advanced vs. standard software updates

[worldtraveller]

What are the tradeoffs between advanced and standard software updates? I have a late-2023 Model S.

I am wondering if there is risk of having a buggy update if receiving it at the early stage of rollouts.

That button is ~95% placebo.

Presuming it does actually do what it states and puts you in the earlier part of a version rollout, the downside is certainly exactly what you've already identified - the earlier you install the more likely you are to be an un-enlisted Tesla beta tester.

No matter how long you wait, you will get buggy software updates. Particularly infotainment and human interface changes become buggy when they worked before, or are buggy from the start until many updates later. It is your choice. Perhaps not setting this to advanced will provide a bit less aggravation, or delay the aggravation, but you have already agreed to adopt Tesla's way of doing things by buying the car. Submit now, or later.

I'm on the advanced tab and still on 2023.44.30.8 so a Jan 4th version.
