MCU2 upgrade in Europe

I don’t believe so. I tried to schedule it via the app a few months ago and was told it was US only for the time being, and would most likely be available later in the year in Europe and the UK. Unfortunately my MCU1 was failing so ended up retrofitting MCU2 from a scrapped car myself (with a lot of help from guys on here) - must say it will be worth the wait, it’s like a new car.

Any update on this? has anyone got upgraded recently?

The Infotainment upgrade page on Tesla.com is not even showing up for the European market.
No MCU upgrades, only some FSD ones and only from HW2.5 (reports in UK, NL, Norway and Switzerland as far as I could keep track).

I wouldn't hold my breath until that happens...

Woooo.... could you elaborate a little like where to get a MCU2 and how complex it was?

I got this SMS from my Service Center this morning :)

Guten Tag Herr xxxxxxx,
Neu sind die MCU2 für AP 2.0 und 2.5 verfügbar. Allerdings ist es so, dass bei Fahrzeugen, die bereits das HW 3.0 Retrofit erhalten, dieser Prozess mit der Nachrüstung der MCU2 erst ab Q4 möglich ist. Die Hintergründe und ein Datum im Q4 sind uns nicht bekannt.
Wir bitten um Kenntnisnahme.
Freundliche Grüsse, Tesla Service Basel Möhlin

Yes, you’d be running AP code that’s considered too resource intensive for HW2.5.
Well, that’s purely speculative and there is no evidence of any difference between AP2.5 and AP3 for Enhanced AP so far...

The fact is, Tesla pushes its AP3 hardware upgrades for free everywhere. There is a reason for this which is not related to a car feature or performance, as it wouldn’t be free... They may use it for training the FSD neural networks. But that purely speculative from my side.
