In Tucson the EV density increases dramatically from the less affluent to the more affluent areas of town. Hopefully that will change as prices come down.
In mid 2022 I could go weeks between local MME sightings. Now I see them almost every outing 🙂.
My MME seems to keep itself close to current on the updates. I don't have home Internet except when I occasionally turn my phone into a hotspot for short periods and for reasons other than grabbing updates for Sun Cien (my MME). I think it is downloading when I'm out and about and then installs...

The most recent update has been causing issues for quite a few people. Evidently it requires a high state of charge on the 12 volt auxillary AGM battery to run. I needed to charge the main battery to 99% before it could successfully complete.
The very uninformative error messages didn't help...
What worked for me was charging the car to the max it would go in a semi-reasonable amount of time (mine got to 99%) and then telling it to UPDATE NOW. This is a common current complaint on the forum for that update.
Finally managed to get the update by charging to 99%, a change level I haven't been at since driving the car home from the dealer. The last part of the charge was very slow and the charger was pushing about 3 amps at 240 volts after starting at 40 amps at the beginning of the charge. I also...
