So where is it? It may have released to early access but it hasn't been released to the rest of us. Usually released means released to the general public/population or it should say to a select group.

simple, just use the "forced update" in this release to download it....

There have always been reviews and videos whenever a new update becomes available...to anyone. Just means that it is a week or two away from mass release. It's all good.

I received it Saturday morning at 1:50AM right before my scheduled trip.

Maybe if you plan to use it you can push the universe to push it to you.

It was amazing too. It included the battery warm up, the 150 charging, and a bunch of other stuff I don’t remember.

The most important part was the autopilot update. Oh my gosh, it may have surpassed my girlfriends driving ability. The way I drive I typically leave more room between the car and the yellow dividing lines than the car and the white shoulder lines. I’ve been uncomfortable with how close to the yellow AP typically drives. Well, it seems they finally got it right for a whole lotta more conditions and road widths. NOA didn’t have me phantom braking with my left foot either. Oh! And when people cut into your lane that whole “brake so hard your head moves” has gone away!!! And I mean even for some really close cut ins! It brakes like an intelligent person would.

This was a solid, solid update. 12.1.2

There is a very long thread on 2019.12.1.2. This thread is about 2019.16.

Sorry. I saw the forced update thing. That was introduced in 12.1.x update for me.

Gotta love when these kinds of articles / posts / "news" stories pop up...….because......I guess the fleet at large won't see this until around August 2019...maybe 6 months….
