    I'm looking around for 2nd hand MCU2 though unsure of this one small question lol

    BTW I also have the tools, and software to do something to this MCU2 that we're not supposed to discuss here....my main concern is whether I need additional wires or not.

    I'm looking around for 2nd hand MCU2 though unsure of this one small question lol

    Then this one SHOULD be both complete and compatible for my 2016 right?.... As for the radio, I am not interested in that at all. The reason I'm even looking on Ebay is Tesla is telling me 2 months or so wait...

    I'm looking around for 2nd hand MCU2 though unsure of this one small question lol

    I was not aware that the MCU2 upgrade also upgrades the instrument panel. Regarding the much faster CPU (The Nvidia one, is that not built into the panel listed above?)

    Are the MCUS year depndanrt? My car: 2017 MS 75 Is this compatible? https://www.ebay.com/itm/265952929063? Or would I certainly need to buy this one? Only reason I'm asking.... Tesla JUST now told me, they won't hve one in for me until March.

    How many versions behind is my firmware and am I missing anything critical or worthwhile?

    Yet another screen-mirroring post

    Is the Beat-Sonic screen mirroring interface the only option available for us MCU1 guys to mirror Android onto the screen? https://www.beatsonicusa.com/teslamirroringv1.html I saw a thread from 2019 from someone BeauBu or something where they made a home-brew board, not sure how much or how to...

    How to access MCU1 that has root?

    The shop I purchased my MS from has already rooted the MCU1...does that mean only they can get in though given I don't have the certificates? If I did have the certificates, I'm very familiar with Linux, ssh, etc. I am unsure of how to connect to the MCU. Do people locate the IP and ssh in...

    How many versions behind is my firmware and am I missing anything critical or worthwhile?

    Thanks! Let's say I do want the EAP 1. I do have access through the Tesla app, would gladly give that up as I almost never use it. 2. No streaming services are currently setup 3 LTE does work, can I disable it? Do i need too even? 4. I should have been clear about updates. When I check...

    How many versions behind is my firmware and am I missing anything critical or worthwhile?

    A somewhat subjective question but... Specs: AP 2.5 No EAP MCU1 Root access (shop does, not me), comms with home-base shutdown due to being salvage title, keeping SC access online. Firmware: V10.2 (2021.24.28 70cd155f2e12) Navigation: NA-2020.48-12628 2NDARY Question: The owner of the...

    Is it possible to manually swap back from an MCU2 to MCU1 if I upgrade and kept the MCU1?

    I'm AP 2.5 and don't have FSD yet, they quoted me for the 3 though and were ready to schedule the upgrade (Hw3+cams+mcu2) but if it risks losing SC...that's a no go...very disappointing. Wish I knew that b4 buying it. Oh well was a good deal any...a 2017 75 immaculate, 3100 MI, rooted for $37k

    Is it possible to manually swap back from an MCU2 to MCU1 if I upgrade and kept the MCU1?

    Thanks @gaswalla I've seen that mentioned due to a recall...not sure what that part is responsible for. My main gripe with MCU1 is how unresponsive maps are...and wanting in the FSD Beta

    Would Tesla do the MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade on a Model S with a salvage title?

    Just now seeing this...and this is the kind of post I've been wanting to see haha seems most that chime in, don't have a salvage and are doom and gloom. That said...I do have full app access, have been serviced 2x (not HV related) no issues

    Is it possible to manually swap back from an MCU2 to MCU1 if I upgrade and kept the MCU1?

    That's exactly where I am at...no updates, but they are willing to do the upgrade. I'm just not sure I am willing to hence this post.

    Is it possible to manually swap back from an MCU2 to MCU1 if I upgrade and kept the MCU1?

    I'm REALLY wanting to upgrade from MCU1 for many reasons...but doing so leaves me vulnerable given ny MS is salvage title. Which makes me wonder... Just how many MCU2 salvage title S owners are out there and still able to supercharge. I just hope Tesla officially does for the MS what they...

    More front door handle woes...they don't retract...make grinding noises...when I unlock it, the doors pop open a couple of inches.

