    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    I have a 2015 S 70D w/AP1. When my MCU1 w/3G failed in July 2020, I used my Tesla App to book appointment stating all controls failed, no dash screen, no turn signal, no AC, no backup camera etc... Tesla replied saying that they diagnosed the problem OTA and determined that it was MCU1 failure...

    MCU1 upgrade to MCU2 - Can I now record review Camera?

    I can 100% confirm that MCU1 upgrade to MCU2 itself does not give you Sentry features if you don't already have the feature or the hardware. I upgraded my 2015 S70D recently. Only additional entertainment features like Netflix and my original missing 4GLTE is included. And you will loose FM...

    It's too late, my MCU1 Died....

    2015 S70D with AP1 - just had mine upgraded from MCU1 to MCU2 (new screen/unit, not refurb) and it's $2500 + tax. I'd recommend to go with MCU2 upgrade, much faster operation. If you go with MCU1 to MCU1 refurb unit, it's $1500 + tax.

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    @dglennon20 I have the exact same car 2015 S70D Build Date 05/2015 with AP1. I just had my MCU1 upgraded to MCU2 and it's $2500 + tax so yours should be up-gradable like mine and I highly recommend it especially with the 3G -> 4G LTE upgrade included and everything else works much faster.

    2015 Tesla Accelerated into a wall

    Sorry to hear of the accident and glad to hear that no one is seriously hurted. However, one question looms in my mind: I thought no insurance company will insure any "salvage car" let alone paying to repair/replace it. Perhaps I am mistaken.

    Software Update 2019.16.x

    Wonder if the omission/removal of some of these features is (in)directly related to the latest M3 fatal crash

    Freak road event: Stick speared my bumper

    Judging by the picture and the location of the puncture, wonder if this could be covered up by the license plate holder (i.e. if you don't mind going the less expensive route by not replacing the bumper + paint job)

    13 cars broken into last night, for laptops - costco sunnyvale parking lot

    Looks like identical beak-in style on all cases. How did they not trigger the car alarm when they opened the door without the fob to grab things from the trunk?

    CPO accident before delivery

    Would asking Tesla to include 4-yr extended warranty plus free 4-yr maintenance be another negotiation option since that's not immediate money out of Tesla's book? That will also give you "peace of mind" for the next few years.

    Air Conditioning Blowing Hot Air

    Had similar AC issue over the past two weekends with my 2015 S70D. Outside temperature in Seattle was 70 - 81 with interior temp always set to 67 and AUTO on all other settings. Car was fully charged and driving at or near speed limit all the time. Warm air was blowing regardless of what was...

    Current owner appetite for a Model 3

    Will definitely consider if "Free lifetime use of SC" applies.

    What color is the (rear turn signal) in Europe and Asia?

    Thank you for the confirmation. I love the amber/orange/yellow myself as I think it's more eye catching with sharper contrast.

    What color is the (rear turn signal) in Europe and Asia?

    Is it orange/yellow outside of US?

    Amazon After market Spoiler Install

    Has anyone tried using a heat gun to warm/heat the spoiler and bend the left side slightly so it conforms better to the trunk lip? I am making an assumption that the spoiler may be made out of plastic instead of carbon fiber.
