The greatly updated experience is still not what was promised long long ago.
They seem to have no problem doing plenty of estimating and disappointing with AP 2.5, auto wipers, automatic emergency braking, etc. and the biggest one of them all: full self driving. They have no qualms pre-announcing and pre-selling upgrades to all of these features, but they can't plan to swap out a screen and a metal box? They had five years.

There is a big difference between them giving an estimate and it being a little delayed versus Tesla not making any announcement and then buying a car which cannot be upgraded?
Makes sense. There’s no way they’d want to train service center staff to do retrofits, even if it were as simple as a plug and play replacement, which it most likely is not. Adding to an increasingly burdened service center load doesn’t seem like a very productive endeavor.
Hah, you think you AP 2.5 folks had it bad, search back for us AP2.0 folks and then you'll know what real disappointment is!
Did they explain why?
Is it totally impractical that the cost will be prohibitive or cannot be done at all? Like ap1-2?
It is that they don’t want to do it because there isn’t sufficient SC capacity?
Is it that they don’t want to do it because they want people to buy new cars instead?
Let's keep escalating. They can't ignore it for long

No explanation, but I responded asking why. I also told them that I'm willing to pay and don't expect them to simply absorb this cost.
But I also made the suggestion which Hank had in the other thread about simply skipping certain functionality if possible like such as the 5ghz wifi upgrade or additional bluetooth antenna.

Me neither. For now.
But I still think within two years or so, we'll see a retrofit either replacing failed units under warranty, or a full-blown customer paid retrofit program.
I personally don't believe Tesla would abandon all existing MS/MX customers to date since it's now clear all future development will be on the new platform.
A man can dream.
I think we'll all be calling up HSR motors for upgrades when we decide to do it. I don't think it's a non retrofittable part, I think Tesla just doesn't want to do it.
Send them the link to this thread and show them they have really pissed off some loyal customers
How would this work? Would we be blacklisted by the mothership from getting updates etc
Dream on. This will not happen with the new MCU either. Maybe in the refreshed S/X we'll see these kind of features.
Feature parity between MCU1/MCU2 will continue for a long time.

I think the scenario would be (1) your car is out of warranty, and (2) whoever does the third-party retrofit would offer firmware updates in step with Tesla kind of how CentOS follows

Promised? As in, you read something someone said about something, or did someone actually promise you something particular? I think a lot of people expand a comment into a promise, which it is not.
