True, but I’ll say my issue is I don’t seem to be recieving software updates
Are you on WiFi? Or LTE?
I’m still on .34 (but so are 40+% of users according to teslafi).
Anecdotally, I also find that I usually get updates much faster if I visit a SC/connect to their WiFi.

So sorry for the utter inconvenience and time suck that this will likely become.
I'm sure I speak on behalf of most to say that we really appreciate what you (and others like you) have done for the community.

Makes you wonder what happened to "Good hacking is a gift."

I'm always on WIFI @home, I guess we'll test this theory of no software updates for a few days, before I call the SC. It will be a good test since nothing juicy is in .40 that I am aware of.
Or somehow needed a bit of homelink refinement. The AP seems to be a mixed bag but its, overall, seemingly slightly better vision-wise after the update (for me).
@BigD0g, you sure about this blacklist? Others like @verygreen (who Tesla contacted directly IIRC) are still getting updates.
FWIW, it is well known that at least @wk057 does not get updates on his blacklisted car.
Also the TMC member who opened his AP2 and posted a picture online found his car warranty blacklisted - already before he/she entered Service.
Clearly Tesla monitors.

BIgdog, that just sucks. Especially for someone who has faithfully supported the community for a long time. They could have issued a warning rather than just lowering the boom. I sincerely hope this gets resolved in your favor and they realize how much damage to their efforts this could cause. I can understand Tesla wanting to protect their internal workings but the heavy handedness is not the way to go about it.
They have now handed the "black hats" a challenge.

I’m sure of the blacklist, I’m not sure of the consequences yet. Time will tell in the near future I guess.
Actually, he prevents updates to his “special” cars. It’s not a Tesla doing it.
Be that as it may, I was not talking about those - it was Tesla doing it in his original one.
Actually, Tesla tried to downgrade his vehicle in response to him leaking info. Then Elon waded into the fight and said "good hacking is a gift" and then Tesla continued to release firmware updates to his vehicle.
Well, all that happened, except the part where Tesla continued to release firmware updates, which I distinctly remember differently. The car remained blacklisted from OTA updates for a long time, at the very least, if not forever...? I remember because there was a clear discrepancy between Elon's tweet and Tesla's actual actions.
Do you recall when he started getting OTA updates again?
Tesla eventually released OTA updates on that car (my P85D). AFAIK it receives updates normally now (I no longer own it).
My P90++ still gets updates, even... and it's probably the most heavily modified Tesla ever. I do block them from downloading/installing, but that doesn't stop the car from seeing them available occasionally.
However... I do believe my personal experience is atypical, and I know for sure that Tesla does in fact block some vehicles from receiving OTA updates. They'll still install them at the service center on these cars, but no OTAs. Their reasoning seems to vary, and there is little consistency from what I can tell.

If I receive .40 before you then you may have to take some doughnuts & bagels & biscuits to your service center and beg for mercy. I always get updates several days to a week after you. I am STILL on 2017.34.2448cfc
