Tesla V10 software update rollout: post here if you are still waiting

Average guy who loves autonomous vehicles
Good to know. I am just going by some videos I have seen.
I am confident that Tesla will improve Smart Summon over time just as they are improving AP.
Seeing nobody in the driver seat at all in Smart Summon is exciting to me because I feel like it is a first big step towards autonomous driving. With nobody in the driver seat, you know that the car has to do everything. So everything we see, is the car doing it. Sure, it might make some mistakes which is why the driver has to press the deadman's switch on the app and monitor the car, but I trust it will improve. And I feel like we are getting our first real taste of what a Tesla robotaxi might look like since we are seeing a robotaxi (no driver).

Same here - purchased FSD in March and no update yet. I'm usually the last to get the updates, so I know there is a wait for me....

You own a Tesla? and you have that gas guzzler as your avatar?
cough...wheeze....sniff...cough.....choke....
I suppose to each his own. LOL
More about confused language and folks not understanding the different notifications than misinformation.
The “software update is available” message that the phone app sends only occurs after the update has been downloaded and is ready to install, and you need WiFi to get that anytime soon.
One of the recent firmware versions introduced the additional notification you describe that occurs before the download. That’s only on the center screen in the car, and I don’t think it is entirely consistent/reliable yet.

Yup !! It has one of the best theft deterrents - a 6 speed manual transmission.

I received the notification on my phone....then I went and sat in the car to watch it download as I watched the cars WIFI data count increase. Then the data stopped and the initial "thunderous thunk" ….20 min later....finished.
Yes...I'm a nerd.
I have this message, but no amount of connecting to wifi will get it to download... tried wifi at work, hotspot on the phone and wifi at home.

I think many people are expecting smart summon to be useful. It's the same as Summon where there is no usefulness expect making YouTube video and showing strangers you can remote control a large car.
Hiwever, Autopilot is useful, and used 99% of my driving. Since V9, auto pilot is ready for prime time. No longer a gimmick compared to when I first got my Model 3. Now AP is useful.
Smart summon may take awhile where I can use it in the rain and expect to come to the door without line of sight.

Using smart summon in the rain might not be that smart right now unless you are within about 60 feet of the car....because that's about the range needed to activate it. lol
Interesting. That’s not how the phone notifications used to work.

No one is talking about this, but I think its absolutely phenomenal.
The vent feature. It lowers each window by about 1 inch to keep the car cool.
AND YOU CAN DO IT FROM YOUR PHONE.
That's phenominal as I'm always trying to vent my car at work on a 95 degree day by moving each window down....a little bit....not to far....oh wait...that's to far....up a little on that one....oh no - its going all the way up......down a little on that one......almost there......perfect!!
What would be even better ( feature request ) is to have the vent feature atomically close the windows if it starts raining.
Anywhoo….its the little things that are huge to me.

I will have had my car a year on 9/30 with FSD from the start. Car has been on Wifi since 4pm yesterday, I still have not seen any indication.
Strage how they make it seem the update will show up once it's released with Advanced, but not once have I ever received a notification very early in a release since I've owned the vehicle and that option was active.
