I’m curious, if I factory reset it shouldn’t it be bare bones firmware? Why would my software be any different than any other model S refresh. It may be a pain to reconfigure profiles etc but i don’t understand how my car is different and needs a patch.
Service could not fix it. States engineering is going to send me a patch OTA. Still waiting, very frustrating
I'm having the same issue, my appointment it’s tomorrow along with other small issues. After seen your post I’m starting worried my car it’s going to stay at service center for a while. How did they fix it? Did you get your car back in a day?They finally fixed it. Said they had to escalate the issue to engineering and they fixed it on their end.
Actually, it wasn’t in service for that reason. I brought it in for the time issue about a month and a half ago, they couldn’t fix it then but stated they would have to send me an OTA patch.
On the last service visit, they were going to fix a rattle and install the trunk cover I didn’t receive at delivery. While talking to the service advisor, he called over the head service mechanic to explain what they did to fix the rattle. He asked me if there was anything else I had issues with which I then brought up the time issue. He walked over to the car with me and could not fix it at that time. He asked if he could keep it one day as it was already around 5pm. I was called at around noon the next day and said everything was fixed. All he told me was he contacted “engineering” and they fixed it. I presume in California?
Weird bug that’s for sure as my gps is correct, even when I type in “where am I” into google in the browser it shows up correct.
Good luck

It worked!!!! My Model S has been on Central time since late July when I picked it up (at the delivery center in that time zone) and finally, it’s in Eastern time where it belongs!! Thank you for sharing this tip!!!

Kind of related - does yours autocorrect the clock for time zones as you travel? Mine did at first but after the first or second update, it stays on my home time zone. It does not correct when travelling from one to another.

Well my issue is not completely fixed, it's not a problem, but it might be interesting to someone else? Somewhere deep inside the car still thinks it's in PDT zone.
Our ski club has an app that tracks grooming of the ski trails so that skiers will know conditions. It reports the time a trail was last groomed. On my Android phone and my MacBook Pro the time is correct, but on the browser on the car it is an hour later- in Pacific Daylight time...the ski trail grooming app developer says: "some devices parse the last-groomed time in the device's timezone rather than the local timezone..."
