Any ideas? I don’t know if I should have it towed via roadside assistance. I’m an hour away from home. I’m doing a factory reset to see if it’s just some computer thing because it only happens when turning.

Clunking sounds

Umm, that’s def not anything s/w is gonna fix. Something is def broken with the suspension or components around the wheel, like something dangling causing the clunk. Is it localized to one side/wheel? That’s not a slight rub/noise. I wouldn’t drive the car. Have you inspected yet to see if there’s something obvious?
So it was driving fine straight but not on turns. I ended up towing it to Paramus Route 17 S/C last night at 1am. They called just now confirming they got it and are looking at it. They also said it might be suspension related. *sugar* this is probably gonna cost me a *sugar* ton.
The service center just called me. They said it is suspension related but the motor is also starting to go bad. So they are coding everything to be replaced under the motor warranty, including the suspension items. This is amazing. $0 out of pocket and $1,300 Uber credits until I get my car back. I'll take a break and use Uber when I need to. Helps in NYC.
I asked about MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade under the new email that came out, and how much it would cost to replace it. It would be about $2,500+tx. I'm thinking to do that since I have been wanting to. If they can do that while they work on the motor within the same timeframe, I'll do it and enjoy the Uber credits.

Something about rear axle on the left side, something half shaft, I wasn't sure but I asked if they can send me the full invoice with all the work done and parts replaced. I will post it here for reference. And yeah they said it would be done Nov 26 so I guess they give you $100 a day in Uber credits which is very helpful when I need to go around.

Make sure they certify that the rear camera night vision won't be affected by the MCU upgrade - mine is unusable!
Will do. I'll send them a text now so I don't forget.
Your camera is complete unusable? Is it just black? What did they say about it? Need another service appointment? Also, how are you liking the MCU2 upgrade aside from the rear camera trouble. I have a pre-autopilot model so I wouldn't get the dashcam, autopilot, visualization features.

I don't have enough bad things to say about the mcu2 upgrade. That's not true, I have only 3 bad things to say:
1. $2,500!?!?!? for just a slight increase in speed/responsiveness - I was probably one of the lucky few who's MCU1 was pretty responsive before it failing. I also did not suffer form yellowness on the MCU1 screen - I did have a few bubbles however.
2. As already mentioned - the rear camera at night is unusable. I think what makes it so is that it is to "contrasty" - you can see bright objects, but then the cutoff is so severe that other objects that are not directly illuminated by the reverse lights are completely obfuscated.
3. The audio is a step backwards. Difficult to explain, but the sound stage has shifted and there's not as much punch.
I have a 2012 - pre autopilot Model S - so many of the MCU2 features are lost on me, which is probably why I'm so down on it
But to put this thread back on topic - I just changed my front sway bar links because of clunks, took me 15 minutes, cost me $50 and the clunks are gone - as an added bonus, the car drives like new again!

I saw your other post about it. Hopefully there will be an update to fix it. How are you liking everything else about it? Netflix, YouTube, responsiveness? My screen is SLOW and I was looking to get another M3 or MS, but with this upgrade and the warranty work from this post I think I am gonna just stick to this car. It will feel like a new car.I don't have enough bad things to say about the mcu2 upgrade. That's not true, I have only 3 bad things to say:
