    2017 to 2024: Did they fix...

    2017 MX 100D owner here (previously a 2014 MS P85). 96K miles. No issues to complain of for the past few years. Going along in life happily wondering if the future holds a CT, an R1S, or something else...but nothing to worry about. BUT THEN: transfer FSD, transfer FUSC, $1K CT deposit discount...

    Homelink for Gate: Stopped working after 5 years?

    Took delivery of my Model X in April 2017. The day I brought it home I programmed our two garage doors and the simple gate we have at the end of a shared private driveway. No issues for five years. Last week my gate Homelink stopped working. It would still trigger due to GPS, the menu would...

    Major 2021 Model X refresh pending [Update: Unveiled January 27, 2021]

    Found it interesting that there is not a single picture of the Falcon Wing Doors open on the new landing page. This is after the previous page had a video at the top showcasing the doors opening and numerous other shots throughout. The only reference is a small mention in the utility section...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    FYI, same thing for me on my MX. While the main calibration was done on the way home from the service center, it took over 200 miles of driving to get that last 1% so summon would work. I actually had a question out to my SC on it, but then yesterday it finally finished. There are many...

    Bait & Switch?? Help

    True with every car dealer. The last few cars I’ve bought I’ve always taught the salesperson a thing or two about the vehicles that they didn’t know. This includes Tesla and other brands. Just bought my teenage daughter a car and had researched a height-adjusting cargo area. The “product...

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    Over a week and 130 miles later, I love this upgrade. Feels like a new a new car. I haven't touched my FM/AM radio in 6+ years of owning Teslas so I don't miss anything there. Everything seems to be up and running except I've noticed one issue I'm curious if anyone else has experienced. As...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    There really is no upgrade to AP2.5. The only difference between 2.0 and 2.5 are the cameras and radar and during the upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0/FSD they do not replace these. What exactly did they do at that first appointment? And yes, as a Model X owner who just went from AP2.0/MCU1 to...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I'm one of the many who never received any email from Tesla regarding the ability to upgrade my infotainment (the announcement nor the invitation). Had the work done this past Tuesday. I have a small group of 4 owner friends. Two of the four of us got the email.

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    One minor thing I noticed after the upgrade... I often use my phone to unlock my car in the garage: “Hey Siri, unlock my car." Today, post upgrade, it has forced me to open the app each time. When I open the app, it says “waking up...” and takes 10-15 seconds. I always had my car set to...

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    Well, if it makes you feel any better, my original confirmed appointment was for May 8th. So it basically took a month to get the MCU2. We rescheduled 3 times. Each time I called two days before to confirm the parts and we'd push out. Given the global supply chain challenges they are facing...

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    Update on HomeLink: I talked to the service center and they re-pushed the last firmware to me. Upon installing the existing HomeLink settings still didn't work, but this time instead of getting stuck in a loop it let me re-program it. I re-programmed all three with no issues and I'm good to...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Took pictures before and after and didn't notice any trim damage. There is one tiny dot on my IC (either a stuck pixel or dirt) but it's in the lower right corner and I think I'll just live with it. Update on HomeLink: I talked to the service center and they re-pushed the last firmware to...

    Cross-posting from the Model X thread...figure it's valuable here as well: Picked up my Model X today after yesterday's AP2.0/MCU1 -> FSD/MCU2 upgrade. A few brief thoughts: Dropped off at 9am, car was ready by 5:23pm same day (also had front tires replaced). MCU2 is so darn fast...

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    Picked up my Model X today after yesterday's AP2.0/MCU1 -> FSD/MCU2 upgrade. A few brief thoughts: Dropped off at 9am, car was ready by 5:23pm same day (also had front tires replaced). MCU2 is so darn fast. EVERYTHING is snappier. Almost worth the upgrade on it's own. Tested Netflix, works...

    Dropped my AP2.0/MCU1 MX off this morning at 9am for FSD/MCU2. Got the text at 5:23pm that my car was ready. Will be picking it up tomorrow morning.

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    AP2.0/MCU1 Upgrade to FSD/MCU2 confirmed for tomorrow for my MX. Appointment was delayed twice due to parts but parts are now confirmed to have been received and ready to go.

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    Interesting. Here is mine. I have a different part number for the MCU Upgrade at $2.5K and then the FSD part is listed under other with no cost (as I've already paid for FSD).

    It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

    MCU1/AP2.0 upgrade to MCU2/FSD...parts ordered last week. Appointment tomorrow, 5/19. Called the SC this morning and they confirmed the parts haven’t arrived yet so appointment rescheduled to 5/27.

    Per Bellevue this morning my parts aren't in yet. My appointment was moved to 5/27.

    Our license plates came. Did you install yourself or Tesla? If by self- what screws?

