Class action? Tesla is charging $2000 to upgrade 16G RAM for 2021 owners to get steam working in car

[Daniellane]

I called tesla and they agreed to fix my model s plaid for free. That was my argument as well. Call them if you bought it after June of 2022 they actually did the right thing. I had called better business bureau etc and was willing to spend my own money to see it through due to principal of situation. But once I explained the issue they said we were wrong you should have a 16gb ram in your car instead of 8gb and now my cars in shop as we speak being upgraded for free.

I was pleasantly surprised but they did the right thing. Grant it you have to be proactive

June 21, or June 22?

Curious to see if this actually works. Keep us posted.

So here's an interesting twist.

Just ordered a (gently) used Palladium 2021 Model S - hopefully pick it up next week.

The MVPA lists "Infotainment Upgrade" as a feature... Given that, historically, that feature refers to MCU2 upgrades in "legacy" S/X, I'm really, really curious what that means on this Palladium.

Could it be the magical 16GB upgrade? Fingers crossed!

At least you get an upgrade option. Us “legacy” owners get nothing at all.

As for spending $2,000 to play games on a 17” screen? That’s gonna be a negative ghostrider from me TBH. You can get a hell of a gaming rig for that.

They also want 2200 to “upgrade” to no fm radio and more games aka mcu2. Lol. All I can say is my screen is mcu1 and has worked amazing the entire time although it’s a low mileage vehicle. Kudos to Tesla for doing the memory recall when I had the car in for service. It made the screen like a mcu2 car imo

gave free upgrade invoice to Tesla and get this response. Not make sense to me. That means someone is lucky enough to get the free upgrade and we don’t ? They say the invoice is a mistake?

 

[gearchruncher]

Lol. I got that exact same text for a HW3 upgrade when lots of people were getting them for free too. Despite them giving other people it for free after I tried- so it hadn't been "clearly stated to all."
But they make this mistake enough that they have it in a paste buffer!

Car companies demo "features" all the time that don't actually end up in the production version. I don't ever remember seeing anything on Tesla's website promising Witcher or Steam back when the refresh S came out. Tesla also protects themselves by stating in the order language that they have the right to change features prior to delivery.

This was a video of the DELIVERY event.

It's been almost 3 wks, are you happily playing Steam games with an upgraded system?

we should all be more pissed at this guy than tesla giving us half (butt with a) information making us look dumb

Tesla just told me the same thing.

 

[Ryanflynn]

I don't understand your question. Can you expand?

I had meant to attach my question to this post.
