Any way of knowing if I am significantly behind or if a lot of others cars are still on this older Firmware?
My latest version is 5.15. 10 days ago I got a notification from my app that there was a version update waiting, probably 8.2 or 8.3. I delayed activating the firmware update for a couple of days. By the time I tried to do so, the firmware update had disappeared. So I am still at 5.15. Either the update had an non-disclosed expiration time limit, or possibly it was superseded by a subsequent version without keeping my position in the firmware queue. The moral of the story is if you get a firmware update notification, do not delay activating it.
What is also not clear is for those of us behind are we just going to be bumped to the latest version or will we need all the in-between updates we’ve missed? It seems like there’s been 2-3 updates already.
In the past I’ve felt like I was getting the latest updates in line with posts in this forum. So a little lost on what the deal is now. Transparency of some sort from TSLA would be helpful.
Tesla does pull releases when it finds an issue with them. So it's not always a good thing to be on the latest firmware. Lots of people reporting weirdness with 8.3.
No, you do not need all the in-between releases. The firmware releases are not patches. They are full firmware packages.
Question:
When you buy a new M3, do they update to the latest version at the Dealer when you pick up the car? Or are you stuck with whatever version was installed at manufacture, and you have to wait for update like everyone else?
I just submitted on the mobile app I guess we shall see.IIRC there is an option in the phone app to request service, one of the options is FW update. Has anyone tried that?

Its my belief that they simply add your car to the list of cars needing updates when you buy it, and its "somewhat" in purchase order, unless you are an exception for some reason. I have no idea how they do it exactly but it feels like they would have different user groups in a structure somewhat like Microsoft Active Directory or something, and unless you get put into a specific user group (Early access, FSD purchaser, etc) that you would just go in the general OU.. and have to wait. The model 3 you have thats on 8.3 is the one you bought " a while ago" right?
