It might be a local dealer decision to hold the updates if they happened to have many issues but it might not be a global stop.

A lot
"My dealer told me "they don't drive off the lot anymore"

"There are always stupid people who say stupid things. If you suspect everyone, you are no better".
Well, haha, I'm the idiot that drove off the lot without any issue.
So far so good.

It's software.
It happens.
Was it the data?
Was it the car?
Was it the procedure?
Was it the equipment?
It's just guessing and that's what your dealer is doing.
I hope they find the issue.

MY '21 updated a week ago, no issues
if I was guessing, and there is a bit of that going on, it might my the MY '20 having issues.

Please explain.
I've seen zero issues so far on MY20 cars (including mine).
Why is everyone guessing?
In my profession guessing is the same as getting fired.
Why are we guessing here?
It would be nice to see some facts.

for sure they will. As said: I only posted what my dealer told me.

I spoke to dealer today and he stated once the car arrives at their premises further updates will be required.

Car completed production on 19th March. These updates were available then so why not just upload it to the equipment during manufacture.

A bit frustrating.

That’s disappointing. Mine just finished on 3/30 and I was sure I missed this update fiasco. Now I’m worried.

First you said it was your friend, now it is the dealer. Is the dealer also your friend or did you hear this from two people.

Since people have had their cars successfully updated without getting "bricked" it sounds like the "update withdrawn" is fake news.

Maybe the dealer bricked a car and decided not to do anymore. Or maybe your friend did.

6 days and 450 miles on my 2

let's not attach the OP. I am sure he had the good intention to inform the group of what the dealer told him and he probably does not have more info.
I appreciate his update, but I am also having questions and I am sure we will eventually find out what is going on.
