Updating software whilst charging?

[Nick77]

Just wondering if this is possible as I have a pending update to install whilst sitting here charging. It will finish before the charging ends.

I'm guessing no, but thought I'd ask.

Thanks. Thought that would be the case.

So the answer is yes: The software can do the updating whether you are charging or not. The charging does not prevent the update from doing its job. It's the reverse: The update would stop the charging until the updating finishes its job.

When the updating process stops the charging, it's possible that since the car is still plugged in, Tesla might charge the Supercharger idle fee if the duration meets the idle criteria.
