The difference is MCU1 has a 100% mortality rate. Covid is far less.Probably has COVID 19, in <20 days it will die. Trump just waived co-pays, so i would submit the $2500 co-pay for reimbursement.

MCU shut off every morning

Yes - BUT my understanding is that the model 3 liquid cools the MCU and this will probably make a big difference.
That and they have increased the size of the eMMC, probably moved to a higher quality part, and they have reduced the logging. So in current S&X and Model 3 the MCU should last much longer than the 4-7 years that the MCU1s have been lasting the the S.
Heh, thanks. I called them on it and they called back to tell me the quote is now $1300. Appreciate everyone's help!

Don't sweat it. Its LTE. Many have already reported LTE. That would have been $500 if separate from the MCU fix. Helps us swallow the $1300 price tag.
I just called the same guy who called me to set up the service appointment. 510 area code which includes Fremont, so my guess is that he works up at the plant.
MCU is now completely dead. Service appointment was scheduled for this morning. That of course got cancelled thanks to the California COVID-19 lockdown. Rescheduled for the 30th, but who knows if that will happen. Blargh.
Car is driveable and still charges to my previously set level of around 70%.

Barry, did Tesla provide any sort of documentation that you can defend yourself when you go to sell or trade and the odometer doesn't match what the car is/should/would be?
Where did he say that the odometer doesn't report what it should? I assume it is just like a factory reset you lose your trip meter data, but not the odometer.

Mike, he has a more detailed report on replaced MCU on Tesla.com. But you are right, on both he only mentions lifetime wh/mi, but I had in my head odometer. My mistake. But it makes me wonder. Where are odometer readings stored if not on the eMMC?
3rd party guys that replace just the eMMC work hard to recover all the info from the eMMC before they pull and put a new chip on. From what I have heard, Tesla just pulls the MCU and puts a new one in and the old one goes back for refurb. Then Tesla downloads new security certificates, car ID files and sometimes updated firmware for the car. But if Tesla doesn't save any files or data from the old eMMC/Tegra card, how would they have odometer stuff? The 3rd party guys don't have access to fresh security certificates so its critical for them to recover all the data they can, which would include the car id files.
Just doesn't make sense - how, - you know?

As far as I know they are stored in the gateway, which is a separate computer that is part of the MCU but doesn't fail with the eMMC, and also in the rear drive unit. I think the rear drive unit high precision odometer is the master, but they are verified to match against each other.

Just to confirm, odometer reading was intact after replacement.
Just drove by an open Jiffy Lube, and as I understand it, auto-repair services fall into the “essential” exemption. So why aren’t the Tesla service centers open?
