    MCU Failure Poll

    It will begin doing random reboots in about a month. I am averaging 1 reboot every week. REflashing does nothing and it will eventually fail, they are hoping AFTER the warranty expires

    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    For the folks that have not interacted with Tesla Service this is a standard lie they put out... I have at least a dozen issues where they have said this over my 6 years of ownership, NONE have been resolved via firmware updates. Including the replacement MCU whch is now also failing. FPGA...

    Sound deadening work begins next week: will report before and after data

    I had a high end stereo done on mine and the installer did lots of sound absorbing to minimize vibrations. Prob not as much as your guy will do but it made CLEAR difference in tire noise post install and a WAY more solid sound from the equipment. cant wait to hear your report

    How is Tesla Customer Service nowadays (2020)?

    You will not get a loaner in SF, Palo Alto, or Burlingame, not sure about the others in the bay area You will not likely talk to the same person twice for service, drop of with one person, tech (different person) works on car, third person says whts wrong, 4th person texts you when car is...

    MCU died - out of warranty - "Aftermarket Modifications waiver?"

    I was charged $2000 for the "refurbished" MCU which began rebooting weekly about 2 months ago and is laggy as hell. I took it in for the reboots and they said it was fine. I will hopefully be reimbursed for the $2000 MCU replacement per the nov 9th email but im sure it will have to be a fight...

    Did my MCU1 just die ???

    Well, if they were an honorable company that may be the case, but they will likely consider the replacement as a replacement part thus all the "rights" as a replacement part are in effect nullifying the 8 year warranty on the original part and replacing with the one year replacement part...

    Did my MCU1 just die ???

    Classic symptoms Reboots, laggy as hell. waiting for steering wheel control failures and then finally MCU death....no doubt the "remanufactured" units are previous failure MCU1's tested and refurbished if they dont meet certain specs. some failed units are likely deemed OK and re-installed

    Did my MCU1 just die ???

    You are missing the point. Tesla is not going to fix an intermittently rebooting MCU. they will merely keep your car for two days to a week, wave their hands, say they reflashed the henway, say "working per specifications" and hand you back the same intermittently rebooting MCU. My MCU got...

    Did my MCU1 just die ???

    The key here is what is considered a malfunction: "Tesla is providing eligible owners who experience a malfunction no-cost repairs to this part at any Tesla Service Center for 8 years/100k miles from initial delivery date. If you do not experience a malfunction, there’s no need to take action"...

    Did my MCU1 just die ???

    And unless it is black they will not do a damn thing...they will say they reflash and everything is normal blah blah blah...and it will still be laggy and reboot a couple times a week but none chance at a new (oh sorry REFURBISHED) MCU1.

    Teslas to show side cameras when backing up. Yes!

    first mention in this thread of need for MCU2 for this feature. My MCU 1 failed just out of warranty so had to pay $1800 for new one they wouldnt do the upgrade altough i asked and was willing to pay (something about "limited availability") At least I now have a remote shot at getting my money...

    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    Just your wife? I dont mind the unreliability, I do mind the fact that they deny ANY AND ALL warranty items and the attitude that once they sell you the car we could give a cr-p about you. The only reason they are responding on this is due to the NHTSA investigation

    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    Yep, All those are EMMC failure symptoms, looks like Tesla is betting it wont fail until the warranty expires and avoid having to take responsibility. They could care less that your navigation, voice control etc is basically non functional and that the weekly reboots that disable all main...

    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    Well, This should be QUITE interesting. Had my MCU1 replaced in April due to complete failure (Blank Screen) this was out of warranty so cost me $2000, based on the info here (from Tesla) I should be reimbursed for this. The replacement "remanufactured" MCU is now rebooting regularly and...

    Would Tesla honor my FSD purchase if I modify Model S?

    Yes it is, at least in america. I have an aftermarket stereo installed (after warranty expired thank god) and everytime i bring it in they try to blame the stereo on whatever failure happened (4x Steering wheel controls, 1X MCU (going on 2X) new motor and axles 1x)

    Service now blaming MCU failure on aftermarket stereo

    They didn't fix it the first time for free it was $1800, car has been out of warranty for 25K miles and the original failed MCU had the reboot issues and failed steering controls for a year before the stereo was installed. All the symptoms last time and this time were classic eMMC memory...

    Service now blaming MCU failure on aftermarket stereo

    Post your biggest F&*# ups

    I would think that with all the available cameras on the car they would allow the option to view passenger side camera when in reverse (parallel parking), and the back up camera lines are WAY off on width of tire track

    I am shocked about the price variance in windshields My first one was $600 the next one was $1100 (yes glass is thin and I drive 101 100 miles a day!) Learned a while ago to switch coverage to 0 deductible on glass (State farm allows this)
