Sure hope I have better luck with the "voluntary recall". My problems have been on the increase lately (2014 with 342k MI) but still not as bad as many. Reboots are mostly dependent on how often I use USB music, which I've mostly been avoiding lately. I'll let them do the eMMC (free) upgrade...

I wouldn’t expect the index to be kept in ram, but on flash. But in any case, it just seems to be working differently than it used to, even with the same collection. Maybe I’ll try yet another flash stick.

Hoping this is a good thread to ask this question; couldn't find it easily in the 107 pages of the thread (it's probably in here somewhere): When does the (MCU1, fwiw) build the music index? On my newly-inserted USB stick (128GB stick w/~115GB of MP3-only files), I sometimes can go straight to...

My 2014 Model S 85 goes in to the Marin Co. California service center Friday for what I called in as MCU problems, reboots, slowness, etc. Hoping they’ve ordered the part and can do the job. Will report back with experience.

Uh oh. Maybe I spoke too soon.

Sounds like I must have an “MCU0” 1004777, I did an LTE upgrade earlier this year. So the good news is that there’s a part number for a Tegra board with new eMMC chip. I think I’ll check and see if my local SC (San Rafael CA) can find it. thanks, tga!

I found it via: LMGTFY OR SB-18-13-002 R1 January 25, 2019 Tesla, Inc. Service ... static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10153434-9999.pdf/

In all fairness, the Tech package had a lot more in it than the power liftgate. I think keyless entry (which I believe requires additional hardware as well), Navigation, Homelink, parking sensors (also hardware), and probably some features I've missed. I just don't want my MCU1 to go dead (and...

Aha. Thanks very much @MP3Mike. One wonders why the absence of a power liftgate would make such an upgrade impossible, but much of my experience thus far with Tesla seems to follow similar illogic, if answers can be found at all.

When did you upgrade? Did you just request it from the app? My 2014 85 has zero optional features, I'm wondering if there is something about the base model that prevents it from being upgraded or if their "your car can't be upgraded" response was just a timing issue with availability.

Aha, thanks for that. Found the SB but it says 2015-2018. I wonder if it's the same for 2014?

Has anyone with a *2014* upgraded to MCU2? When I checked about two months ago about it, they simply said "your car is not upgradable". This has led me down the road to tackling an eMMC upgrade, since it has not been verified anywhere that the "rebuilt" MCU1 units have an improved eMMC and...

Hey @rsg123 - mind me asking who did your eMMC repair?

MCU1 upgraded to 24.6.11 and was left with it locked up on the announcement screen. Reset and it came back, things seem to be working (USB music, mp3-only collection). One new annoyance: when the USB music restarts (I.e., opening the door), the system spins on a Spotify screen. I don’t use and...

I want to double-check what I found on eBay with my car first, and it seems they change in 2016 fwiw. But even before that, I wonder how much success I will have in getting the struts changed outside of Tesla service? Are the alignment specs available? I would really like to pay $2k rather...
