My SC gave me quote for both. 3510 or 3160. Looks like the price on website is BS

Scheduled a Mobile appointment to do MCU1 to MCU2 on my 17 X. Got a text this morning saying they had pushed it out by a couple of week, moved to the MTL SvC and ordered the specific parts for my car. Sent me an estimate via email. All scheduled for the 21st of July. Anyone done it? How long did it take and how did it go?

Great. Canadian techs will test out the install on your car first. ;-) Kidding aside, do let us know how it goes. I'll report pack after mine too. Particularly interested in the speed at which they do it.

I am thinking of doing it also.
Mcu2 is replaced.
Do you know if dashboard is also.
In USA section, members are saying that too.
Do you know?
Looking forward to your review
Thanks

Do you mean dashboard as in the 17" screen or the instrument cluster? I understand they were swapping the 17" but if you mean the IC.

Got mine upgraded yesterday. Took Ranger 5 hours in total. I opted to have the screen replaced for an additional $300-ish as the original was yellowing again despite Tesla's UV fix. Total $3510 excluding tax.
Feels like a brand new car again .... although I have noticed the driver side DRL led burnt out (again) .. FML

Please give us your review.. I am waiting to go ahead too.
Mine already has hw3.
So mcu2 only left to be done.
You are on which firmware now?
I am waiting after 2020.20.12(I am at). Checking the stop sign stop.
Thanks

Drove to work this morning, calibration took about 8km of driving (instead of 20km which was advised by Ranger) along stretch of highway before completion and autopilot enabled. Full visualization of traffic lights, cones and directional signs. I'm on firmware 2020.20.1
MCU has snappier frame-rate and no longer do I need to wait for 2 seconds to manual turn on headlights. Still instinctively pausing when I don't really have to lol.
Sentry mode uses all 4 cams and the rear cam image is better than my wife's X LR which is a surprise.
Ranger was able to export all MCU settings (Homelink, seat settings and even Spotify - mid-song !). The only thing I had to do manually was to set up BT to phone.
Confirmed with Tesla that I still have premium connectivity rather than changing to subscription which was a pleasant surprise (I'm sure Tesla could have fleeced me there if they really wanted to)
Haven't toyed around with the arcade games. I have a gaming rig at home. Don't ask me about the Tuner, never once used it since my first Tesla in 2015 till now.
These are the immediate impression I got driving to and fro work, and it does feel like a new car again.
$ well spent. Not many MCU2 silver S kicking about these days (Sept 2018)

One more difference: Wifi & LTE reception is way better, no more dropped signals. FYI MCU1 uses Parrot wifi module, whereas MCU2 uses LG wifi module.
Yes, he did it all in the garage wearing gloves and mask throughout the entire process. Would have been really awkward to hover around him given the current pandemic hence I should watch what he did step by step
He stressed the main limiting factor is the wifi speed. Some jobs took him 8 hours as the customer did not have strong home wifi signal to the car.

someone mentioned it is changed to 2 years now as of June 1.
So someone who did the upgrade can confirm.
As per this link, it seems the MCU2 warranty is now 2 years.
