If you have an older Tesla - be very wary about updating your firmware or even getting any recall work done. If something goes wrong, it apparently is the fault of the customer. Once Tesla updates any hardware, apparently your car is old and obsolete.
I have a 2015 P85DL with about 75K miles.
After doing the eMMC recall; I had an errors on the screen when I picked up the car. Was told it was normal. Then I started getting center display unavailable errors and the car taking over 10 minutes to go into drive with the error persisting on the screen. While the Tesla app shows my car and range, I can also sometimes no longer interact with the car. I was told that it was my choice to perform the recall and firmware updates, so apparently this issue is my fault for applying it to such an “old” car (older MCU hardware). They said my car is functioning totally fine, over 10 minutes on occasion (so far twice in 10 days - probably only 200 miles of driving) to be able to drive is just an inconvenience, and when this occurs to ignore the error message that persists when I finally can drive off. We haven't driven much the past few weeks so I really don't know how often this will actually reoccur. Tesla is supposedly working on another “software” update and at some point indeterminate point in the future, it may be fixed - but remember your car is really old and computer's get slower over time. However, I found another discussion with the exact same symptoms from the middle of last year (they had their computer replaced to fix it) - so even if it is software clearly this is not a priority.
Am I unreasonable for being very pissed off right now?
