I've been on 2018.12 for 3 weeks now and have yet to get new maps. The car is bathed in great wifi for most of the day... I've rebooted it several times in the last few weeks.

I’m from Colorado and I originally reported NO. Yesterday, I got the new map. I went back to edit and I see no such option. Then, I read here that it can be be done by adding again with YES using the same email. Well, I tired that and it’s still showing my original report.

Well I’m going to give this a try. I’ve been on either 2018.12 or 2018.14.2 for 3 weeks now. Maybe it will Work some magic for me.Given the generally mystery around how cars are selected to receive firmware updates, I thought I'd start more rumours in this thread about how I may have cajoled my car into downloading the new maps here in the UK. I was slightly obsessive! But please bear in mind, I have absolutely no idea whether I was just lucky or if any of these things have any bearing on whether I received these updates.
Hope that helps somebody.
- I made sure my car had a good Wifi connection (following all the advice across this forum)
- As I always do after a firmware update, when I received 2018.14.2 I rebooted the car. This includes both the main screen (using in the two scroll wheel buttons) while pressing the brake pedal until after the screen re-appears after the Tesla logo and also a separate reboot of instrument cluster screen (top two buttons on the steering wheel)
- I also did a complete power down of the car after the reboot (Controls -> E-Brake/Power Off -> Power Off)
- I monitored the car's network traffic and after this saw that the car was downloading approximately 300 megabytes per hour. This typically saw the car download data in chunks of about 5-10MB at about 3 megabits per second every 2 minutes or so. There were gaps of no data being transferred for the 2 minutes or so as well.
- A number of times I noticed that the car was not downloading anything for a good few hours and at one time the app also would not connect to the car. When this happened I would go to the car and repeat step 2 (and maybe 3) to reboot the car
- After 2-3 days about 9GB of data had been downloaded to the car. The car then stopped downloading data for the final time and I went down to the car to reboot again as per 5 and found that the car started a reboot as I entered the car. There was no notification of the new maps update, just the standard release notes. I only realised I had the maps update when I started driving.
- And just to completely throw an idea out there, I have also done a large amount of mileage driving across Europe and UK over the last few months. Unfortunately, I don't have any big trips coming up any time soon to test out the new maps!
You get an addition to the release notes talking about the maps. And I believe there’s a popup also.Is there a notification when you get into the car that the new maps have arrived? If not, what’s the best way to determine that’s happened?
When you are talking about the new maps, just to clarify, are we talking about the Vector Maps?
I believe I have the new maps, but I still have tiles loading when zooming in/out, or moving around...
Got the new maps Friday on my X in Utah. Before that I got the 2018.12 update two weeks ago.
I got 2018.12 on the S four weeks ago and have yet to get the new maps on that car.
Me posting this must've triggered something as when I got into the S this morning I got the "new nav prompt" message

Thanks!! I am now checking your map 5 times a day to see if any Michigan users have received the new Map updates rather than checking my router 5 times a day to see if I got a 5 gig download.
