The second one ... sorry ... very bad attempt ... I thought the actual wording plus the little smirk emoji gave it away!
Even still, that build _is_ going to FSD Beta cars (ie previous installed version 2022.44.25.5, 2022.44.30.5 or 2022.44.30.10 - aka 10.69.25.* FSD Beta builds).
Have a look on TeslaFi (if you don’t have an account, you can still access TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker ) - not a big rollout to them yet but not none either.
Maybe these cars - where the previous installed build was an FSD Beta one, and they are now getting 2023.2.12 - are owners who have left the FSD Beta program, I don’t know… You‘d have to guess there were a few of these with the recent adverse publicity for FSD Beta, and some influencers saying that the most recent FSD Beta build has some regressions. Dunno.

This morning on MY 2023.2.0.5 no real updates just keeps telling me the same Sentry mode feature as last TWO updates. I expected more in communications even just the ubiquitous blah blah blah "Fixed a few bugs and updated items."
Thats a bit rough expecting to be told what bugs you are importing
The majority of releases are big fixes.
New features (generally) only introduced when the 2nd dot number changes.

Guess, as said, just want a sentence. I realise big releases with features you get informed about.
Hotspot your mobile. Most updates 400-800Mb.What do you do when your car space doesn't have wifi to download the update? Where do you usually go to get free wifi outdoors
Vast majority of public wifi has a portal screen which the car can't get through..
Alternatively if you are close to a Tesla service centre or some (see the Wiki) superchargers, the car will auto connect to Tesla WiFi

Over the air means you don’t have to take your car in, re traditional service model, to a SC….so the 4G connection is used to let you know an update is available however WiFi required to download the update (still OTA in my personal opinion)….
Probably just because it costs Tesla money when using built-in 4g connection to download large files like an update.
If an update is important enough, or you are far enough “behind”, it can be pushed automatically to your car over the mobile connection, with or without premium connectivity.
As far as wifi, you only need it to _download_ the update (when it is available for your car it will download automatically when the car is next connected to wifi). It can install anywhere once downloaded; that is you don’t need wifi to update, only to download - and even then only if you don’t want to wait a really long time for it to be eventually pushed over the mobile network.
Canberra Supercharger allegedly has WiFi. Its SSID isn't public. Not sure what to make of that.
Interesting; I saw that one and Gosford (and maybe another) shown as having wifi when I was looking through the updated charging prices recently and hadn’t had a chance to try one of them to see what - if anything - happened.
Looks like your car didn’t connect to it either (hidden or not) from the signal strength still being shown as the 4G style one rather than the wifi fan. I think I saw somewhere that the (US) Supercharger wifis showed up with a SSID of Tesla Service, so maybe between that not showing in your list and your car not auto-connecting to anything, either it’s not fully set up in Canberra yet or it is a data error?
