Beach Buggy for 2016 Model S?

[C20916]

I had a recent software update on my car over the weekend and I thought it was going to be for the beach buggy game, but it was only some update for dog mode, which I could care less about. I thought I read an article that the game was rolling out to all cars last week, any idea when it will show up?

Not all cars. Only Model S/3/X equipped with MCU/2 will get the game.

For the hundreds of thousands of Model S and X with MCU/1, we will not get Beach Buggy.

yes just realized I have MCU1 so I won't get it. Any word on when we can upgrade our MCU1 to MCU 2?

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Not being much of a game player myself, I did find it's now that easy to drive the buggy. I'll take the next game though, Advance Summons.

One Day
Expensive (maybe $3K, as out of warranty MCU/1 is around $2K)

Dammit. That's really lame. I wonder why they chose MCU2. In the long run it will probably end up being the least manufactured hardware.

There are already 100k+ MCU1 cars and all new cars are MCU3. Really doesn't make sense.

(1) They can't port over the gaming engine used for the Buggy game over to MCU/1 as it runs a non Intel based processor. Ain't going to happen, sorry.
(2) There is nothing like MCU/3. There is a lot of speculation that the refresh Model S and Model X later on this year may have an updated MCU/3, but right now there is only MCU/2 and MCU/1. Don't confuse MCU and FSD computer (aka AP2/2.5/3), as they are two separate things. One is the larger touch screen, the other is the Auto Pilot computer. (aka FSD Computer).

There was talk of a MCU/1 to MCU/2 upgrade that Elon mentioned may one day come, but we are all waiting over 15 months so far, and nothing has occurred. Also expect the MCU/2 retrofit to come in over $2K as the replacement MCU/1 out of warranty is already that expensive.

Cost of MCU/1 replacement out of warranty.

I have 2017 model S AP 2.0 did not get beach buggy! How do I know what MCU I have?

Almost guaranteed you have MCU/1, but run this web site in your Tesla Browser, and it will tell you which one you have.

ALL 2017 have MCU1. No Beach Buggy for you.

 

[commasign]

March 2018 was when MCU2 was introduced in S and X.

 

[zoeconner]

My money is on it will come out at a later date for us.

I’ll take that bet. Zero chance Tesla is gonna port the Unity game engine to ARM.

Will Model S FSD promise (if purchased) require MCU/2 or is that the milion dollar question.

Autopilot computer has virtually nothing to do with the MCU.
