my car's pulled 5.3GB this week but nothing has installed yet. I'm hoping I get 2019.5.x soon. Hopefully tonight, as I've got about a 350 mile round trip to do tomorrow.

None of the "YouTubers" that I follow have gotten the release yet, so that theory is shot as well.

5.3 GB is too large for an OTA update. I'm 99% that it was the onboard maps that were updated. It's done silently in the background so there's no user indication that it was done.
On the S, we have two screens and IIRC, the large screen displays the online maps (downloading the tiles as they needed) and the offline maps are used for the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Obviously, the 3 only has the one screen and doesn't show both.
In your Navigation settings, there should be an option for "offline routing" or something like that. You might check and see if it is checked for you. If so, you should still be able to navigate when in the mountains, even if no map tiles are displayed.
I am not in the early access program, but I received 2019.5.3 over the weekend and received 2019.5.4 this morning. It looks like the closing of the trunk no longer sets off the Sentry Mode alarm as it did before. The blind spot chime seems to only go off when you are in the process of changing lanes while a car is in your blind spot. That is what I noticed in 2019.5.3, and it seems the same way in 2019.5.4. I think it should alert you even before starting the lane change.
Don't be silly. Tesla gets plenty wrong. For example, 2019.5.0, 2019.5.1, 2019.5.2, and 2019.5.3.
Several people just pointed out that a bunch of us "nobodies" here in the thread have reported getting it, and several Influencers seem not to have gotten it. I'll just ad this: the simple truth is that most of the random people who got this release first aren't going to run here and report it.
These reinforce the rollout process - it's not random new people getting 5.4. It's people who just got 5.3, which turned out to have some sort of problem, and they want to address it right away.
We'll see how big it ramps - I hope 5.4 starts to go wide.
I'm 99.9% certain there's only one maps download with the map data. You're talking about code that can render teh map two different ways on two different screens, but they'll rely on the same set of map data.
The online maps tiles download as you are driving around. The offline maps are about 5.3 GB in the US and are currently only downloaded a couple times per year, at most. On my former S 90D, I had three sets of offline maps in two years.
I haven't been out to my car yet to confirm but I think I got that backwards. I think it uses the offline maps for routing but there's an option for online routing where it can take current traffic and other variables into account.
Has anyone gotten the Sentry Mode update that isn't in California?
If we're going to argue that it's a rolling release, and not a beta test/validation then there needs to be evidence that people outside of California are getting it with the same likelihood as someone in Cali.
I do expect Cali to have a higher number simply due the population density of Tesla's there.
I don't believe it's a rolling release. I think Tesla is simply using feedback from people in California to make changes/correction.

So this part is a little odd to me. The sound/alarm that happens there is a vehicle in your blind spot and you are changing lanes, isn't that just the side collision warning?
Did they change the alarm sound or is that just the side collision warning going off? The blind spot chime should come on when you turn on the turn signal and there is a vehicle there, which I believe is how most other manufacturers implement it.
Nope, I'm just trying to see if anyone has gotten it outside of Cali.
To support the idea that it's a rolling release. With a rolling release you wouldn't just test in one area as you wouldn't capture differences in other areas. Sure you'd still release to California people first as that's like the mothership. But, you'd quickly sprinkle some past California.
My understanding is its supposed to work the way you described (as soon as the turn signal comes on), but it simply doesn't work correctly right now.

Interesting. I guess they went "ghetto" with Google maps to save money but this mapping system is not optimal because right when you are in the middle of nowhere when you need the map the most, it goes away. They need to move away from Google then, and buy their maps from a company that can also distribute offline. Maybe Bing maps.

Yeah. I posted a second message correcting myself. It will default to offline map rotting unless you have Online Routing enabled.

Cool. Looking forward to the update so I don't have to keep manually unlocking the car if I want to get into the trunk.
