There is a huge difference between fixing known existing bugs/new features and introducing bugs that did not exist before. The latter shows gross incompetence that should not happen at a company that manufacturers cars, period.

Looks like .46 is installing quickly to D models. Anybody had a chance to see if it fixed this issue. I installed mine at 2:50 today but haven't had a chance to drive it.

I disagree. The 'bug' was likely an unexpected side effect of a change intended to improve performance or - more likely - reduce power consumption. It was never a safety issue, it was never a problem that would cause more wear and tear. In fact, many people didn't even notice it. It was (apparently) fixed very promptly.
Compare this to life/limb issues like faulty air bags and ignition switches and your concern seems somewhat absurd...
I'm actually somewhat happy to see this because is shows that Tesla is always looking for improvements AND they're able to react to problems in very short order. 10 days... pretty quick. They figured out the issue and fixed it, rather than simply rolling back to the previous version. It took me three months to get M-B to fix a problem they caused with a firmware 'upgrade' to the sound system... their solution was to replace the entire unit... LOL

Good News and an update on my SHUDDERING problem. Went in for service on 28August2015 (installation of Center Console) and mentioned the 4MPH shuddering issue. As has been mentioned in the blogs, I was told it was a known issue, but that my experience would be reported to Tesla/Engineering so that I'd be pushed the software upgrade when available. On 29August, I received notification that a software upgrade was available for my vehicle and scheduled it for later that night. Upgrade to version 2.5.46 was installed overnight and VOILA, on 29August - NO MORE SHUDDERING. Thank you Tesla for being an amazing car company. Friends and colleagues are absolutely IN AWE when I relate the story. Problem? SOLVED!

I stopped by my Service Center today because I had not received the update over the air. They sideloaded it and it's updating this evening.I just noticed this behavior on my 85D recently, looking forward to getting .46. Do you think if I called Tesla service they could push the update to me on demand? Boy am I glad it's a software fix

I think I'm experiencing this problem but I have range mode set to off in my P85D (with creep mode off). I also see the traction control lights go on sometimes when I accelerate out of it.

Yes, it would occur with range mode off.
I saw the way Duma worded it in the other thread, and thought that wording might confuse you.
The only thing different about your situation seems to be the traction control light.
Turning range mode on, even if only as a test, should make the shudder go away.
