AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

[mbhforum]

Because it's a standard message or they like to tease people?

If it was standard, it would mention the traffic visualization, music mixed, etc. There was some level of customization here for MCU 1 folks to tailor this for us it appears. I hope I am right...

Speaking of hammering our old EMMCs. I got the new software, tried to install, bricked the car...

Fast forward 5 days.. $2050 later I had to,have Tesla replace my MCU... just feels wrong.. roll our software that eventually breaks your hardware then your forced to buy new hardware from the company that “caused” the damage...

trying to find a real life analogy that this is true with.

looks like they are really trying to hammer our old eMMCs

I am hopeful for AP1 and text message support which has been the single most important feature to me I’ve been waiting for. Why else would I have this in my app?

Didn't notice that until you mentioned it, and I found it in my app too. Gives me hope. Although I feel like we've been promised features before that never came to fruition (on/off ramp AP, etc)

I was hopeful they would come out with a MCU1 to 2 upgrade before mine fails on me, but the recent tweets by Elon have basically convinced me that won’t be happening. I would hate to pay $2k for another MCU1 that will fail again in 4 years.

Refurbs should have a better eMMC chip in them. But they probably don’t.
I don’t know if anyone has had the MCU replaced and cracked it open to see if a more robust eMMC chip is in there or if it’s the same crappy one.

I’d bet money it’s the same. Using a different one will confirm the old one was inadequate/improper. From what I’ve heard that isn’t Tesla’s public opinion.

Had mine replaced right before it went out of warranty last year and the part number was for the same MCU1. I assume I have about 3 years to go until it to fails.

Had mine apart recently and it's the same chip. My MCU has been replaced twice now by Tesla under warranty. Last one was done in December of 2018.

Good to know. Cutting corners, except on the Cybertruck, which is nothing but corners.

There is someone in California who used to be here on the forum who explained why MCUs brick up eventually. The programmers who developed the car originally left the Linux kernel logging turned on and it writes to a flash memory chip soldered onto the mother board. All flash memory has a max lifetime write limit and when that's reached, the memory becomes read only. The Linux kernel seizes up when the logging chip fails.

He has a service where he will replace the chip and disable the kernel logging on MCUs that have reached the limit. The techs will never check that log, the logs they check are a different memory and it gets a lot fewer writes. I'm not surprised the MCU chose an update to have a seizure, at that time it would be pouring tons of data to the logs.

When my car goes out of warranty I may pay him to fix this so it won't fail on me.

So why doesn't Tesla turn off the unnecessary logging? Same reason there's obsolescence built into door handles - repair revenue?

Is it possible to upgrade the battery on a 2015 85 Model S to the newer 100 KW battery? I am assuming that this would cost about $10K?

without searching I believe Jason said it would be about 20K, if your 85 pack is in good shape.The hard part is locating a salvaged 100 pack. Last I heard Tesla won't sell you one.

 

[dark cloud]

Well got a little bored supercharging as I don’t have Netflix, and I was curious to see the numbers again, so I dug it up but I stand corrected: it would be 19k + 11k for a basic 85 car to go to a p100. If you don’t want the performance motor 5k cheaper?

excessive syslogging is already disabled starting on firmware v2019.32.*.* (I believe. it could also be 2019.36.*.*, I don't feel like looking at my notes)

 

[IchDochNicht]

Anyone with AP1 get the new update that reads text messages? Just looking for confirmation that this will be an AP1 feature also!

Not, yet.

Still hoping that someone can confirm that V10 made AP1 much smoother than before. Is that true, or my imagination?

 

[BozieBeMe2]

Ok looks like they're continuing to look into the MCU 1 issues. Please, need more people to visit www.tesla.com/support and report the problem so they have more data.

2015 MS85D AP1, Tech package - Mobile Eye
31,000 MI
Downloaded the latest firmware tonight,
v10.2 (40.2.3 40ef2d4d1432)) 28 Dec 2019, Still no browser, no release notes or owner's manual
Our car has had 7 different firmwares, numerous re-boots and still no browser.
About 4 months ago I took the car into the service department and they said they would look into the problem and get back with me.
Still waiting.
I guess my patience has worn thin and I need to submit a support ticket, call, take the car back or all of the above!!

Also read here on the forum tonight that this latest firmware 40.2.3, might cripple our car even further by restricting our charging speed and even diminishing our regen capability!! Great, just great
Our SC experiences are already taking longer already compare to when the car was a year old.
The charging starts off like it use to, around 120, then ramps down from 110 to 60 all within 20 minutes of starting

AP1 is so smooth now, just perfect.

What issues did you have with it before?

Newest update has peppier lane changes (it feels). AP1 has always been great for me.
