I am going to guess that .41 is exactly the same, probably a bug fix from .40. I am on .34

Basically, you don't. Firmware updates are basically a black magic -- you just get them when they come. Complaining really won't get you anywhere or your firmware updated faster. I'm still on .36 and fine with that. I know eventually my car will be updated.
Totally normal. That's like 66% of the TeslaFi fleet, including me as well. Part of the Tesla ownership experience is being both at the head end and tail end of new update rollouts from time to time. It almost never means there's anything wrong with your car, it just means Tesla doesn't have the confidence yet to push out the update to everyone and is still doing a limited rollout. That can sometimes take a month or even longer.
My jump was from 2017.28 to 2017.34 and that happened in week 36, so by the time I got .34 I was already reading about the supercharger power update.
But when I got 17.17.4, that literally came at the same time the first 5 reports showed up on TeslaFi. I guess I won the lottery there, but how soon you get an update is mostly luck, unless you want to make pretend service appointments to get them to push newer updates to you (please don't, causing service center congestion for fellow owners is not cool)

Yes that is the James Bond Easter Egg. To toggle it, press the 'T' at the top center of the screen and hold it for 5 seconds or so until you see a ripple effect. Let go and a password box will show up. Enter 007 as the password.
Bring up the picture of your car by pressing the T at the top. At the top of the window describing your car are 3 horizontal lines which are a slider - touch and drag it down to slide your car detail window down. Now you'll see all the easter eggs there. This is now toggle - you can simply tap on the easter egg button for james bond to enable OR tap on it again to disable it. Same with all the easter eggs.
The easter egg container now opens automatically without sliding the three horizontal bar tab.
Mine did for a while with .34 and then went back to hiding on the next update since I'm on .36.

Being able to keep the car cool is going to be huge for my frequent wine country trips. I'm always freaking out trying to find shade in winery parking lots.
Both of the cars I’ve seen recent (mine on 17.38 and loaner on 17.38.4) do this. The version number comes up, and a second later, the egg holder appears.
So, perhaps that ‘bug’ was patched on 38? Even the egg features have bugs...
I asked my service advisor to push an update to my car, he did and I received the update a few hours later.
I've only driven it around town so far and while it feels "different" I'm loathe to call its behaviour "better" unfortunately. It seems even more reluctant to make calls hesitating when there's nothing around except an incline in the road and it aborted 5 times in 10 minutes (though I'm consistently putting it into adversarial situations to test its limits and stress it.)
I'm guessing this version is being rolled out widely because it addresses the wifi security issue more than anything else? Though the update version predates the public announcement of the wifi hack but many insiders working on operating system internals already knew about it and were working on fixes. If not, then we may see another sudden widespread release.
Can you folks talking about version ‘0.40....’ post a screenshot? There is no such thing anywhere I can find a record of. It’s 2017.40.1 with the useless hashcode at the end, is the only thing close. Where are you seeing the ‘0.40’ number?
There is also a 2017.40 and a 2017.41.
There is also a 2017.40 and a 2017.41.
by 0.40 we mean 2017.40.1 e2* . The zero was confusing indeed and was never there.
Yeah, that has never been a standard. . I’ve been using 17.40.1 as we all know what century we are in, and the hashcode adds nothing to the name (and we still don’t know why Tesla even includes it for us). 17.40.1 is a unique name for the release.
Thanks for clarifying!
