Priority is always (1) new cars, and then (2) new cars.
And coming up as a distant (3) is new cars.

I wasn't saying your emmc is failing, rather that if it's over half way to death and therefore much slower than when it was new. As cells wear and as the emmc fills up, it will slow down as the chip firmware has to do more for every write to wear level. The new emmc I put in my car should fail in 140 years if I extrapolate the fact this the original lasted almost 5 years. Why bother with such an overkill? Because for the next 14 years I want it to have the same performance as my original emmc had in the first 6 months of its life.whitex,
From what I've read the emmc usually fails after 4 years or longer depending on mileage. My car is only 2 1/2 years old and very low mileage. Really doubt the emmc is failing. Guess if it fails in the next 1 1/2 years I get a new one under warranty. If it fails after that I would just do the $2500 MCU2 upgrade, begrudgingly because of losing the AM/FM radio. Hell, if you didn't lose the radios I might have done it just to get the faster browser. But getting a couple games (never will use) and faster browser while losing radio is NOT worth $2500, maybe $500 or do the extra work required to keep the radio and charge $1500

So far all reports from members here say it has to be totally bricked. I inquired about browser not working before my warranty ended, I was told it's a known issue and some future update will fix it - standard Tesla line for "no fix available which would be covered by warranty".Thanks. At what point will they replace my mcu under warranty? I mean if it is slow and half dead, can I get them to replace it or does it have to be totally bricked dead?
That is very surprising. The browser in my 3 is very usable though on the rare occasions that I am parked long enough to use it, I much prefer Netflix or YouTube. I do plan to spend the $2500 to update my 12/2016 S to MCU2 regardless, but can’t understand why the browser wouldn’t work as well as the one in my 3.Used to work for me in MCU1. Now after V9, even on MCU2, it's more useless than it's ever been. Not missing much there.
Most owners don’t own two Teslas to compare MCU1 vs MCU2, but as one who does I am spending the money for much faster map response more than any other benefit. (Netflix, YouTube and a usable browser are nice, but I don’t think many of us use those features much — unless one is living in the car.) Of course $2500 is a lot of coin. Hopefully I am avoiding the dreaded “emmc” failure on my 12/2016 or else the expenditure is probably a bit of a waste of money.whitex,

1. Doesn't support split screen to leave a web app running while doing other things.That is very surprising.

Our Model 3 screen is much more responsive than my Model S 2017 screen.Most owners don’t own two Teslas to compare MCU1 vs MCU2, but as one who does I am spending the money for much faster map response more than any other benefit.
