Has anyone heard anything about a possible retrofit of the new faster smoother MCU (computer/touchscreen) for older X and S owners?
agreedInteresting, I guess we should try the software upgrade first and go from there.
"... The MCU (the main 17" touch screen and computer unit) on my 2013 Model S has failed for the second time, this time out of warranty. The first time Tesla replaced it under warranty, but this time it's costing me more than $3,000 ...."
I'll take the software please...I remember a while back - I almost $h1p'ed myself when i read how much the MCU cost - out of warranty;
MCU fails for the second time
wonder if the cost has come down any ... if not - maybe yours truly will be keeping an eye open down the road for a new MCU recently involved in being salvaged.

He didn’t really say an upgrade path is coming. He didn’t mention retrofit either. He only said you can upgrade the hardware. What he tweeted is open to interpretation. I’ll believe it when I see it. However he did say the software to improve MCU1 is coming. When? Soon, in EM time.Musk just tweeted today there is upgrade path coming but also said new software code should greatly improve older MCUs. i think this is great move by Tesla. just wondering the price when announced.

You have the old one.Took MX delivery in late December 2017.
Took MX delivery in late December 2017. How do I determine which MCU I have? (I have not been bothered by any perceived UI sluggishness, BTW.)
Could be. On the other hand, you might have to upgrade the whole car. At this point I'm happy with my P85D from June 2015. I don't think the improvements since then have been significant enough to tempt me to go for a new one. Only the 3G to 4G upgrade was at the right price for me to do that swap out.I'm hoping that a MCU retrofit will also allow an upgrade to the older rear camera. I tried to upgrade just the camera in my 2015 Model S and was told that it was impossible because of incompatible hardware.
