I don’t have an AP3 car to test but this from i1tesla a year ago: I’d imagine the differences will be bigger over time as they move more of the code base from c to the NN.
This whole test is stupid! I was expecting proper autopilot behavior comparison, but the only thing they compare is user interface related, ie MCU. The nag time is a simple timer set for legal reasons, and has nothing to do with hardware performance. Really nothing interesting there.
I just had my MCU2 retrofit done! Now I have working voice commands, and planning a long cross country trip takes seconds instead of minutes!
I will recheck as I don’t use radio, but I think there is no FM and no DAB. Yes, HW3 but I don’t believe it changes anything in Europe.
Any news when MCU2 upgrade is coming to pre-AP cars in Europe? MCU1 just died last week. What's more, I sent my Tegra card for eMMC change and Finnish Post seems to have lost the parcel.. If MCU2 was available now I'd probably go for it.
Hi! Tesla Service Centre in Birmingham, United Kingdom has just confirmed with me my appointment for an MCU upgrade — please see enclosed screenshot. /// Hi xxx, MCU upgrade can be purchased for £2400 inc VAT. However once fitted the radio turner will need upgrading which is an additional cost, we don't yet have the cost for this. You can have the MCU upgrade and use the internet radio, if you do not want the radio tuner upgrade, which is approx £500, but cannot currently confirm this. Thank you, Tesla Service Birmingham
The £500 are for the radio tuner upgrade if you do it after your MCU2 upgrade was completed (separate service appointment)?
The Radio Tuner upgrade can be carried out in the same appointment. I have placed an order for both parts.
Hi, Just to be sure (I may have a overlooked this in one of your earlier postings), does this relate to an AP1 car? Kr, Martin
Hi, I'm in desperate need for an MS 2015 (AP1). If you hear anything from your end please let us know.
No, this was an AP2.5 I'm super happy with the upgrade, by the way. Now the car really feels finished and working as it should: Everything, especially keyboard is responsive Voice commands mostly work Planning a long trip using nav takes seconds instead of minutes Sentry works and is now reliable (onboard player is a plus) Web browser works (I mostly use it for driving aids : teslawinds, abrp) Searching for music is fast Scrolling nav map is fast In short : I was not looking for new features such as games, but having the actual (and advertised...) features just working properly. Now they do, the only drawback was having to pay for it...
I have a Model S, Nov 2013 model. MCU1 has been replaced once before but I am waiting for the MCU2 upgrade. Anyone in the Netherlands who knows when it will come to a pre-AP car?
Mine is a MS 2015. Looking for it as well (in NL). Based on FalconWings17 message above, I checked with Tesla Birmingham and they kinda confirmed. I will check again in Rotterdam tomorrow. Keep you posted.
