MCU fails for the second time

[sorka]

My brand new one crashed (rebooted) the day after it was replaced. It didn't give me a lot of hope to say the least.

Mine was replaced at the 50K service for occasional freezes and Slacker weirdness. The replacement is rebooting on it's own on average twice a day.

Nope the charger isn't even covered under the battery and drive unit warranty. (There is no drivetrain warranty.)

Beyond 50K miles

Best I can recommend is to take video with your cell phone every time it happens. This gives you both proof and an easy way of keeping track of the timestamps for the issues.

That's what I did with about 1/3 of the instances. Not every one since much of the time it wasn't safe to do so, but when it was safe, I took videos which is how I got the time stamps:

3/10 2:22 PM Spontaneous reboot
3/15 11:49 PM Spontaneous reboot
3/20 9:31 AM Spontaneous reboot
3/20 9:57 AM Navigation Needs Service message
3/20 10:07 AM Load error over and over on any slacker channel. Rebooted manually. Reboot loop 3 times in a row.
3/22 7:38 AM Reboot when trying to navigate
3/22 5:28 PM Slacker won't pause. Just plays even though showing paused.
3/22 5:33 PM Reboot when trying to navigate
3/23 7:56 AM Screen frozen
3/28 8:46 AM Spontaneous reboot. No navigation
3/28 8:54 AM Backup Camera has split image.
3/28 8:57 AM No backup camera.
4/1 10:03 AM No backup camera.
4/2 3:27 AM Spontaneous reboot.
4/3 6:39 PM Spontaneous reboot
4/4 4:27 PM Spontaneous reboot
4/8 5:07 PM Spontaneous reboot
4/8 9:01 PM MCU frozen. Won't respond to touch.

I have a 2013 S 85 CPO that i bought in October of 2017 and my MCU shut off multiple times after the latest updates. I brought it into the SC and they said there were some bugs in the hardware and it would eventually go away. I call BS but wondering what happens just before the MCU dies if it shuts of a lot more or what. Just need to know so I bring it in under warranty again before it goes out. I apologize ahead of time if someone already answered this in prior posts I read most of them.

Mine began getting a frequent ‘loading error’ while streaming audio and began freezing frequently. One week after the new MCU my audio froze on 8. I tried everything but ultimately had to reboot. At times I really do feel like a Tesla beta tester. New drive unit next week so hopefully that’s the end of my string of bad luck with the car. I’ve grown tired of the frequent SC visits.

I feel for you Booner I have been in several times and since the last visit they said my MCU freezes would be fixed with the next software update. Has not froze since last visit a week ago but if it does it again I will be asking for a new MCU.

I received a 1458829-00-B as a result of MCU reboots in my 2014 Model S. I’ll use the JSFIDDLE link to find out what I can.

Forgot to add that under 2018.18 software the browser score 304 out of 555 points on html5test.com.

Yes my CID has gone out. I can ping the IC and GW but not the CID.

I could buy another MCU, but then I can't program the Tegra without removing the eMMC, and that's hazardous.

 

[rooter]

Seems to me that starting with Autopilot cars Tesla would have had to upgrade from Tegra 3 to K1. And that maybe the X1 is a drop-in replacement?

Has anyone bought a Jetson dev kit with VCM carrier?

 

[rooter]

... or at least an MXM carrier for nVidia VCM? Ideally that plugs into PCIe?

OK, so we had our center display and MCU changed and have had a problem where the driver display is MUCH brighter than the center display at night. In order to be able to easily read the center display, I have to turn up the brightness and the drivers display is practically in torch mode and very hard on the eyes.

Anyone have this problem? Is tesla able to adjust the relative brightness? Or, is this a reason to ask for a new drivers to get that replaced?

thanks.

 

[Sudre]

Sounds like a programming or setting error to me.

... I hope it was under warranty!

Any idea of the cost (part and labor) for replacing an MCU?

A complete MCU replacement is somwhere in the 3k range. A screen only is 1Kish

 

[TomServo]

Wouldn't a replacement part come with it's own warranty separate from the car? Like say 12 months/12K miles?

Complete MCU is $2,300 now according to my SC (my MCU is fine, I asked out of curiosity).

Good, finally coming down. Used to be 5k before "core" charge came into play
