    Anyone else have issues with their 2021 refresh Model S?

    well, they use a 16gb card, and if that card is not installed, the gw will not know or be able to keep track of logs, and config. also, the mcu now has 256gb of ssd build in. I have 2 of those cards sitting on my desk right now and i ran every test you can think of on them and they are fine...

    Anyone else have issues with their 2021 refresh Model S?

    Thats easy. Just take the door panel off, take the mirror assembly off, it has 3 bolts all together. and bend the channel part of the mirror that direct the glass in the correct direction to make the triangle be closer to the door gasket. It takes patience to get it right but that will fix your...

    Anyone else have issues with their 2021 refresh Model S?

    The issue is not the seal. Its how the glass meets the seal. You basically have to open the door panel, loosen the 10mm bolt that holds the glass to the regulator, then slide the glass back and fourth until is perfectly even on the rubber seal when the door is closed. So open door, move glass...

    Salvage flood tesla plaid 2021

    Also lets not forget that if you push 15v to the booster terminals BEFORE making sure all modules have been treated if water got to them, you will most certainly blow srs module and car computer (its mcu, gateway, autopilot, and graphics card in one unit)

    HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

    Well, lcd (touch screen) is compatible between mcu1 and 2. So why would a company that has no customer loyalty give you a new screen? yes i have seen this and happen to me too. I have new lcd screens though so i changed the screen myself. if you are under warranty they will mobile replace your...

    Wiki FAQ: MCU2 Upgrades

    I read the entire thread and let me put a few things to rest: 1. the reason you lose radio when upgrading to mcu2 is the harness. NOT just the module. The digital tuner has a different plug that its shorter (plugs in the top of the module instead of the bottom of the module for mcu1 tuners) the...

    Identical to 2.5. Ap3 computer has hdmi out! I got another one and ill be upgrading my 75d and i want to try and enavle the hdmi and connect to a screen for output. Thats for another day though. cameras calibrate much faster than ap2.5. Backup camera view and trajectory lines look different...

    Just completed successful upgrade to AP3 on an mcu1 ap2.5 car. on earlier firmwares it was glitching like crazy. I have videos to show whatbit does. Now it works perfect on 2020.4.1 but i had to force ap firmware update.

    Loud pop, Model 3 died?

    Correct that it does explode on request from the restraint control module to disconnect 12v power to the contactors. Contactors engage high volt battery and if there is no constant power (12v) to them they open and practically disconnect the high voltage battery. but it doenst happen when you...

    Salvage car, but i still have tesla app access just fine. The physical work is easy. The software part is not. But again, if you want to and you pm me i can probably help out.

    HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

    It works. Software glitches though and installing any firmware is almost impossible unless you have root and even then takes alot of doing. I did the mcu1 ap3 too but i didn’t like the result. Mcu2 and ap3 works perfect on my 2017 s 100d

    Tesla doesnt do those anymore. you will have to reach out to third party people that do it. i did mine and its now identical to my other 2018 mcu2 model s.

    I upgraded my ap to ap3. This is on a mcu1, ap2.5 originaly. Didnt work almost at all. Upgraded the mcu1 to mcu2 and installed v10.1 firmware, everything works perfectly. also note this one of my cars is a salvage so i dont count on tesla for anything. I have app access though since upgrading...

    Warning, rebooting v10 on MCU1 while driving

    I am sorry to inform you that your mcu is dead or dying. just to recap, the car has flash memory partitioned in 2 main active partitions. One is the one thatbholds the running firmware, and the other one is for updating and its offline. When you update, update gets downloaded and installed on...

    I am but i dont remember exactly where its located. If you search for how to check what ap version my tesla has you will find tutorials ok this. Also, Morrison, do you happen to have such a car? I would love to connect to it and get the config out of it so i can upgrade my ap2.0 to 2.5 or even...

    HW3 upgrade waiting room: All FSD Tesla’s

    i just connect to toolbox to find that out for each car i work on. The rule is, if you have MCU1, and have only front cam, that means MCU1 with AP1. If you have MCU1, and have side cameras, you have MCU1 and AP2. If you have MCU2, you have MCU2 and AP2.5, unless your car was manufactured in...

    Also, i have not seen ap2.5 and mcu1 to date. I wonder if you can send me a config foto. In diagnostics mode, click on cfg page and scroll down and send a pic. Or anyway you can get that info. I would love to see it. Or pm me so i can connect to the car and check things myself. I am very curious...

    Tesla does not condone the retrofit to mcu2. I did it myself by changing pinouts on plugs in the back and the required migration of files from old to new mcu. Tesla has the protocols in place for doing the retrofit but they will never offer it.

    Just ignore claims like that. It is pointless to argue such points. Unfortunately, for people like me that like to tinker with my cars and i have unsupported cars as well that i support myself, it will not be good news. They are trying to close the ecosystem off. meaning everything and anything...

    2019.20.4.2

    you are absolutely right. accept for, standar connectivity refers to the model 3s that did not have a celular connection and thus require wifi to download anything at all, and premium connectivity is what is standard in almost all model s and x. and as you see its not over wifi only, but over...

    Checked with him this morning. They are switching over the VPN system all together and until that takes effect they are still running on old servers and yes, we still get firmware over LTE on a regular basis. The reason people think that the updates were over wifi is because they push updates at...

    Prior to 2019.4 tesla has no way to know if you are rooted or not. After 2019.4 updates tesla always knows there is some "corruption" in your flash memory and system files but it still doesnt know if it is rooted or not. Even if you take the car to service and they plug into it to look at...

    2019.20.4.2

    Firmware updates are pushed over LTE all the time. Map updates require WIFI to download. This is confirmed by an engineer that works for tesla that happens to be a friend of mine. So importance can not be judged by this fact. But, as pointed out before by others, they do not waste time and...

    Root will not help you. Well, it will but not really exactly how you want it. There is a ton of features Geo Locked on the car that you will never be able to turn on without breaking any navigation or autopilot features.
