I am not angry that I haven't yet received 2021.44.30.15 (w/FSD Beta v10.10). I figure I am lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) to have 2021.44.30.10.
However, I
am curious. So a quick check:
- According to not a tesla app the tardy version is for all USA model-years (eligible for FSD Beta)........... √ (check)
- And my car is hypothetically eligible for several of the features............ √
- However, on TeslaFi I note that that there are, so far, fewer installs for the next-most-recent FSD Beta-containing release (2021.44.30.10)............ √
- And a quick check on TeslaScope reveals no Model X and very few Model S have received the update (within that App's sample database)............ √
Then, recalling the general visual and narrative information provided
here and
there, I realize that the facts suggest that (a) Tesla is purposely pushing this particular update slowly and cautiously, (b) apparently to mostly Models 3 and Y, and that therefore (c) I have nothing to fret over. Perhaps they've discovered some problem, or maybe the target was always Models 3 and Y? Do I wish for some explanatory communication from Tesla? You bet. But do I want some half-ass, a not-ready-for-prime-time firmware? No thank you.
It's maybe analogous to when you are tired and late and finally in the jet plane taxiing on the runway when suddenly your pilot comes on and says, "Sorry folks. We have to return to the loading gate for a quick check."
Now some people get, understandably, agitated. I get that.
But I am like, "Yes! Return to the gate, please! Fix the %^& plane rather than sending us up 25,000 feet with lingering doubts!"
In conclusion, Tesla works in mysterious ways. But me, I'd rather that the Company
not dump a suspect firmware into my baby until they've tested it thoroughly on Model X in Moscow and Beijing first--you know what I mean?
