Elon says a fix is on the way. Probably change the software so it will not write so much/so often to the chip.

So you ok if I change it to 4 years instead of 3?Your wish is granted.
Why would Tesla warrant a paid MCU replacement for four years and unlimited miles if they regularly fail within 3 years?
How many 2016s have we seen with dead MCUs? Surely some but to suggest an epidemic is gross, hyperbolic exaggeration.

How is this fix going to undo the damage already done to the EMMC, or magically repair the ones which already failed? Or is this like lots of other things Elon delivered and fixed - only for people buying new cars after the fix is implemented?Elon says a fix is on the way. Probably change the software so it will not write so much/so often to the chip.
You misunderstand.For my (2017) car it's not unlimited - new car warranty is 4 years OR 50k miles, whatever comes first...
Forgot to add ~$2500 every 3 years for MCU failure

Is this in writing anywhere?Nope.
Nope, again.
Even if the MCU failed every 3 years, which they don't all, the out of warranty replacement is warrantied for 4 years. That means that when the replacement fails in 3 years they replace it for free and you get another 3 years.
Also the price has recently dropped to ~$1,800.
So in a worst case scenario it is ~$1,800 every 6 years for the MCU failure. (or $300 per year.)
Nope.

Actually, if the replacement MCU that you paid for fails during the warranty period, you only get the remainder of the warranty period or (I think) 1 year, whichever is longer. You do not get another 4 year extension on the warranty unless you pay for the second replacement MCU.
So you are wrong. If they replace again within 4 years it does not extend for another 4 years. At least I don't see it in writing?

I never said that they extend it...

It would be a good idea if you reread your quote again

What if the replacement fails after 1 year? So you just assumed that even replacement will last for another 3 years?I don't see where I said they extend the warranty:
You get 3 years of use, it fails, they replace it under warranrty, you get 3 more years of use. So paying for one replacement you get 6 years. (Again going under the false pretense that all MCU1s fail after three years.)

That's what I asked if it's in writing how long the replacement part is warrantied for?
That's what I asked you if there is anywhere inwb

I know replacement headlights (drl dimming) they had verbally said warrantied for 1 year not 4 years.
May be I should have asked more precisely about warranty replacement MCU.I was just going based on your statement that you would have to replace the MCU every three years:
You made it sound like you were questioning my statement saying that the warranty was for 4 years:
Which is why I pointed you to the warranty page that shows that a replacement MCU is warrantied for 4 years.
Do you have a invoice indicating this price. I'm going in tomorrow to have my dead eMMC/MCU replaced. That price sounds way better than the $2800 I've seen on other posts.Nope.

I know replacement MCU is warrantied for 4 years but if it breaks in just under 3 years and Tesla replaces it again. What's the warranty on that second replacement part? If it's only 1 year or remaining of original 4 years warranty you are still stuck with another replacement after 4 years. In worst case scenario you are stuck with replacing MCU every 4 years.

Everything was done by Tesla; the part number (and price) is what alluded me to the fact that it was not a new part. I can't say what was actually refurbished on this but it comes with a 4 year/unlimited mileage warranty so if it was just an old MCU with a new screen, I'll be covered when this thing fails.
Using the replacement unit, I actually find it to be less responsive than my old one and some text has briefly glitched on me once already.
