Dear Tesla and Tesla FSD,
I have owned a 2018 Tesla Model S (75D) & now own 2019 Tesla Model 3. I’m a huge fan of the FSD Beta program in which I am currently enrolled and testing with my Model 3.
Problem:
I do realize the software is in Beta, however I’m contacting you in regards to the hardware installed in my vehicle. Ever since the rollout of FSD Beta, I have noticed that MCU 2 (Intel Atom) is not sufficient enough to handle the visualizations and day-to-day use of the infotainment screen. Normally I wouldn’t let this bother me as I understand technology gets outdated (ie. iPhone slowing down from one generation to the next). However, with the FSD Beta installed on vehicles with MCU 2, it should be imperative for the visualizations to properly reflect real world changes - this is a matter of safety; if the visualizations are either laggy, delayed, or buggy; what sense of confidence does this leave the user to utilize FSD?
Solution:
I am requesting your team to please consider (at least) the FSD customers whom fully purchased this package, and perhaps the FSD Subscribers, to be able to have some form of MCU 3 retrofit - similar to Model S going from MCU 1 to MCU 2. For Model S, this was simply a quality of life improvement. However, for FSD Beta and future FSD users its a matter of safety and accurate reporting.
Conclusion:
I hope to hear back from your team in regards to this request and feedback as I’m sure I can’t be the only one with this is problem, as there are many sub-Reddit’s and TeslaMotorsClub users expressing visualization issues with older MCU 2 hardware.
Thank you for your time and consideration, I hope there will be a solution to this issue in the near future.
Regards,
Arya
