I took delivery this afternoon. It's running software version 1.0, so it doesn't have the fixes, Android Auto, etc from newer software versions. It also doesn't have mobile data active yet. This apparently comes after they send delivery confirmation through to BYD and the mothership acknowledges that the car belongs to a customer now. Trying to update it on wifi doesn't work, it just claims it's on the current version.
