Update Observation

[dusty22]

I sometimes go to software to check if an update is available. It usually scans for a few seconds and comes back with 'Your car is up to date' at the date and time it is checked.

However, the last couple of days I tried this, there is no scanning for an update and the date and time stays at the date/time of my last update.

There is a big push right now on the 20.9 update. My thought is that Tesla has shut down update scans during heavy update activity and only gives you your last update date/time in order to not overload the system with unnecessary update scanning. Just a theory at best.

Yeah, I had this problem. Kept saying last update July 17th when I installed 20.8. I did the two button reboot and it immediately pulled down 20.9

I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you last checked for updates less than 24 hours ago, it won’t check again, but I’m not sure about that.

I had the same issue on 2023.20.8. Last software check date was several days behind. Did the scroll button reboot, checked for software updates again, and it immediately began downloading 2023.20.9.

We have two Teslas. At least once one of the two went for days showing an old "as of" date/time, while the other continued to honor the usual 24-hour check allowed cycle. I eventually did a two-button reset, and promptly was shown a current "as of" date/time. Unlike two others posting on this thread I did not immediately get an actual new download, but I did exit the persistent "not trying" state.

I doubt Tesla deliberately puts the whole fleet into that state to reduce server load.

I noticed this behavior with 2023.20.9, software update check doesn't seem to do anything
I've rebooted several times, well past the 24 hr check limit

Manual check software update: Your car software is up to date as of 1 Aug 6:26 pm
The time/date doesn't change and it's checked instantly, pretty obvious it's not doing anything
If I reboot the car and check software update, the date and time changes to the date/time of the reboot
But again it already has the new date/time, manual software update check doesn't do anything
Previously it would take a few minutes to check and return: your car software is up to date as of (current date/time)
providing it was 24 hrs since the last check

I appreciate this post. As of 9 August my software indicated it was current to 31 July. Today, 10 August, I clicked the two buttons on the steering wheel. Now it shows my software is complete as of this date. Thanks to all.

Clicking the two buttons doesn't always work. For sometime now my software indicated it was current as of 18 August. And this after I turn off the car three times by using the two buttons. Any suggestions? Or does this warrant a visit to the service center?

Have patience, mine was stuck on a date too. A couple of days ago I cbecked again and the latest update started to download. I never touched the 2 buttons.

Just a got a notification on my phone that I got an update o 9/15/2023 I schedule to have it installed tonight. Read the release note and it's pretty much FSD related.

I'm responding to my own post. As of this date my software still indicates it is current as of 18 August. I am patient.

I've been checking every other day or so. My car says it is current as of Sept 15. I'm wondering if many of us are experiencing the same thing. Perhaps Tesla stops update scans in some regions or for some car models at the same time? It seems to happen during big update pushes. I'm in N.Y. and have a 22 M3 LR AWD on 26.9

I got two updates already since I got mine only July 25th.

No one really knows the algorithm Tesla uses to push updates.
