    I traded in my Model S for a Prius Prime

    Hmm that honda clarity is not so bad. I might consider one. Was considering a model y but I really need the range to hit 400 on it before getting one. So your saying I can get one for 20k! Probably wont lose much in value either

    Red calipers: to paint or buy?

    Just wanted to mention my g2 caliper kit still looks great after all these years. Really recommend it. I even got some heat resistant vinyls off ebay and even those are still good. Im a bit surprised. I drive quite a bit

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    I really doubt this is true. That twitter account is no one to trust. Only has 50 followers. This is the same Tesla that was reluctant to replace a simple chip

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    After using my mcu2 for a week or so now I can tell you all I could never go back. It is indeed the best $1500 iv spent in a while. I also thought I wouldnt play the games. I hooked up an xbox controller to the thing and played cuphead. That game is a great time waster while supercharging

    BUG: Autopilot engaging the HDMI interface

    Side Note if anyone is wondering if version numbers matter. I have the latest 2021 build that was just released and it works fine with it

    MCU upgrade

    Mine took a full day and a half to get installed. Yes the new screen is amazing. Besides how great the system runs the new screen has better color

    Is there any downside to Air Suspension?

    The air suspension I had on my German car and even Lincoln navigator was amazing. It was like you were riding on a cloud. I didnt notice a difference with the Tesla one

    Is there any downside to Air Suspension?

    I have had a few loaners with air suspension and I honestly dont notice a difference. Glad I didnt get it. I have had a few cars with air suspension and something has always gone wrong and needed an expensive repair

    You really get used to it and end up liking it more. I received a loaner that had the older interface and it looked outdated to me after using the new one for a few weeks

    BUG: Autopilot engaging the HDMI interface

    I got a feeling they are selling the same one that the company in hong kong created. Its the same one I installed. Your odb2 receiver has to be the culprit. Let me know if you end up fixing this. I have never had this issue Also did you wire it properly? I didnt the first time so I had to go...

    I also have to state the new screen seems much nicer. The blacks looks amazing. There is definitely a difference in the screen color

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    I just got my car back from the upgrade. WOW what a difference. The upgrade was definitely worth it. It does indeed feel like a brand new car. I cant believe how great voice commands work now. I was reading and replying to text messages without a single delay I also noticed new things. The car...

    Didnt they fix the yellow border issue with the new screen? Getting the new one is worth it if that is the case

    The new Model S and X will get a Lithium-ion 12 V battery.

    I went through 3 of the standard Tesla 12v batteries in 4 years. They just didnt last for me. Since I had to pay for the last one I decided to just go lithium and see how it worked out. I was reading its different for all people with the standard battery. I think it depends on where you live.

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    If you can get it! I figured its going to take forever for them to actually replace the chip. Not worth waiting months for them to order parts and catch up with replacing them.

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    I had tried it for a bit but it was too slow. Even without that feature enabled, the system cant handle it. I also think I have a failing MCU chip so that could be the culprit. Im just over it honestly. Ill pay the $1500 and not have to deal with Teslas awful service

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    A decent dashcam is about $200. Dashcam on MCU2 with multiple cameras is worth the upgrade. My current blackvue dashcam saved me twice when a shopping cart hit my car and I had to prove whos fault it was. Plus I like the fact of having a backup in case my blackvue fails. $1500 was a no...

    I also think AP3 is too much for mcu1. My car really went downhill after that upgrade

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    Took the bait and opted in for mcu2 upgrade. Found it interesting that they ordered a new AP3 module for my car even though I have it installed. It stated AP3 for MCU2 on the invoice. Got sick and tired of the slowness of the vehicle and tired of waiting around for tesla to fix my chip. Also...

    Many people upgraded because of how crappy the mcu1 system became. Tesla should do right by people and issue a refund

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Its a very good point but to me, $2500 is a bit much. For me, its just for added netflix and youtube. I dont care about the games or the web browser. Sure the sytem is faster but I was fine with it before it started acting up. I remember the time voice commands worked flawlessly. That is...

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    Their current stance is deny deny deny a replacement stating you don't need one. They are trying to keep the numbers down in order not to be forced to do one. Pretty shady. O you didnt keep logs, o we didn't find anything wrong, o we did a relfash and your ok. All BS excuses to avoid changing it.

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    Just got the call. They informed me they did another reflash and the technician couldn't find an issue with the emmc chip. They recommend I changed out the whole mcu computer. Is this their new lie? Have the user replace everything so the chip can't be the culprit?

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    Got another runaround today. Finally after waiting 3 weeks my appointment comes. First time they did a "reflash" and accomplished nothing. My symptoms have been getting worst since then. They had already ordered my daughter board. When I get there they ask me if I have my time logs of when...

    Travel Through Cajon Pass on I-15

    My model s takes a huge rang hit traveling through that. Just try not to speed going uphill. Plenty of superchargers on the way. I can make it from LA to Las vegas on one charge. I stop at the supercharger next to that huge ice cream cone plane on the way to vegas. Cant remember the place but...

    Agreed used to me phenomenal but since the Model 3, they just cant handle the surge. Stopped caring about their customers and decided to take that approach instead of trying to make things better.

    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    Texted Tesla back stating the problem was still there and gave them the exact times it happened. I received a call saying that they will order the daughterboard just in case but the engineers are going to look at the logs remotely. This back and forth is going to cost them more money versus them...

    Tesla Covering Some MCU1 Issues for Some Owners

    Horrible Just dropped my car off and they are saying they remotely diagnosed it and I don't need it replaced. I simply need it to get reflashed. OK Tesla really believe you on that one. Can't wait till the recall kicks in

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Scheduled an appointment and they replied back wanting to know exactly when the occurrences happened and what exactly happened with my mcu1. I had already stated what was happening.
