Well, I had 5.11 and I just got 5.12 (1.64.39) OTA. Did others get this OTA? I stopped following this thread about 3 weeks ago.
Hmm... I held both scroll wheels for close to a minute... the center console went dark at about 15 seconds in... and by 30 seconds it started to reboot with the logo... I kept holding and the dash screen never went dark and rebooted. It did lose the odometer for a bit (does that always happen even with a short reboot of the center console?)
Is everybody seeing BOTH screens go dark with both scroll wheels held for 40 seconds?

Did the long reboot. My car is sleeping. Just doesn't want to wake up. Cell phone so has become useless. Plus random problems like "navigation system needs service", stuck slacker, etc

Are we sure that this hold-for-40-seconds reboot is really different from the regular reboot? I would think that once the regular reboot starts (after 10-15 seconds), it doesn't matter if you're still holding the buttons down for longer.
Dunno. IIRC, someone posted that Tesla Service advised them on this procedure for a separate issue. Since nothing else worked for me I decided to give it a try and low and behold my car is back to its regular sleeping pattern. Both screens and all interior lighting (at least when I did it) should remain dark after the 40 s period.
I just got this last night OTA, per normal months (it seems) after everyone else. Which isn't a bad thing.
Long reboot, both screens went dark (dash 10-15sec after main), but then instead of coming back up on reboot (when AC shut off) everything just stayed dark. However, I think that was because the timing of the reboot happened to coincide with the auto-shutdown, since I'd been sitting in the car for a few minutes.

On a different device, I've told people to hold a button for 20s to reboot, even though it actually only takes 10s, because people counting to 10 usually count quite a bit faster than real seconds. Maybe it was the same thing here - the service person said 40s just to make sure they held the buttons long enough.
This is why I asked the question. My dash screen did not "reboot"... although the odometer numbers blinked out for a bit, the rest of the dash screen (speedo, power meter, etc..) remained present the entire time. The dash did not go through the standard reboot sequence seen when you hold down both lower steering wheel buttons.

Just got it pushed to me last night. Quick update. Nothing new or obviously broken. Still need to do the 'two finger salute' for MCU & dash.

Really? The only 5.12 I had heard of was at the service center (that's where I got mine).
I got mine OTA right after a visit to the service center, but have had a couple OTA updates since...

There were a few folks in the 5.12 thread who reported getting it OTA. I believe most reported through the SC. There doesn't appear to have been a wide OTA distribution, but the various versions have been trickling out. Kind of strange also because of all the 5.12 variations.
