in my garage, however I have been driving around with it connected to my phone as a mobile hotspot in the hopes of tricking it into updating over that.

Is it normal to wait this long for an update?

Turn off “Keep Climate On” follows instructions below:

Honestly, I'd prefer to be back on 12.1.2. Maybe it's recency bias, but that seemed to be a really stable release that had all the features I needed working well. 16.1 introduced the annoying ELDA safety feature that can't be turned off and 20.1 has started corrupting my thumb drives for the Dash Cam / Sentry Mode.

Does the 3 stay connected to WiFi when it’s in Drive? I know on the S/X, it flips to LTE once you take it out of Park.

I think it means they wanted to get you off the chat!

I wonder if "next week" is like Elon's "later this month" or even "three months maybe, six months definitely"

Wi-Fi is turned off in Drive.

Wi-Fi is turned off in Drive.

You can turn it back on by hitting the LTE icon and then joining a network

Indeed.

... or 2 weeks like in the Tom Hanks movie Money Pit.

i heard from a little birdie that if you schedule a service appointment via the app requesting the new software that it will get pushed to you, i tried this and 30 minutes later i had an update, installing as i type
