I'm just curious of what "holiday" we will get the holiday update for our CTs.

I think Santa will be here before the update

It’s not just CT, if you’re ahead of the FSD version built into the holiday update, you’re not going to get it until they produce a version with your FSD build or higher. Same as it ever was.

The holiday update (branch 2024.44.25.2) is pushing out FSD v12.5.4.2. If you’re ahead of that (and we all are - v12.5.5.3), no soup for you! Yet.

If past is prologue though, it’s really unusual for them to not get all branches set up with the holiday update before the new year starts.

I was hoping we'd have another thing to have to wait for. I was starting to get TOO satisfied after FSD and my wheel covers finally arrived. Like what is this... a complete vehicle? No!

WHERE'S MY HOLIDAY UPDATE, ELON!!!!?? I need my Ode to Castlevania update for Vampire Survivors!!

Sad to hear we may not get the holiday update during the holidays. Starting to feel like my CT is afair headed b@stard step-child…

I am (im)patiently waiting for my Lightbar AND the holiday update…

The holiday update is about the entertainment system and not about the FSD computer, isn’t it? They can deploy it to any vehicle. Now that S3XY vehicles have it on hw3 and hw4 maybe we will get it soon.

I'm sure it will be here by Christmas. It's definitely funny that the CT is last to get everything being the latest and greatest hardware.

it’s not about which car or hardware you’re on, it’s about which firmware/FSD your individual vehicle is on.

If you’re ahead of the FSD version that ships with it you don’t get it. My Model X and my Model S Plaid are both on FSD v12.5.6.4 (which is the newest version of v12) that’s firmware 2024.33.40⁩. And my CT, just like yours, is firmware 2024.39.5; FSD v12.5.5.3.

As I said above, if your firmware/FSD version is ahead of what’s going out in the holiday update it doesn’t matter whether you have a S3XY or CT you will not be getting that update.

Think of it this way, you will never have both the latest and greatest FSD and the holiday update. It never works that way.

Choose one! Dirty Tesla nodded at this fact in one of his recent videos when he got v13. He noted that, “well I’m not going to have the holiday update but I’ll trade that for v12.x or v13 any day.” He knew immediately that he was not going to get the holiday update (and still does not have it) because it’s only coming out for those who are on FSD v12.5.4.2 or lower.

So it’s not about what car you have it’s about what firmware is stable enough/widespread enough or whatever I don’t know the exact criteria that is existent when they start working on/finish the holiday update.

This is the way it always works (when they add new features) people are just more keenly aware of it when the holiday update comes out because everybody wants to get it.

But you can take this to the bank: if there is a cool update that comes out on Teslas and your firmware version is ahead of where that update launches, you will not have it first and the further out you’re ahead, generally the longer you’ll have to wait.

There may be some nuances that I have wrong, but this is 100% been my experience and understanding of that experience since 2019.

You’ve been 100% right before. And that would be consistent with my experience that they pretty much never miss in making sure virtually everyone gets the holiday update before the end of the year, and usually before Christmas.

But what are we even talking about?

Has anyone activated santa mode

 

[Thunderstrike44]

Nothing here yet either, waiting......

You don’t need the holiday update for that. All you need to do is hit the microphone button and say ho ho ho. It’s already in your CT it’s just not properly implemented in toybox. The holiday update is going to give you some little tweaks but it’s been there all along.
