Appreciate the update. I'm ready to buy yet another set of tires soon. Just started going to Discount Tires with my other cars (got so sick of Costco), and came across these tires for my 2016 MS. Looks like you're on track to get about 28K before they hit 2/32, which seems to be about the most...

Although I haven't replaced the instrument cluster, I'm sure it's MUCH easier than the main touchscreen. Easier to get to, and I suspect is just a simple swap, whereas the touchscreen you have to remove it from the MCU, etc. No, you don't need to fix this for it to work, and no, you may not...

When you say your small screen has bubbles, do you mean your instrument cluster, or the large touchscreen? I replaced the touchscreen, not the IC. Got mine off eBay. The seller I used doesn't seem to have anymore (I just checked). Keep in mind a lot of screens on eBay have issues (one was...

My 2016 pre-refresh MS finally developed the bubbles of doom on the touchscreen. Since Tesla doesn’t replace just the screen, I went on the adventure of replacing it myself (didn’t want to drop a few grand on new MCU). Either I was having a really bad Google search day, or there really isn’t...

Nope, no goodwill around these parts. They only offered replacing MCU vs upgrade to MCU2, all at my expense. I'm way out of warranty. But yeah, should probably start using a sunscreen. I just replaced it yesterday and posting a DIY in a few....

Oh man, anyone? :)

Same here. There are a lot of similar posts. It makes me think they’re just swapping the entire MCU and screen during the recall rather than just swapping the eMMC. This can’t just be coincidence. I can guarantee I don’t have my original screen anymore. There’s nothing during that procedure that...

Hi All So my pre-refresh 2016 MS is finally getting bubbles on MCU touchscreen. I’m up for replacing it myself (I’ve already pulled it once to replace eMMC) but wondering where to get the replacement screen. I see a bunch on eBay. $280 seems to be the going price. Do you think I should grab...

Yes. Issue was waiting for IC / car to wake up on getting in, rather than the instant on that I was used to.

Oh wow. I had lost all of my settings during the upgrade (including Trip B stats which I had never reset since getting the car😭). When I re-did all my settings, I had turned off energy savings for my main profile, but apparently didn’t do that for my Easy Entry profile. Explains why it would...

Hi all. Something for you all to ponder as you continue to digest your turkey. I had my 2016 MS in to get eMMC upgrade a few weeks ago. Ever since, the car powers down every time I park and get out of the car. Does not affect the center touchscreen at all. That comes on as soon as I get in the...

So I had mine repaired by Tony in August. Fingers crossed it's covered. We'll see. BUT, I didn't get this email (2016 MS). Does that mean my vehicle isn't part of this?

I would (nicely) push Tesla to consider this under warranty, especially given how common this has become. Also, if you were having ANY symptoms prior to 3 weeks ago, it would help your case.

Our cars are basically the same. Mine is March 2016. We wouldn’t really benefit much from MCU2, so I didn’t feel it justified the 2600 price tag. Tesla was charging 1700 for an even MCU1 swap, but several have posted here 500 now that they are just swapping the Tegras. From what is sounds, many...

FWIW, as soon as I powered up after replacing, it downloaded 2020.24. Once I knew everything was working (took about 20 minutes for slacker to eventually start working, and I had to repair my phone), I updated and it’s been working great. Everything was saved (profiles, garage door, etc). Even...
