Downloading now. I wasn't having any issues with the previous version so I'll be curious to see what changes.

Was just offered 2020.8.3....

Is there anyway to force an update? I've been stuck on 2020.8.3 for over a week now but have only had the car for 2 weeks
Not really. In extreme cases you can put in a service ticket on the App and ask for a software update.
But 2020.8.3 is really pretty new. Folks with new cars often go a few weeks before getting off the factory firmware version, which apparently you have already.
I went for three month without an update a couple years ago, and even with the new faster pace two weeks on a version isn’t unusual.

You can ask via a service request. I've done it a couple of times and they push the update to my car within hours. Did it yesterday and also received 2020.8.3. In the service notes from Tesla they said that I now have the latest firmware for my particular VIN. 2018 LR RWD Model 3.

Thanks guys. I'll just have to be patient. Not easy though when I see all the reports on 2020.12.5
Get used to it. Some times you will get update almost right away and other times it will seem like you are stuck on an older version forever. There is NO method to the madness of getting an update.
Being on the same version for a week is hardly "stuck" 
For reference, here are my update stats from the last two years.
Average of 14 days between updates. Average of 2 days from version discovery to install. It has been 11 days since your last update

So you went from the 2020.8 stream of updates, to the 2020.12 stream. These two seemed to be running in parallel for a while.and then about an hour later....2020.12.5. Exciting.
Hopefully this suggests they are now merging.

My car has been asleep for over a week now because I've been stuck at home. I just woke it up for the first time yesterday because I finally got approval to turn on my solar panels and I had to set those up in the app which defaulted to my car and woke it up before I could switch over.
If the car is always asleep I wonder if it'll ever update?

Mine hadn’t been driven in several days when it offered me the 12.5 update yesterday. I don’t remember if there might have been minor events that woke it while parked.

I was stuck on 8.1 for three weeks while reading about all the new versions out there. For no good reason, I switched the car’s ‘update’ switch from ‘advanced’ to ‘normal’ (I forget the actual terms used in the car) and boom! the car said I could update to 8.3 toot sweet.
I suspect I’ll have to live with that version for a while since I hear that 12.5 is strictly for Yanks so us Canucks will have to wait it out.
