Fingers crossed that this works.So, I had a long chat with a guy from Aliexpress where the replacement part mentioned by @rbcopod. He assured me this will function exactly as the original data ports did in pre-musked model y with the intel atom chipset. Guaranteed me return w/o restocking fee but wouldn’t pay freight.
Right now, I’m hanging out waiting for @lagjazz to report back on his install experience. If we don’t get anything from him in the next week or so I’m going to be the next guinea pig….
The Ali website video shows the module with no Tesla branding so it is a knockoff. Remains to be seen if it will function although they seem to think it will.I'm presuming they are clones, not the actual OEM parts. The listing does not claim they are OEM parts.
And why aren’t they selling them to Tesla for 2x the price?@rbcopod got to this quickly and has far more info than I do. I've never looked for replacment/fix parts, being fortunate enough to have gotten all the functionality already there from the factory (i.e., not Musked.)
My question, however, is if Tesla couldn't get the parts, how can AliExpress get them so quickly to offer as replacements?
Having been a global sourcing manager for HP for many years I can tell you that you can’t just pick a new supplier or components Willy-nilly. There are qualification processes and testing and, and, and…. None of this has been done on these parts hence us being the Guinea pigs.And why aren’t they selling them to Tesla for 2x the price?
Also worth noting that being able to play music from your phone or use a wired controller isn't exactly mission critical. If it works, but doesn't technically meet compliance - it's not a huge issue. If nothing else, at least that would prove that a data connection is still possible on Musk'd cars.Caveat emptor very much applies here. Would be good to run some USB compliance tests on it, and also on the OE Tesla parts (with and without MCU connection) as a baseline.
Calling these cars "Musk'd" is a bit excessive. The chip shortages go way beyond Tesla and even the auto industry as a whole. Other automakers have cut features like touchscreens and heated seats due to chip shortages. I don't know your preferences, but to me losing USB data is not so bad compared to those.Also worth noting that being able to play music from your phone or use a wired controller isn't exactly mission critical.

I partially agree. The way it’s handled with zero disclosure from Tesla is what’s infuriating. If people were told about this ahead of time, it would be a non-issue. I paid for a vehicle and I feel like I was mislead/lied to. I bought a Tesla to avoid getting ripped off by sleazy salesmen, but the tactics apparently are the same at corporate…Calling these cars "Musk'd" is a bit excessive.

It's not the cars that are Musked - it's the owners who got Musked by not getting full functionality, an explanation of what happened and what Tesla will do to correct it when the parts are available, etc., including being flat-out lied to by uninformed and/or apathetic sales/service staff.I partially agree.

If we sit idly by when a change like this occurs with no reasonable communication or disclosure we deserve future changes that may be even more egregious. It’s not okay to be Musked. #dontmuskmebroCalling these cars "Musk'd" is a bit excessive. The chip shortages go way beyond Tesla and even the auto industry as a whole.
