MCU2 upgrade cost

[NorthofYYZ]

Just saw on reddit that the cost for the MCU1 to MCU2 upgrade for pre-2018 S/X owners has dropped to $1,500 in the US.

Still $3500 for us north of the border. Straight USD to CAD conversion would make it ~ $1950 CAD.

US version:
Infotainment Upgrade

Canadian:
Infotainment Upgrade

It was reduced in UK as well. I suspect we will soon get the price reduction as well. I wasnt going to do it with an AP1 car at >$3k but I may bite at $2k.

I imagine you are well outside the warranty period? I am experiencing the early symptoms of MCU1 failure but thus far Tesla is refusing to address it. I just paid over $1,300 for a recent repair so, I am not that keen of spending any more money on this car.

I am still under extended warrantee for another 10 months. My MCU1 seems to work pretty well. Rarely crashes or reboots and the browser even works from time to time (I use it for tesalwaze). The voice commands work after failing the first time.

I wonder if the EMMC fix makes the browser much more usable?

Figures, two weeks after I get it, the price drops.

Forgot about the voice commands. Another area where mine is barely working.

Me too! I got a 2016 S that I just bought off and my wife drive a 2020 3... honestly, havn't found a reason to upgrade the entire car yet for more range or speed.. This upgrade might push off me buying a new car for another 4 years; saving some money lol.

2k now.

I spend $3510 last year and now is $2000, it's no brainer to upgrade! You can even get radio install for extra $690, still cheaper than previous price.

Wow!! Snooze and lose such the Tesla story

 

[NorthofYYZ]

I am TOTALLY taking credit for this development!

I can do you one better - I just had mine done last week.

I sent an inquiry about refunding the difference - as expected they told me to go pound salt.

Typical Tesla BS.

I had ours done in November. This is not nice. I get it, “it was my decision and it is an agreement. So if it was the other way round would you also pay more blah blah blah...”
However, we are talking not about $20, $50 or even $100 price difference. It is over 40%! I already paid premium dollars for my MX in 2017. A comparable MX would be tens of thousand cheaper now. This leaves a bad taste..

 

[Oveeus]

I think I'd bite for 2k for upgrading the MX. Does anyone know how much extra is for the screen?

 

[hingisfan]

Isn't there a chance we get this upgrade for free is there's a recall? Why would anyone buy it now?

Wouldn't the recall just get you the original screen with the larger chip? I'm not sure a recall would get you the upgrade.

Typical Tesla BS.

I have both of you beat as I just got my upgrade yesterday, so complete BS as I am pretty sure SA already knew this was coming in advance

I know how some of you feel. I miss AP2 by a few months. I got my MCU2 upgrade scheduled. Just want to know how many people are getting the radio retrofit. 690 seems steep for FM radio.

Booking mine for the 29th with radio upgrade. Is steep, but I feel it is odd without it, maybe I am just old school.
