IC Bubbles $1300. Worth it?

I have them too on my 2015 and have an appointment to get it replaced/fixed with Tesla in December. Mine is being replaced by warranty.
It's just cosmetic so it really is up to you. Not sure I'd pay $1300 for something like this

If you're handy, you can do it yourself. I used this replacement: Instrument Cluster to replace bubbled and leaking Tesla Model S and X screen — ReelDeal EV - EV Car Parts and Accessories
I followed their video and knocked it out in a couple hours. I just needed to run out and grab longer extension for my ratchet. 12" should be fine, you'll need that to get to the fireman's loop connector.

Better value is to perform the MCU2 upgrade. $1500 (+$500 if you opt to keep FM radio) to get MCU2, new IC and new center display (neither of which will leak glue).

$1300 to replace just the screen is definitely NOT worth it since Tesla will replace the entire computer with a much faster one AND both screens for $1500.

Yeah I was talking to a service advisor and he told me about this upgrade. Has bulked done this with a 2013 or similar MS? I’m seriously considering it since I have the bubbles on the IC too. And the incremental benefit for $200 seems well worth it.
