...I don't have access to Wifi either where I park.....Instead what I do is go to the local Tesla Service Center and ask them to "Push" the latest software update to my car. They can see what version you have, and which one is available for your specific car. Then about an hour later I get notified in the car, and app, that there is new software to install. They do not charge any $ to do this.

The notification on your phone is not to download the software from Tesla to the car. The notification is to install the already loaded, or "staged," software. The longest part of this process is downloading, which you have no control. You only control installation

I'm on HW3 and just got a notice for software upgrade. I'm on 16.3 which I got two days ago which the SC DID push to my car to make available for me to install when I got home (@julianw). He did say he checked to make sure it was available for my car so it could be that you're car wasn't on the list since it's new?

So you guys are saying I will NOT see a Notification of a new software update since my car is not connected to WiFi. I Have to go to a Service Center and have them push the Notification???? Odd that there are at least 3 and I'm in-between then all. This SEEMS obtuse to need drive to a Service Center just to have Tesla push EVERY update to me. Why can't they just show up in Notifications and then I can Hotspot my iPhone????

If it was not so sad I would laugh. Welcome to Tesla. If it was as simply as going to a SC to have them push we would all have been doing it. I have a SC very close to my house. But my SC refuses to do what it appears some SC will do (push an update). I would have been willing to PAY to have it done but they will simply not do it. If I had something else wrong with my car and came in for a normal service then they would push out the latest version. As others have said being on WiFi is no guarantee you will get the new update either. The answer has always been you just have to "wait your turn". Elon said in the past they would provide an option to request an update from the car. That never happened. What we did get with 2019.16 is the option to say you want an update as soon as it is available. I.E. Standard vs. Advanced. No idea if that will do anything other than make us feel good but we will see. Not sure how WiFi would affect that as well.

I just got home from driving on a multi-lane, 40 MPH zone (I don't have Autosteer, TACC, etc.), with 2019.16.2.

• When driving properly in my lane (which is winding, so false positives could be possible), no interference.
• When changing lanes with a blinker on (quick blink and long hold), no interference.
• I then attempted twice, once on each side of the car, to drift (over 25 MPH) into the other lane w/o signaling (no cars next to me for a collision).
  • Each time as I got very close, maybe over the lines, the steering wheel steered me back into the lane gently. Just like many OEM ICE systems. The car did NOT make noise. The steering was appropriate and expected, not jarring or evasive.

This sounds like LDA@Assist (which matches the setting you've shown in your picture), not ELDA. Most of the gnashing of teeth on TMC appears to be about ELDA.

There might also be some concerns over LDA in action but given that you can turn that off indefinitely, if you choose, that's a fairly minor thing that is basically already addressed.

As you are currently on 2019.7.1, there is no way to see if you have a new software update until after it downloaded. Once you get to ver. 2019.12.x or later, your center screen will show if there is an update ready to be downloaded at which that point you would need to find a WiFi connection (or hotspot your phone) to download.

Parking by a service center or certain superchargers will connect you to the Tesla WiFi and if you have an update pending, it will download, however, going to a SC will not automatically upgrade you if there is no update pending.

Does it also display a download has started but not completed?

Emailed my original Deliver Specialist and asked about Pushing the update. She said they can't do that and you have to wait and need to be on WiFi. So I'm stuck on 2019.7 until I can find a WiFi to park my car at for several days????

If you have mobile hotspot on your phone, I have used that to get updates when I am out of home wifi range. But be warned it could be a big chunk of data.

I took delivery 2 weeks ago with 2019.7.106. I was not getting any updates and had made an appointment to my local SC to see if they could help push an update.

My internet at home is slow. I also used my mobile hotspot and was able to get 2019.16.3 two days ago.

I have received 2 updates via this method.

Just got 2019.16.3 yesterday like that. Sat for about 20 minutes in the car and got the notification.

 

[mbdionio]

this firmware is spitting out too many notifications.

 

[S100D]

Piked up my 3 yesterday (May build so HW3) and had pleaded for them to update the software to 16.3 (or at least 16). Live in a building so don't have access to my WiFi in the parking deck. Delivered with 7.1 and Delivery Specialist said that have no way to "force" an update. So now I wait. I have Software Update selected in Notifications BUT......WILL this notify me (the same or as quickly) even if NOT connected to WiFi? That way I can use my iPhone as a hotspot or try and find a WiFi.

Also if it notifies me will it start to download as soon as I connect to a WiFi?

Julian, under notifications, click Charging Complete. If you are at a supercharger and do not move you car within 5 minutes after the charge is complete, Tesla will charge you $$ for not moving your car.

Interesting.....

HW 2.0 Model S --> got 16.3 tonight (interestingly it doesn't have LDA or ELDA (nor do I see AEB, did they remove that for 2.0). It doesn't seem I gained much of anything on this car except the sentry button at the top from 2019.12.1 (prev version)

HW 2.5 Model 3 --> got 16.2 last night (with LDA/ELDA) from 2019.12.2

both have new visualizations for the car. So much for 16.3 being HW3 only?!

Kinda sad that the Hw 2.0 doesn't get LDA love. Seems like a good feature (worked well for me on the 3). I don't see why HW 2.0 cars can't have it (if they can do auto-lane changes and NoA)

Be careful what you wish for. My 3 has the two features and until ELDA can either be permanently turned off or greatly improved, I am glad my S doesn’t have it.

My car was in for service and before I came to pick it up I asked them if there was an update available and if so to push it to my car. I didn't just drive up and ask them to do that, wanted to clarify that.

Confused: How does this help me get a software update???? I have free charging at my building also.

I have not witness it personally, but, yes (according to the release notes).

Still waiting here in CA for my RWD Long Range built 3/19. I used to get these updates so quickly

I'm connected to my WiFi every night also... I seem to be VERY late to the party.
