Do you have any stats on whether or not streaming could be a contributing factor? We have a couple cars which only stream music but in my daily driver, I only use the radio unless I'm on a long road trip. I wonder if all the caching that is done for streaming could cause those "streaming-only" cars to have problems sooner.
Just a data point for you. I'm at 110k miles, Feb 2016, pre refresh build. Always connected, no power saving (thanks to the USB re-scan issue). 90/10 split between USB audio and streaming, maybe even 95/5. A few long trips where we were updating map tiles frequently, but not a lot of fussing with it regularly and certainly not day to day NAV use.
I was told from deep inside Tesla that their internal "warning" limit for write cycles is 2800 on the Tegra memory chip (hex number converted to binary). Others on here have said that normally chips like the one in the Tegra are rated for 3-5k write cycles. So those two numbers from different sources aren't in contradiction.
As of last week, and almost exactly 4yrs, I was at 2500 write cycles.
Now I've certainly seen the symptoms for about a year; hard crashes, super long reboots, the text all screwed up with missing letters, but there you have it, 90% usage of the chip. I'm certain that heavy streaming could have sped that along because one owner I know had their MCU replaced 3 months ago for the exact same symptoms, half the miles, same car age, all streaming audio.
