Some use their Phone Hotspot for a WiFi Connection. I have heard of some that actually get a dedicated WiFi Hot Spot for the car (a little extreme). Some hook up to Starbucks while getting coffee. I have had some updates come via Cellular (my very first update was over cellular I believe). Anyway, the word is from Tesla pretty clearly they want to send out updates over WiFi at least "first". I first heard of the WiFi requirement for MAPS Only because they are so large but then started to hear even firmware updates required WiFi.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????
NOTE: I just look at a screen shot of the new Software Update Options. Maybe once on that version you will see when an update is available for download once you get on WiFi. I think I heard of someone who got that. Then you could hook up to your Phone WiFi Hotspot and hopefully it will download.
