    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I have a late 2016 90D AWD with FSD and HW3 computer upgrade. I have not received an upgrade since 2020.48. I this because I am still on MCU1? My MCU has occasionally blanked out but not lately. My understanding is that it is just a matter of time until it does. the band aid software patch seems...

    2016 90D with MCU1. No updates since 2020.48. Is this normal?

    Anyone got HW3 retrofit yet?

    My M3 upgrade was completed last week, forgot to post. Early VIN 2XXX, working fine though I lost my Homelink settings and driver profiles. Annoying but not a big deal. Now seeing traffic lights and cones. Seems to be better at visualizing bicycles and pedestrians. Now I have to wait for my...

    Anyone got HW3 retrofit yet?

    I have a service appointment for 2 year checkup, service bulletin items and for HW3 next week for my M3 RWD. Appointment has been confirmed. Pretty early VIN 2XXX. Have had no problems in the 2 years I've had the car other than minor panel alignment issues in the first week.

    Self parking in a very tight garage - doable?

    I've used summon to enter and exit a very tight garage almost daily with my S and occasionally with the 3. It has on rare occasions stopped and refused to go on. I visually check and if OK, almost always is, hit forward again. Without it I could not get out of the car. Again, though it has...

    Tesla posts FSD demo video of Model 3

    Impressive route with a variety of street and freeway driving including complex interchanges. But, they also revealed a level of navigation not current supported. All we can currently program is point to point navigation. This went well beyond this. Does this mean that waypoints are finally...

    RIP Panoramic Roof... :(

    Got the Pano Roof because it enables mounting a roof rack and the solid roof does not. Seldom open it, but really like the light and added sense of space. I like the Glass Roof option even better, but I don't know if it has mounting points. Not an issue at the moment as my stable is full with...

    Model 3 Key Fob is here: $150

    The Model 3 is my third Tesla. I have been driving and advocating for Tesla since 2013. I bought the M3 to replace my wife's 2011 LEAF and took delivery in December 2017. The phone as key option has never worked reliably for her (Galaxy 5) and she is seriously fed up with the car. It works...

    oops, anxious for winter to come.

    Powerwall 2: SGIP/Incentives

    There is hope. It does, however, take patience. Started the SGIP process November 2017. My SGIP reservation for a two PowerWall installation was confirmed January 10th 2018. After multiple re-submissions for incomplete information and several DocuSigns, all done initially by SolarCity then...

    Phone as Key Issues

    It is finally working on both my and my wife's phones. My confidence that it will continue to work is, unfortunately low. I am careful to always have the key card with me, just in case. Happily, I have not had to use it in over a week.

    Model 3 - Key Fob yes/no?

    I am really happy for all for whom the phone key is working reliably. We've had our 3 since December 27. My Galaxy S7 was easy to set up and worked fine for about a week and then became reliable. My wife's S5 never worked. I did the usual uninstall and reinstall the app dance making sure...

    Already on 50.11 but just got an update notification.

    My phone, Galaxy S7, worked briefly after updating to 50.12. My Wife's S5 has never worked. I am on my third Tesla and as such have learned patience, but this is getting to be ridiculous. Opening the door and driving are very basic essential functions for a car. I can accept slow rollout of...

    Phone as Key Issues

    Great if you can get an AT&T signal. Verizon works great at my location, AT&T barely. We need WiFi to work.
