Yeah, I agree. I think our proposal here is basically for Tesla to design an alternative MCU1.5 which would use the Intel platform but be a compatible swap for MCU1.Because Tesla has so much free time to develop a bespoke daughter module for the original MCU? Really?
And there would be a limited market for them. (Less thank 300k for sure. But given the cost of bespoke designs, and then ongoing costs for supporting yet another platform combination I would imagine it would come with a bespoke price that would drive the demand way down.)
I just can't see that happening, as much as I'd want that for my car. It'd cost a lot and add yet another MCU flavor they have to constantly support, and we know how much Tesla already struggles with differing configurations and supporting them properly (e.g. how many times has a flavor of side repeater camera / FWD sensor caused an update failure)
