Not stated on website was that the switch to prevent idle for more than 30 minutes, or the engine would shut off had to be disabled. With all the glitches, I spent about 8 hours on the update; but it does work now.

Hopefully, Tesla's download functions better.

Jon, When I did the Hydrogen Bus program for the USA and Canada, we had
the capability to upload software to the buses while they "were on the fly".

That was 20+ years ago.

Telsa causing deaths and crashing into buildings. We never had a single
software remote control issue on the Buses.

Either you know how to program properly or you don't.
