I did expect Dec as well, in 2020...
One observation: Why would they not beta test it on MCU1 if they plan to deliver on MCU1?

Also, why would they would waste time on the 0.2% of cars that have MCU1/HW3? There's some major differences between those MCUs. Like, one works and one doesn't.

Not really what I said.
The combination of cars running HW3 AND MCU1 is microscopic compared to all other combos.
Last I checked, the percentage of cars running 2020.48.37.x was in the single digits. Source: teslafi
Those are the folks with MCU1/HW3....Running year old software.

More like 0.8% according to TeslaFi. All those vehicles under AP3 that are still on 2020.x firmware are MCU1. To be fair, that may not be perfectly accurate, because it's possible that older cars are disproportionately represented in their numbers, but it is probably in the ballpark. So that's still probably O(10,000) vehicles.

Been trying to get them on customer chat but not working.
Ordered mobile service for MCU2 upgrade tomorrow. Put in the notes that it should be free since it's required hardware for FSD Beta. And before anyone says, "but it's in beta and they only promised fully functional FSD", let me remind you...almost everything on this car is in Beta and has been for over 5 years. Including freaking windshield wipers. Lolz

Im curious to know if you can actually get a mobile ranger to come out and replace the MCU for the upgrade......from how it was explained to me when I did it, its fairly long in nature because they have to make sure everything is working as far as software, they had my car for almost 2 days....

Yeah it always starts me out with mobile service. They usually look at it the day before (today) and then call or message me telling me to bring it in for service.
"All cars produced have the hardware needed...."
Geez MCU1 people. Take Tesla to Small claims or arbitration. If MCU2 is required (it clearly is), then they lied to you, and you should not need to pay $1500 to "upgrade".
There are even MCU1 cars still under warranty! Tesla sold you FSD, and it works on other cars, but not yours, and they know how to fix it, but refuse to without payment? What is a warranty for?

I remember being in this exact same position. I new that FSD was around the corner, and I remember asking my service advisor about the issues I was having with MCU1 and I remember him saying that any FSD stuff was probably not going to work with MCU1. I dont know if he knew that for certain or not but I agreed that unless Tesla voluntarily decided to pay for those folks needing the upgrade........which might be a while because at the time all they were doing was preparing to fix the eMMC chips, and that was all. I reluctantly decided to fork over the $1500 and just get the peace of mind....... All that being said, i also feel for them because dropping $1500 for something that was as important to FSD as it is was not an easy thing to do.
