As I mentioned in post 8, my update completed successfully. However, once I initiated it, I walked away - paid no attention to it while the updated was in progress. When I checked again, maybe an hour later give or take, the car was completely off. And, when I started it, it was a normal start, with no indication that anything happened. I had to check update history to see that the update had been installed. My question is, does the car display anything while the update is in progress?

So I took a chance at updating again today. Same result, update failed and car won't start. This time I had a real battery charger hooked up to it and i don't think the update even got as far as it did the first time. Im going to leave it on the charger a little longer and after about an hour I'll try to start again.

My 2023 c8 coupe also received an Ota update today (12/17).
I didn’t see a notice of update on the screen but based on these postings I checked the settings screen for pending updates and one was there.

An OTA pop up one day last week and I decided to wait. It never popped again. I read somewhere that the temperature and a low battery could cause this. So I plugged in the battery tender until it was fully charged. On the next start the OTA popped up and the update was completed w/o any problems.
