Interestingly, the update appears to be going to all variants, including the Model S Plaid. Could this be the holiday update recently teased by Elon Musk?

The update is currently being installed, and we will update this article on the release notes are available.
UPDATE 5:46pm PST: Unfortunately this is not the holiday update, and it includes just two improvements for Model 3/Y.
The first is Driver Door Unlock Mode. When turned on, only the driver door will unlock when you approach the car.
The other is Driver Profile Improvements, which adds the ability for each profile to have its own work and home addresses in the navigation.
There is also an update for Model S/X for improvements to the rear climate zone control from the touchscreen.
