FWIW, I was holding off from updating mine even though I have a few actual issues (my s/w is quite a bit older), because I didn't want to lose my car for a day and didn't want to introduce new problems.

Yes, these updates apparently take 6h, although I don't quite understand why. I understand that they don't want everyone clogging up their garage for software updates. Maybe they could make it easier somehow, like you could download it over the air, same way you update your cell phone stuff. Although I guess to get a firmware update on a phone you have to take it in. Anyone know what they charge you if you pay for this? 6h of labor plus the software?
