2022.40.4 seems rather solid for me currently. I have not been offered the 2022.40.4.1 yet but I can see that it is doing a major rollout currently. Can anyone here confirm if the .1 update there is still solid or would it be one to make things worse. Just want to make sure that I don't accidentally accept an update that makes it much worse for me if they happen to offer it to my car.

They don't need your permission to install updates that are required for safety or the health of the vehicle
Also, by refusing to install the updates when they become available you may be in breach of the vehicle warranty
If you don't want a car that gets regular updates, don't buy a Tesla.

Just like with recalls, some updates are required to be pushed out as they may affect the safety features or safe operation of the vehicle, so they can forcer those out without requiring you to approve them. If those cause other issues such as what we have seen before, you just roll with it and accept a few next updates until you are back on a stable release and can stay on it until you need to update or you get forced another update and the cycle goes round again.
Usually they get a stable version out every few months, so if you have major issues, it wont be for long.
The updates are not regular. The bug fixes are regular, generally inflicted at the previous bug fix.
You can always use the better vision system that you used before you got a tesla
To be fair, I think the phantom braking is getting much better with the latest releases. IMHO the real gotcha moving away from radar to Tesla Vision is loss of functionality when conditions for vision are poor (dark, heavy rain, etc.).
I have the seat warmers on the bottom quick access bar and since the software update the buttons don't work at all. I can to into climate control and update there, but the bottom bar buttons are useless

Have you tried the high beams since the update?
I've seen plenty of reports that it's much improved now, and Bjørn's latest video showed the auto-dipping working perfectly, it just took a little longer than expected to go back to high-beam. At least it's no longer blinding other drivers.
And as for the phantom breaking I've seen just as many people say it's better without radar than people saying it's worse - and on the internet people are much more likely to complain than to praise, so I doubt it's as bad as some people would have us believe.

Oh crap. Figured I’d finally install the radar killing update .40.4.1 and after taking ages the stupid thing has deleted all profiles, all trip data, everything. Piece of crap. Now says trunk and frunk too. Lost my lifetime trip stats. Grrrr! Have to set up everything all over again (it’s kept the keys, that’s it). And it thinks I’m in some place called Palo Alto Hills (or nearabouts).

I was like you and didn't upgrade for a while due to Tesla Vision however after using it for quite a while now I believe AP is much better. Note that I only use AP on freeways or dual carriage highways. Phantom Braking is almost nonexistent. I can sometimes feel the car come off the accelerator for a split second and I lose 2-3km of speed but its not like before where the speed would just keep dropping quickly and go 10-15km wiped off immediately.
Auto headlights seems a lot better but again I am on freeways only. Auto Wipers also have been playing nicely for the most part too.
Doing Syd-Canberra regularly and almost always leaving at the crack of dawn AP is on for nearly the whole journey. I always remind myself that if AP was flawless that I would probably end up asleep as the drive is quite boring! Perhaps the 'almost finished' AP is Tesla's way of keeping the driver on edge and alert?

You're talking nonsense, TACC is significantly worse. We're all in the development program of Tesla Vision now whether we like it or not.
Disagree. Tesla vision is terrible. Mine constantly slams on the brakes in response to afternoon shadows across the road.
I also drive a radar M3 (old software) and it doesn't have these problems.

I guess you both didn't read the comment directly above yours:
Of course the people who are unhappy with it will complain the loudest, it doesn't mean that they're right.

First drive on Vision autopilot tonight and I noticed it was stupid in slow traffic but on the freeway seemed fine. No phantom braking, but I didn’t get that much with radar either. Presume the road is just amenable to AP.
Auto high beam on the other hand. Gees what a damn pain that stupid shitshow is. I thought I’d be able to turn it off but nope, the control is greyed out in the ON position while in AP. Sure you can toggle the left stalk forward to turn off high beam ONCE IT’S ON, but not right when you enable AP (as I had understood from these forums). And when you want to turn on high beam, sometimes the stalk doesn’t work. Just refuses. Presume the stupid algorithm is overriding my input because at that time it doesn’t want high beam, which is not how ANY other inputs are dealt with. Driver always overrides brakes, throttle, wiper setting. But not half of the moronic high beams.
I still have to re-enter all of my favourite addresses and set up my wife’s profile. Stupid software updates. That’ll teach me, guess I’ll be on .40.4.1 for the next year or three.

Haven't lost a single favourite, address sor setting doing every update that comes to me.
Maybe something in that.
