@chrisk I have the same text version as you. Screenshot shows the rest of the Version information. Gracenote will be different per country.

Found this typo after yesterday’s firmware update on the central display Shortcuts buttons page.
Instrument cluster butto
(believe they meant button);)

it could be that there’s a max of 24 characters in that field.

its the kind of UI design I expect of a first year code/developer employee or student. Not a multi-billion $ car company, pushing the limits of the next generation of driving experience forward.

But then again, it drives like a Porsche so who cares about UI design... #LightSarcasm

I seem to have gotten the update as well and now I have an Instrument cluster butto option as well. Possibly coincidentally or not, weather is not working today. The rest of Connect services seem fine. Weather looks like it tries to load then I just get a blank screen. I have tried it only once, without turning off the car or any other steps that might restart PCM to fix it.

I do not believe 24 characters is the issue. Unless it is specific to the page. As you can see in this attachment line 1 and line 2

have more than 24 characters.

I don't
It might still be some kind of max length issue. The screen where this typo happens has two columns with text and it is possible each column has a max length so they don't overlap with each other.

Does anyone know what the UI software version is for the 2021 models?
Mine is a MY21

I also see the park assist wheel on boot sequence in the lower console (where the parking camera button lives) although only momentarily.

I also have only two lines of icons on the main homepage rather than 2 and a bit.

It looks like OTA updates are just used for map updates so far on MY 2020 and the software they run is behind the current production version in 2021s and unclear if it will ever be updated. Nothing like Tesla for sure.
