@TonyT did the repair in Southern California, including taking the MCU apart and putting it back together. If you mail it in and can do the disassembly and assembly it is cheaper. I have a late 2014 85 (AP1) with 85k miles.

... and then this is announced: Tesla Finally Offers Infotainment Upgrade For MCUv1-Equipped Cars - Tesla Motors Club
There are some aftermarket suppliers. I believe @Ingineer owns a company that fixes MCUs including fixing the flash memory in MCUs that will fail after a while due to too many log writes. They can probably upgrade the memory too.
Right, which is what I was replying to when you asked the questions. I’m glad I saved the $1700+tax and still have a fully functional MCU (and get to keep FM radio, which is nice when I drive into a cellular dead zone).
I don't understand how upgrading to 32 GB fixes the browser. My browser was working fine until v10 update like everyone else, so it's clearly a software glitch. Are you sure this isn't confirmation bias? Do you have the browser open daily with waze running, and have you had it work for multiple weeks on end without rebooting?
To be honest I’m not a huge user of the browser as you describe. All I can say is that it was completely unusable before the upgrade and now I can do my occasional web browsing easily. I will start using Waze and report back.

I wonder if or when the "old" Tesla S cars will get 2020.8.? firmware update for some of the functionality in 2020.8.1 for the newer cars?

Nevermind, I see it in one of your previous posts. Looking for someone with a P90DL to do this. I'm 150 miles from home supercharging. I might do it while I'm here. No balls...

haha well 2020.12 have the same notes as 8.1. Will drive around later.
Update complete and back on the road. So far, identical to 2020.4.1. No new visualizations. Everything working fine. Max battery and launch mode perfect. Supercharging rate picked up where it left off. Autopilot still really smooth. Browser is still borked but I think that's an emmc issue and not firmware related. I'll update this after my 150 mile drive if anything changes.
