Makes a big difference for the entire segment of users who have old hardware and thus ruled out for MCUv2 upgrade. Once there is awareness among the early adopters ...then sufficient consumer/PR pressure can be exerted on Tesla to make that small change (32GB)on MCUv1 revisions.

2015 ... not 2016 (typo) ... Also Tesla SC has confirmed it is 1 year warranty without conveying any info about MCU revision being new or refurbished ... Interesting really. Lots of questions when I contact them tomorrow.

A'-Lo-HA ! y'all
ZMUKS, read my post #310 and follow the link to the warranty info. Its the exception to the rule, so I would not except the SC folks to always know that info.
Are they saying that you can never upgrade to MCU2 or just that you can't yet? (Since their upgrade page says that it will be compatible "soon".)

There is a lot less logging now. The replacement chip will last much longer. With the MCU being dead for 4 weeks, I'm not sure the recover ability going 3rd party. Advance recovery is probably still possible but much more expensive. We have found the chips to last about 2-8 years. The newer firmwares should have the chips lasting much longer.
They should be able to, They are likely working out some kinks.

Exactly. They will lose AM/FM radio though. Also no real words on when they can perform that upgrade.
Good morning
My first post, long time lurker. My 2014 P85+ has apparently “bricked”. It is a salvage title, yesterday evening it presented the handles on approach, however all screens remained dark, (off), when I closed the drivers door I was locked out. The mirrors nor door handles have retracted, but I am unable to access the vehicle with the key fob.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Any one in Phoenix Arizona vicinity who repairs, replaces the MCU?

The handle wont retract? The IC should still come on, unless your 12V is dead.
Have you tried to jump start?
We can help with MCU repairs.
Just so everyone knows, I tried to get an MCU2 upgrade for my 2014 ap1 s, right now they are not doing them. Also there is no discount if you buy the refurbished MCU , then upgrade to MCU2. Just shipped my chip off, fingers crossed its a successful repair.
Thank you for the info.
Here is the exchange with S
Thanks ... Will do so. Thought they have made it clear (after I posed them explicit question) that the MCU revision is re-manufactured rather than new + comes with just 1 year warranty (4 years warranty applies at car level ... rather than parts ... according to them)
