I was thinking business weeks, but fair enough. I’m sure I can find some additional BS to stretch it out until Saturday...something something. Leap Year, solar flairs, lunar calendar, fake news.

I don't see why they wouldn't get them. The MCU is essentially the same between AP1 and AP2/AP2.5 cars, up until March, 2018 when MCU2 came out.
Based on past major release roll-outs, it's more likely that once V9 starts being distributed, it will take weeks to months before owners see it in their cars, following what will appear to be a seemingly random sequence for distributing the update.
And, unless Tesla has made improvements in their software development and testing process, we're likely to see major issues encountered during the early installs - causing the process to pause while they fix those issues before resuming the process.
One of the features Musk promised months ago was the ability for owners to request an update be installed in their car - if/when we get this feature, then owners would have a little more control over when they would see the software update, and could (theoretically) request the update be sent to the car quickly after it first starts getting distributed. Will we see this as part of V9?

As much as I want v.9, you have a point. I will take it when it arrives and if bug fixes happen along the way before I get it, all the better I guess. It's not like we can't live vicariously through the internet and watch the roll out in real time.
That said, my response it what people that don't have it say. If I get it early, you waiters are on your own.
I guess this wouldn't be possible for the first v9 anyway and you would need the request feature to request the next version...

I was making the argument yesterday that this release would be different because Tesla would push it to as many cars as possible so they could recognize additional revenue for the EAP features they are enabling (on-ramp to off-ramp driving).
But now I’ve read that feature is only available for HW 2.5 cars, so I’ll change my answer that the rollout will go like mad to THOSE cars only as a priority. The more of those they can get to owners who bought EAP, the more revenue they can recognize. Say 75,000 cars where they could recognize $1,000 of EAP revenue would be huge for Q3 results.

Where are you reading that? Everything I have read, based on this, said AP2 and AP2.5, in the US:
The feature that is limited to AP2.5 is the dashcam feature.

Tesla Version 9.0: all new features based on your Model 3, Model S, or Model X generation
It was in this electrek article. But the article has since been updated - Fred had the dates wrong. Whew! 2.0 and 2.5 get the new EAP feature to drive on the highway.

Reported in the Model S forum (Software Update 2018.39 4a3910f (plus other v9.0 early access builds) - as a link from Reddit) it will be mass-deployed Monday via WiFi. Not sure if this is true.

If it was Friday and you aren’t in the Early Tester program, it was probably v18.36 (unless you already have that firmware?).

I'm not in the beta program. The car was on 18.36.2 going in; it's still at the SC with mobile access disabled

So your S was V9 as of last week? And you're not a beta tester??

I can’t confirm that. I was on 36.2 when I dropped off for service and got a software update available notification. I assumed it was V9, but don’t know for aure
