It's official! Tesla website says HW2.0 cars "scheduling now" for MCU2 upgrade!

For those that have upgrade to MCU2, worth it? So far I’ve decided to wait and see what happens.

Yes. I can’t imagine using mcu2 then going back to mcu1

For those that have upgrade to MCU2, worth it? So far I’ve decided to wait and see what happens.

I am scheduled and confirmed mobile service for the FSD upgrade without the MCU1 to 2 upgrade on 6/25. I want to see for myself what features are missing besides the cones and other minor FSD visualizations with MCU1 before I consider the MCU2 upgrade. Personally, I don't play the games or miss them. I wouldn't use Netflix or Hulu. I don't use the internet browser and can't think of a reason why I would. My wife uses FM radio when she borrows my car . So, not worth it for me as of yet. I heard rumors that the dashcam works to USB stick only. If true, then I don't think I would update. Unless there is some unforeseen future capability that would launch Mr. Roboto to Mars, I am not motivated.

Especially for those who are older. If you factor in a FSD+MCU is $10,000. There’s threads of a battery swap from a 60/75/90 to a 100kwh for...?? Extended warranty for $4,500. These things start closing the gap on a trade in.

If the battery upgrade is available at some point, based on price, I would consider that. MCU2, nope. I opted out of the extended warranty a year ago. I have had one repair done to replaced the 12v battery for $450. That item would have not been covered anyway. So, I am still good.

If/when your MCU1 fails, would you repair the chip? Or would you upgrade then?

If it fails, I would replace it with MCU2.

I gotta say I have zero regrets in upgrading my MCU. Voice commands work. Smoother web browsing. Netflix while charging. Nothing but joy now! All this on a 2016 MX that seems like a brand new car now!

What was the total cost as I know some folks are being charged different amounts?

I got the text an hour ago that my X is done with service, so I can’t wait to pick it up tomorrow with MCU2 and FSD upgrade complete. They had the FSD chip for weeks before the MCU2 chip arrived (so unfortunate!) but it’s now near the end...looking forward to trying it out!

2500 plus tax in your state. Mine was 2700ish

I agree 100%. Navigation, audio controls, voice commands, and LTE all work smoothly now; as good, or better, than they did in my Model 3. Money well spent, IMO.

$2500 + tax in California. Total ~$2700

Got my HW3 and MCU2 upgrade. It’s smoking fast and, anecdotally of course, I feel like the X drives better on Autopilot with the new chip.

As the kidz say these days, NO RAGRETS.

After 2 years of waiting, Tesla upgraded my 2017 Model S from HW 2.0 to HW 3.0!

 

[njhtran]

Got mine today too! I can't tell any difference but I'm happy for some reason!

Does MCU2 allow netflix and hulu while driving? I thought that's illegal

No.

It does not. But my iPad Pro has a nice stand that sits on the center console to stream Netflix while I’m driving.

KIDDING!!!

lol. Ya I personally have no use for it but I could see how passengers would. So why exactly is this even a feature If the car isn’t driving? Is it normal for people to sit in their cars and watch movies parked?

While supercharging, maybe.

I use mine while supercharging all the time.
