This is pure terminology as I made clear. Elon has promised a "significant update" for the holidays. I cannot find a
single example where he referred to this update as "V11". In fact, the only references I can find are to
the FSD work being the "V11" update based on presentations way back at the beginning of the year. So we have:
-- A thread about "major software rewrite"
-- A thread about "V11"
-- Various threads about "the holiday update"
-- Various threads about "FSD"
.. and people confusing and conflating
some combinations of the above to be the same thing, and joining the dots in a more or less random fashion. My posts were designed to caution people about mixing up "holiday update" with "wide FSD release" and/or "major software rewrite". You yourself seem to have done that by conflating my posts about "V11" to refer to the holiday release (they do not).
In all probability, we are going to get a bunch of "nice" stuff in a holiday release. I don't think anyone knows what that "nice stuff" will be; it
might include some of the UI rework we are seeing in the FSD beta, but I
very much doubt that it will include a wider roll-out of FSD beta itself.
Will this holiday release be called "V11"? Very unlikely, as Tesla historically bump major version numbers when they have a significant impact on the car features. In all probability, V11 will be the version used when FSD goes out for wider distribution sometime in the new year (though my guess is it will still be beta).
Of course this is all speculation, and we will only know as things actually unfold.
Clear?