    I may have to try that...mine has been installed in my glove box for 6+ years of Tesla ownership. ;)

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I have an email from the manager of my SC (who is quite literally one of the best employees I’ve encountered anywhere and has been with Tesla since before I got my MS in 2014) telling me they already did a 2.0 upgrade this week and the cameras are not changed out (I specifically asked about the...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Same here in Seattle using the Bellevue SC. Parts ordered for my MCU1/AP2.0 Model X to go MCU2/FSD. They claimed to have done a 2.0 upgrade yesterday with no issues.

    2020.12.11.1 and intermittent wipers

    Similar to @IslandHydro , living in WA I give my wipers a workout. My original MS (2014, pre-Autopilot) the auto-wipers worked great. No complaints. My AP2.0 MX? Complete garbage...especially at night. Don't turn on when they need to. Run too fast in a drizzle. Won't turn off when it's...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Sorry man. I gotta admit, when you replied to my post with this: My first reaction is "no way it's happening." I was hoping, for you, that I was wrong. At least they got your car running again. I'm hearing chatter that we're looking at late summer for AP2.0 cars. I've gotten to the...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I'm not sure it's a bug. I think they are basically using mobile as the first line of triage for all repair requests. They can't expect owners to make the call on mobile vs SC so by having everything go through mobile they can intake the requests and then re-direct the ones to the SC that need...

    AP2 MCU1 w/ FSD to MCU2 upgrade available?

    6 years of Tesla ownership across a Model S and Model X, over 100K miles, and I can honestly say I’ve literally never used the FM or XM radio. Between the built-in streaming services and my phone I’m set. Sign me up for the infotainment upgrade!

    Elon Confirms S & X Are Chopped Liver

    I'll be the counter point. I love my MX but if I could swap out the FWDs I would in a second. A few of the issues: I've had two times now where a FWD refused to open or close. Try to open and it says obstacle detected and won't move. Try to close and it says obstacle detected and won't...

    Vertical Lines on Windshield

    Thank you! Not happy about the problem, but thank you for confirming I’m not the only one! It seems to be getting worse. I took a few more pics (attached). I sent pics to my local service center and they said they’d look into it but haven’t heard back. I’m going in for service next Monday...

    Vertical Lines on Windshield

    OK, I feel like an idiot asking a stupid question...but here we go. I picked up my MX in April 2017. My only windshield complaints were some ghosting at night. I've lived with it. In August my family took a 4 week road trip across the country and back and the MX sat in our garage the...

    Oh...my...goodness! You are AMAZING!!! Of course I had looked at the plug and all looked fine. But after you posted this I REALLY looked at the plug with a flashlight and hmmmm...why is the right side silver at the bottom and the left is black?!?!? I got some tweezers (after turning off the...

    Loaner Charging Problems (two different loaners)

    Could be...but I also go back to 2013-2017. One Model S, one Model X, and countless Model S loaners. If it had to be shaved, I should have run into this issue back then. And it works flawlessly on my Model X. Mystery.

    Loaner Charging Problems (two different loaners)

    It's definitely not fully plugged in. I'm just confused why this would happen on two different loaners! Plus, on the first one I tested the portable charge cable and that worked fine. So odd.

    Loaner Charging Problems (two different loaners)

    I have an original Tesla HPWC from my 2013 Model S. That car had dual chargers (as it was called back then), never had any charging problems with it or loaners. Last April 2017 I took delivery of my Model X 100D with the High Amperage Charger. My HPWC is set to 72A. Never had a single...

    Same problem here with my Model X and iPhone X. Reports on Apple's forum too: https://discussions.apple.com/message/32915501 I created two voicemail audio files this morning...one from my daughter's iPhone SE and one from my iPhone X. Mine is garbled. Hers is crystal clear (my wife's 7+ is...

    Side View Mirrors Stopped Folding (Model X) - Software Issue?

    I love Tesla service. Noted my mirrors stopped folding last night. Sent an email to my service center (not the main Tesla email) at 9:30pm last night. Three minutes later I had an email from my service center asking if I had run Merry Xmas (I had the week earlier). 7 minutes later the Shop...

    Poll: 81% of Prospective Model 3 Owners Say They Won’t Pay Upfront For Full Self-Driving

    If self-driving is the MAIN reason for you to buy a Tesla you may want to seriously re-think your purchase decision. There are a ton of great reasons to own a Tesla (I'm on my second) but self-driving is WAY down the list. As someone else posted in this thread...spend your hard earned money on...

    Poll: 81% of Prospective Model 3 Owners Say They Won’t Pay Upfront For Full Self-Driving

    A few notes. I'm not complaining. I'm just giving a use case as an example of how far away FSD is if the car can't do EAP on a back road. The one thing I will note, however, is the conflicting info that Tesla itself provides: During my test drive the Tesla employee had me turn on EAP on a...

    Poll: 81% of Prospective Model 3 Owners Say They Won’t Pay Upfront For Full Self-Driving

    I purchased a Model S in 2013 and took delivery of my Model X this past April. Love the cars, love Tesla. But I'm way beyond the stage of feeling like my $3K is an investment in the future. The price the vehicles are at already is my investment! I'll keep my $3K thank you. So I didn't opt...
