Tesla’s 2020.44 software update started rolling out tonight in the United States.
According to @TeslaFi, this release was detected on a single Model 3 Performance in California, that happens to be using the service. Teslascope, a similar stats tracking service for Tesla owners, did not detect any vehicles receiving this 2020.44 update yet.
Tesla is currently running a 2020.40.8.11 update for Full Self-Driving beta testers, so the release of 20.44 may indicate an update of significance. But what’s new remains to be seen.
This must be Elon's

Spotify Improvements
Spotify has been updated to make it easier to find and play content from your library, which now also includes collaborative playlists and podcasts. With gapless playback, you can enjoy playlists without disruption in between tracks. A Spotify home tab has been added to help you discover new content which is customized based on your listening preferences. Spotify also syncs with other devices that are logged in, making it easier to control what playing in the car from the Spotify mobile app.
Media Search Improvements
The media search results are now rearranged for easier viewing. Results now are also displayed based on the media source you are actively using, highlighting and making it more convenient to find what you are looking for.
Search results when searching for specific items via voice has also been improved to show you more of what you are looking for.
Media Sources
You can now show or hide your preferred media sources in the Media Player. Go to the Audio Settings > Sources to hide the sources that you do not use. Media search results will also exclude all hidden media sources.
Launch Mode Improvements (Model S and Model X Raven only), thanks Teslascope:
In Launch Mode, refined motor controls have increased your car’s high speed power, improving acceleration.
To initiate Launch mode, first enable Insane+ acceleration by tapping Controls > Driving > Acceleration > Insane+ and follow the instructions displayed by tapping the “How to use Launch Mode” link.
Voice Command Language
You can now select a voice command language different than the touchscreen language via Controls > Display > Voice recognition.
