I have a Heidelberg Windmill (printing press - jack of all trades type) at my business that I think was made in 1946. It says "made in the US Zone of Germany" (West Germany). We run it almost every day and it must have millions upon millions of impressions. And it still runs great as long as you oil it and replace the rubber elements. So yes everything eventually dies, but some things, if built well, will last a hell of a long time. Those Germans...
Does anyone understand "expected lifetime"? If someone dies at 40 it's like whoa WTF, If someone dies at 80 or 90, they had a good life.... For F-ucks sake I have 10 year old laptops running automated testing 24/7 for months at a time doing JUST FINE. No yellow screens, no mysterious reboots, no "excessive logging failures" and HEY GUESS WHAT If they do experience memory write failures i can replace the memory!!!Technically the failure rate of anything is eventually 100% and the mortality rate of the human race is also 100%
It has 30k miles. I bought it used from Tesla 3 weeks ago so the warranty is to 80k miles. Prior to purchase I had planned to upgrade when available but now that I’ve been driving it for a few weeks I questioned whether it’s worth it. If there is minimal downside to waiting a year or two I will probably wait. If there is a reason to upgrade sooner than later I will probably go for it.
I am going on week 3 of my first Tesla - used 2017 model x 75d. MCU1 is so much better than any car I’ve ever owned and seems amazing to me. Is MCU2 REALLY worth the $2500? Am I missing something?

I just picked up my car from the Service center after installing the new MCU2. It's like night and day. It's so fast and you'll notice the difference right-away. Like I have said before in this forum, going from MCU1 to MCU2 is like getting the same model car but a newer version but without paying a new car price. And it's even better if you have AP and FSD. Moreover, MCU1 may not be able to support future Tesla software releases. I would advice you to get it (if you have $$$) to do so.............it's worth it.
If these reports from other owners that upgraded to MCU2 don't convince you, go down to your local store and drive a X or S that's newer than '18. You don't even need to drive it. Sit in it and use the screen.I am going on week 3 of my first Tesla - used 2017 model x 75d. MCU1 is so much better than any car I’ve ever owned and seems amazing to me.

That's okay with us. Why wait another year?I won't get it. It's typical Tesla arrogance that they would propose an "upgrade" that removes options that you paid for when you bought the car, and then offer no other solution. This is similar to how they've striped options from the new S. You take what they offer or forget it. I've owned my S for almost 3 years, I usually buy a new car after 4. It won't be a Tesla. It WILL be a car with a roof that will open, just like I have now.
First I've heard of that. Is this in writing somewhere?the assurance of a 4 year warranty on this part
Like your metaphor. If MCU1 is iPhone 5, what do you say MCU2? iPhone 11? Really that much difference? They don’t even raise the screen resolution or make the screen even bigger lolMCU1 is fine - until it breaks or until you use the console in a 3/Y or MCU2..
Think about this way: if you've only seen one iphone in your life and it's a iPhone 5.. pretty cool and it does all you need, and it's absolutely amazing...
Same asking. Is there any spec sheet for MCU2?Does anyone know of a factory spec sheet on MCU2 upgrade benefits.sounds like it’s surrounded by lots of “here say”. I’ve been considering it because of being tired to the sluggish response of MCU1.
I think that’s kind of the beauty of the analogy. For some people iPhone 5 and iPhone 11 are basically the same thing. To others they are a world apart given the latter has 50x the total compute power and breezes through operations that makes the iPhone 5 choke like vectorized maps and so on.Like your metaphor. If MCU1 is iPhone 5, what do you say MCU2? iPhone 11? Really that much difference? They don’t even raise the screen resolution or make the screen even bigger lol

Do you think Tesla would discount the upgrade cost to MCU2 if MCU1 failed under warranty? Logically, it would make sense: they would spend $1700-x dollars internally, where $1700 is the quoted cost to replace the MCU1 under warranty, and x is their markup. So presumably they would be ahead of the game if they offered to instead replace the broken MCU1 with an upgraded MCU2 by discounting its installation by by $1700-x-y, where y is an additional margin to make sure they are making money. Win-win!
Unfortunately, I kind of doubt that they would do this.
Either way, this is my plan. I just bought a 2017 100D as a CPO with 2 years of warranty. If my MCU1 fails before the warranty is up, I will ask about the upgrade. If it doesn't fail under the warranty period, I will upgrade a few months before the warranty expires. Who knows, maybe they will have MCU3 by then ;-)
My reasoning is - and to answer OP's question - MCU1 is fine with me. I have a P3D, and yes loading maps and such is faster, but I don’t care about web browsing, Netflix, games, etc. - I have a perfectly fine phone that I keep upgraded that is more than capable of doing all of these things - so I’m ok waiting. The loss of FM radio is actually a bigger deal to me. The ability to rapidly change between morning talk shows is very useful to me! My only hesitation is the map loading speed - it does get frustrating at times when trying to load new destinations quickly after plans change, and viewing traffic updates on the fly.
