I think they'll do both things.OTA updates may happen before you get yours scheduled at the dealership. I'm sure they will do in-dealership updates for delayed deliveries before taking in cars already in customers' hands.
Obviously the dealers are required by law to do the updates prior to delivery, and since it's only two modules and would likely take less than 1 hour to do both, they could do customers cars while they are waiting (and playing with the buttons on the limited edition showroom Mach 1 selling for MSRP+25k ADM).
And given that things like having to have a 12V battery with 80% SOC before an OTA kicks off, and the fact that '21 Job 2 cars still can't schedule OTA updates for more than one day a week, etc....it's gonna be dealer techs and 'privateers' that get this done. Unless the rumored giant, universal, comprehensive, and totally all-encompassing OTA for Job 2s (cue the chorus) comes out in the very near term.
Just spitballin' here...
