AP2 MCU1 w/ FSD to MCU2 upgrade available?

[steewie]

We've tried that approach but the part that they looked up isn't really MCU2...at least it wasn't when we tried 3 months ago. I don't remember the exact part but it was more like MCU1 v2.

Let me go back to Tesla and find out. Will come back with their response and more details.

Every post I've seen about somebody who got a ~$2,500 MCU upgrade from Tesla in fact got an upgraded version of MCU1 w/ LTE instead of the old 3G only one.

Hi Steewie,

I had the Ultra Violet treatment performed on my X last week.
All of the yellow is gone... It's like a new car...

Back to the OP's inquiry about MCU2, I'm surprised there has not been even light discussion or mention of Elon's twitter comments of the prior day's Electrek article: Elon Musk: Tesla MCU computer upgrade going to be $2,000, but don’t recommend it.

He'd have a good point if all you got from the upgrade was some new games and video options. The biggest problem for MCU1 owners though is what appears to be a memory leak. My charging screen needs to be opened twice to see anything, release notes take 3-4 tries or a reboot, if I go long enough without rebooting my fonts start corrupting. All of this has been going on for so long, I've given up any hope of it being fixed in the ARM version of the code. It's not a defective MCU either, because the problems existed with my prior MCU. I'd probably never use any of the entertainment, but at this point I'd pay just to have the MCU work right.

It looks like if you pay $2,500 to upgrade your MCU1 to MCU2 you can get upgraded to HW3 at the same time, starting late this month: Infotainment Upgrade

When will the Infotainment Upgrade be available for me?
Model S and Model X owners will be invited in groups based on their Autopilot Computer and feature configurations.


Configuration Beginning Availability
Autopilot Computer 2.5 with Full Self-Driving Capability Scheduling Now
Autopilot Computer 2.0 with Full Self-Driving Capability Late March
All remaining Model S and Model X owners Early April

I wonder when you get the FSD upgrade if you decide to stay on MCU1 without the "Enhanced Driving Visualizations".

I think Tesla should just say MCU 2 upgrade requires FSD. Makes the most sense even though money doesn't grow on trees.

Do both upgrades at one time.

Looks like FSD cars w/ AP2 and 2.5 can get HW3 now as a free upgrade.

Not a “FREE” upgrade. That’s the FSD price we paid for

Lol, just meant that it looks like HW3 computer has now been made compatible with MCU1 cars with ap2 and 2.5.

No to the infotainment upgrade if it doesn't include FM/XM radio (which we listen to almost all of the time)

6 years of Tesla ownership across a Model S and Model X, over 100K miles, and I can honestly say I’ve literally never used the FM or XM radio. Between the built-in streaming services and my phone I’m set. Sign me up for the infotainment upgrade!

We could use TuneIn to replace most of our FM/XM radio listening.

But we'd lose access to the live sports broadcasts - which are available only on FM/XM or with premium apps (TuneIn Premium or XM) which aren't available on Tesla vehicles.
