That’s gonna be really hard as I assume you don’t want to leave your phone and hotspot on in your car until Tesla tries to push the release, which can take days. You’ll eventually get a 4g push ota, but it’ll take a while. Its always cool to get the updates, but it’s rarely impactful to your basic transportation needs, so maybe don’t sweat the wait if you can’t find WiFi.
random question: my last two software updates, done at home with wifi connection, have left me with no wifi connection for up to two days at a time once the update has completed...has anyone else experienced this? I get no traffic data nor any streaming capabilities, and I am unaware of a fix other than waiting until it decides to work again.
I have not heard of that exactly. Sometimes mine drops but only because my WiFi router is quite a ways away from the vehicle. Does your network show when you tap the signal symbol? Could you try deleting the connection and add it again?

No need to leave the phone anymore. The car will notify you when there is an update ready to download at which point you can turn on the hotspot - depending on the download speed and size of the download, it could take some time to download but we are talking under an hour, not days.

Is it WiFi or cellular connection? For WiFi, try turning WiFi off and on again. Have you tried rebooting (either two button reboot or Power Off)?
I thought the phone would only notify once it has been downloaded to the car and waiting for install. Unless this is different with V10.
I’m more worried now. Seems like owners with wifi access are the priority. Do they have wifis at supercharging stations? I’m getting antsy
usually Tesla only sends big updates via WiFi and important updates via cell and WiFi.

With V10, now the phone will also notify you there is an update to download, however, it has been available through the center screen for some time now (was already available on 2019.16). Touch Controls > Software, where a "New Update Available" window appears if your vehicle detects a new software update. I believe the top corner of the screen will also show a down pointing amber arrow when the car has an update waiting to download.
(The picture I found is for navigation but similar picture for software updates)

Disagree. This morning (120 plus miles) I had several nags while BOTH hands were on the wheel at 9-3. This pretty much happens daily.
You will get nags with both hands on the wheel. You need to unbalance your hold so that it applies a little constant torque on the wheel.
If 4 o'clock is enough to break through the resistance and disengage AP, try 5 o'clock or anywhere between 6 and 3 (or 6 and 9).
Thats because the way you are holding it, it doesn’t create constant turning torque on the wheel. Hold with one hand.
Used it today for 60 miles and not one nag.

Not yet, though that is the long term plan. If you have a Tesla service center nearby, they do. Others who live off the LtE coverage will need to say how delayed updates really are. Personally i use a range extender to my detached garage and it works well.
This is unrelated to the software. It’s a message everyone Automatically gets in their inbox, more like a advertisement.

Yeah the annoying thing with the AP nag is that if you drive properly and have a balanced 3 and 9 hold on the wheel, it won't detect your hands since there is no torque on the wheel and acts like you aren't touching it. Because of this I've adopted a very poor driving habit when using AP of only using one hand lazily rested at the 5 position. This works very well, but isn't so great if you want good control of the vehicle.
