Sometimes it helps to let the system shutdown and sleep. I've noticed delays when I'm using camp mode a lot and charging. Also the wheel configuration reset helps.

10+ minutes to start my "old" tesla is just an inconvenience b/c I chose to do the eMMC recall and install firmware updates

Not my car, thank god. Why have a car you can’t depend on in a crunch? Definition agree with you the OP should get rid of it for something reliable.

This is good advice as long as you have opted out of the arbitration clause. I didn't, to my chagrin. I'm never making that mistake again.1) Pay for the infotainment upgrade.
2) Sue Tesla in small claims court for reimbursement. No lawyer necessary.
How to sue Tesla over historical claims
I sued Tesla in small claims and won. Twice! You can too. I had two claims: I have a car with AP2.5. Tesla advertised this car as having “all hardware needed for full self driving capability.” When I went to subscribe to “Full Self Driving Capability,” Tesla required a $1,000 hardware upgrade...teslamotorsclub.com
Edited to add: I think "pearl-clutching" is a little uncalled-for. IMO there's a reasonable case to be made that there are safety concerns, although my own reasoning goes more like (at least in my case, before I ate the upgrade cost and made the problem go away), (a) the car can be put in gear and driven while the MCU is still floundering, but (b) the reverse cam doesn't come on. Rear viz sucks without the reverse cam. The net of (a) + (b) is that there's an increased risk of something bad happening while you're reversing, if this were not true there wouldn't even need to be a reverse cam, so it shouldn't really be up for debate.
This reminds me that I should get around to filing a NHTSA report and maybe writing a letter to my state AG, for whatever good it'll do me. (None, that's what, but maybe it'll do somebody some good.)

No kidding? Shame on me for not noticing that. Time for me to go check whether I screwed myself by not filing timely. Thanks!

To me, that’s like saying leave the fluorescent lights on all the time because they take a while to get bright.

I know. I just don’t like it when Tesla recommends that as an answer. My leaf takes no significant vampire drain and it starts quickly. Both of our teslas cost electricity even when sitting in the garage.
And they don’t actively heat/cool the battery in standby in moderate climates.

Still Trying to Figure This All Out
For the Model S, won't range mode kill this? Not totally sure this works in Standby like it does when driving, but you think it would.
Lately, for extended driving (cruising), I have had to turn on range mode to keep a reasonable level of range in my 2016 Model X. It made about a 10% improvement. That is even with preconditioning the cabin with Range Mode off and plugged in.

Looking harder, this doesn’t seem to be the case for the Extended Service Agreement, which is what my claim would be under. I still ought to (and will) pursue the claim though.

I did pay out of pocket. And (shame on me) I still haven't pursued every escalation path I could, in order to be reimbursed. I haven't given up on it but now the the problem is fixed, the urgency is reduced and so it keeps getting shuffled back...
