Dont know where to begin

I started having issues with constant rebooting, including while driving

now I have uncontrolled AC and Songs. cant lower volume

Driver screen bubbling, and error message now on display

Center Display Unavailable

I scheduled service and they set this up as a Mobile Service?

What do I have going on here?

CPO warranty till 2021 and 99,000 miles

currently at 80k

Will both units be replaced? Driver and 17 inch unit?

I also have been getting less miles per charge

Thanks

Could easily be your MCU1 crapping out. But that's the general purpose answer for all of those problems. My SC starts all appointments as mobile and changes to the Service Center if necessary. Some battery degradation is normal, though sudden drops are unusual. Ask them to replace the IC display.

Following for update. This recently came up on my IC and the center display was frozen, but a MCU reboot fixed it. The message still shows though. I have also seen random reboots while driving, but it has not fully quit yet.

Just got pushed 2020.32.1 and this notice appears to have gone away. I have yet to drive after the update, but it was previously persistent when opening the door to enter the vehicle, so I’m cautiously optimistic.

car is back at tesla.
homelink does not work
navigation is stuck on service center location
they think its the antennas on the back of the MCU
main screen still fades to dark and then gets brighter
driver screen flickers grey to black
while tesla employee was in car it did its thing and they saw it happen
did get a p90d loaner on chill mode
Hope they can fix it

Ugh, just got the same “center display not available”. It was alternating with the “pleas wait while vehicle system powers up”. I did a reset and it woke up. Everything appeared to be working but “center display not available” stayed on the whole drive. I did one quick stop and hoped that the message would be gone when I started up again. Nope, still there. I did a 4 finger reset when I got home. I’m hoping it recoverers, but I’m afraid I might be in the same boat. 75D, Dec 2017 build, MCU1, AP 2.5. S/W 2020.24.6.11

“Center display unavailable” showed up yesterday morning and stayed up all day. MCU booted up just fine. No issues. Same with cluster screen. No issues. So I called and made appointment. Tesla remote diagnostics called and diagnosed as a possible firmware glitch. It is a new message It’s believed to be notifying erroneously. Late last night it has gone away for me. Firmware 2020 24 6 11.
