I am skeptical. More likely when you have a car that is essentially a large very heavy brick because the MCU1 failed, you would be willing to pay any price they ask.

Unlikely, if the car's warranty has expired. The other option is to get a "new" MCU1 for $1,400. This will have fresh flash memory, but will eventually meet the same fate as the original MCU1. But by then, most owners would have moved on to a newer vehicle.
Who needs AM/FM these days!?
Whaaat? Drive-in theaters are making a comeback? Dang... going to have to pull that 80's Boombox out of the closet and and a fresh pack of D-Cells.
Empathise with you. I want to get Sentry mode fully operational in my X

I guess outstanding MCU1 units still under warranty are a liability for them, so it's worth it to Tesla to kick in a little discount to encourage replacing them with more reliable units?

They must have heard you! It looks like they are making a new radio upgrade available too ... Infotainment Upgrade
It's started in the whole EU + the UK.
Actually, if you open
https://www.tesla.com/support/infotainment?redirect=no
and switch countries you'll notice that it started everywhere except the Asia/Pacific region. Even in UAE,Jordan and Mexico

An owner, who was having issues with the MCU in their 2015 S, shared this quote to the TOCA FB page for an MCU2/infotainment upgrade they were offered by the Richmond SC.
I booked a service request to enquire (I hate that you can't phone or email them anymore!) and about an hour later the Alexandra SC rang and left a message telling me that it wasn't available and that I should keep checking online to find out when it will be. WHERE IS THIS MYTHICAL PLACE THAT I CAN CHECK ONLINE????

I got my email for the
Warranty Adjustment Program – Touchscreen Component
Our records show that you own, or previously owned, a Model S or Model X that was built before March 2018. It may be eligible for Tesla’s Warranty Adjustment Program covering malfunction of a memory chip (embedded MultiMediaCard). This malfunction may result in a blank or intermittently blank touchscreen but will not impact the ability to drive your car.
Tesla is providing eligible owners who experience a malfunction no‑cost repairs to this part at any Tesla Service Centre for 8 years/160k km from initial delivery date. If you do not experience a malfunction, there’s no need to take action.
If you have already paid for repairs that meet the conditions of the program, you may be eligible for reimbursement. Tesla will send reimbursement details and eligibility by February 2021.
To learn more about the program and its terms and conditions, please click the link below.

I had my MCU replaced in Oct'19 then out of warranty, I hope to get a refund.

I'm in the same boat, had my faulty MCU replaced out of warranty, after much haggling they replaced for 50% cost. Car was 3 years old at the time, but just over the 80,000km.I got my email for the

Late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, a few hours later I made the post above.
I'm getting the occasional black screen and some funny artifacts - I had booked in for a replacement MCU1 in Brisbane on the 2nd Dec. I received that email just after booking in. But they aren't interested in replacing it yet - apparently they want to see a hard failure. So we wait and see what happens in the months ahead.
