What is the best way to determine if you have MCU 1 or 2? I'm pretty sure I had MCU 1 originally, but had the MCU replaced Sep 2018.
Wondering how to check the HW version.

I’ve done that twice and told to wait until mid December to mid January.. They are nearly done with both the special harness and the software updates to support the new MCU/2 as the retrofit you’re MCU/1.
You think we’ll actually get an MCU2 retrofit? Given they haven’t come out with that already as an optional upgrade, I’m just assuming they create compatibility with the FSD computer via software. I would be ecstatic if you were true (February 2018 build), but I’m not getting my hopes up.
Does anyone know why the MCU is preventing us with 2.0 to get 3.0?
I would have expected the radar or cameras to be the roadblock.

(DISCLAIMER - I have no technical experience with any of this, and I’m just a hack who reads the forms)
PREDICTION: MCU1 will be compatible with FSD computer/HW3. It just won’t be developed until after more FSD features are already delivered on the M3 & newer S/X’s. Then they’ll have time to finally develop a hack for MCU1.
I tried to schedule an appointment to upgrade to AP3 & MCU2 and this is what I got back...
We made the same upgrade requests about 6 weeks ago and were put on the schedule. A couple of weeks later, a few days before our scheduled appointment, it was cancelled.I (JUST NOW) tried to schedule an appointment to upgrade to HW3 and MCU2. I immediately got this back as a text from mobile service.....
A Mobile Service Technician is scheduled to arrive on 2019-12-09 between the hours of 8:30:00 & 10:30:00. If there are extreme weather conditions, please provide garage or shelter access. Manage your appointment from the Tesla app - adjust date, time and services needed. We will contact you with any updates and provide an estimated service duration before your appointment. Visit our Support Page or the Tesla app for further assistance.
As this is just a robo answer to the request, I will not be holding my breath for the event to occur. But it occurred to me that the response possibly could be screened and you could get a different robo answer if your VIN is not on the list?
I do not believe it is that simple.Aluminum bezel / trim = MCU 1, dark gray bezel / trim = MCU 2

Currently, they are only upgrading AP 2.5 cars built after March 2018.Negative. I got the same response. My car was produced on October 31st, 2016. If your car was produced before that, then maybe you have a better shot at successfully getting the upgrade.

Well, it appears that the information YOU have may no longer be true, as I just received this email from Tesla.

Yes, we received the same email 6 weeks ago. Our appointment was then cancelled days before the upgrade was supposed to take place.Well, it appears that the information YOU have may no longer be true, as I just received this email from Tesla.

Again, that doesn't mean anything. I got the same thing.
We shall see as my car is MUCH newer than yours. There is much time between now and December 9 to receive a notice that they are not going to update my car. Until such time as I have been informed by Tesla that it will not happen, I can always hope?