    I was having issues with three of my handles, the rear passenger wouldn't present at all or unlock, the two front would present but not unlock the doors. Sometimes retract, sometimes not and when they wouldn't would make a terrible grinding noise. Though when they don't retract, and it locks...

    Latest firmware

    Okay...I'm definitely WAY behind lol I'm currently on 2020.48.12628 Reason is...root... Now I can't help but wonder if any of those updates are anything I need or care about vs my free supercharging

    If a MCU is 'Factory Reset' and has been rooted will it lose root?

    Thank you! Now I'm unsure if it will be beneficial or cost me time having to put everything back the way I want it

    Do I need MCU2 for a FSD computer and to use the FSD feature?

    gaswalla: Thanks, my service appointment is (now was) for FSD computer upgrade + camera upgrade + MCU2 It's a 2017, AP 2.5 btw...which brings me to this question. Is the FSD cpu HW3 or does HW3=FSD cpu+cams+MCU2? I have to ask because in the app Tesla doesn't refer to anything being HW3 or MCU...

    None of my handles present unless I unlock with the fob

    Great question right around when that happened I kept getting notifications on the dash saying to use the app or press the keyfob because it couldn't find the key. So I replaced the battery hoping that would present the handles. The notification stopped but still wasn't presenting the handles...

    None of my handles present unless I unlock with the fob

    Hey my apologies for not replying much earlier...THIS was the issue. Passive entry was disabled. I don't recall how or when I did that, but I must have. Enabling it and it's back to normal. Thanks!

    Do I need MCU2 for a FSD computer and to use the FSD feature?

    I'm still rocking my MCU1 on 10.2 firmware I can get the FSD computer upgrade for the noted $1000, though have specific reasons why I don't want to upgrade my MCU1 just yet. Is MCU2 a necessity to obtain FSD? I can get the $6000 Nav on Autopilot right now without issue...what I like about...

    Latest firmware

    I'm having trouble finding the answer to this so asking here and please forgive me if it's a played-out or annoying question. I'm really new to owning a Tesla. I have a 2017 Model S and want to know... what is the latest firmware? While my display does show it's up to date, I have reason to...

    Or is it like an android phone and would not affect that?

    None of my handles present unless I unlock with the fob

    I'm having an odd problem apparently as it seems most issues happen to Individual handles? It's a 2017, and the handles stopped presenting. They don't respond to tapping either. The only way to open is the Fob. Unlocking using that, they all present without issue. I've tried rebooting the...

    Would Tesla do the MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade on a Model S with a salvage title?

    I will definitely check 1st. What I was told as the car stands now, teleforce won't be able to "get into" the system to disable SC capabilities. Not sure what technically was done for that?

    That is good to know! I wont be upgrading the MCU after all in that case. Not worth it at that point.

    Would Tesla do the MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade on a Model S with a salvage title?

    Scheduled my MCU2 and FSD computer hoping they don't notice the title and kill the supercharging. No worries if they do though...the shop I got the car from I'm sure will just re-enable it anyway

    My worry is them shutting off my supercharging ability.

    Would Tesla do the MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade on a Model S with a salvage title?

    That's awesome! Though a rebuilt title is a little different than salvage title right? Or...is a car that's been 'totaled' but back on the road legal a salvage title rebuild? Mine was done in California as well. I got a great price on mine too and it's a 2017 with only 29,000 miles on it with...

    I could completely understand that too. Thankfully the shop I just got mine from has been real good to me so doesn't look like I need to worry about anything.

    Enabling Supercharging on salvage Tesla Model X

    Would you mind sharing some of those Sacramento shops with me over DM? That's where I'm located. My shop already did that with my S. That said...would be nice to have some backup shops. This makes me wonder if they would even be able to enable things like Enhanced Autopilot

    How do I get Navigate On Autopilot? 2017 AP 2.5

    Would Tesla do the MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade on a Model S with a salvage title?

    Does anyone here have a salvage title Model S and experience working with Tesla directly? Like, will they do any kind of work on a salvage title or will they not even accept an appointment? I just picked up a 2017 Model S with AP 2.5 MCU1 and at least want to upgrade to MCU2 I didn't even...
