Tesla does well with OTA, but not everyone gets them at the same time, and you never know when you will get them. But the problems with my X extremely outweighed that feature. Just to give you one example; the only type of cruise control on a Tesla is Adaptive. So if the camera is dirty at all or if there is heavy rain or snow CC doesn't work at all. And even if it was a sunny day my car would just slow down all the sudden. No cars, nothing in front of me. I'm giving that example because I use that feature all the time. It worked great in my Jeep GC. There are going to be issues with any car, but OTA updates certainly didn't make all those issues any better. Unfortunately.
I don't have those issues in my Model S, maybe specific to your X, but certainly not symptomatic of the brand entirely.

My husband has an s and he has those issues. Not as much as I did but he does. Other friends have same issues and they say it isn't as bad with ap1. Ap2 seems to have the most issues in my experience.

BMW Blog's report on the OTA release includes a report that yesterday's activation includes an "Intelligent Personal Assistant".

It seems to be referring to the "Hey BMW" function, already on the X7.

Still no OTA. Went from .45 to .48 after visit to dealer. Can't tell what's new. Still don't have the 3 "new" apps.
