Can I speed up firmware updates for my car?
In short not really but there are a few simple tips that might speed things up:
- If you’ve already got a software update available on your car you will see a 2-minute countdown before it starts, if you tap this countdown timer multiple times in quick succession it will drop from 2 minutes to 0:01
- If you’ve not got the latest software update it will eventually come to your car, make sure the car has a good Wifi or 3G/4G signal and that will speed things up.
- If you really want the latest software update (for some reason) you might have better luck connecting to a service centres Wifi, often software updates will be pushed to all cars at service locations to speed things up for the techs working on cars.
How do I find which firmware I’m running?
Pressing the Tesla logo on the 17″ screen brings up an image of your car, showing your VIN#, firmware version, and most recent firmware release notes. You can also find this information out on the Tesla mobile app.
