Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

Yes under warranty. I’m excited. I was told this is 100% the case just today. So let’s see when I get my car back.

What went wrong with your MCU? I just called my Service Center they said a retrofit is possible. It will cost around 85k.

Can you send a screenshot of the message so that the rest of us can use it as a reference

I’m taking delivery of my new MX 100D on Friday. I emailed my DS just a few minutes about this, he confirmed that my MX has the new MCU. It started production on 2/28 with a 901xx VIN

Hooray

They pretty much have to offer a retrofit now. Otherwise were going to be seeing the service center flooded with "broken" MCU's

2447xx, and was notified of completion on 2/22. Doesn’t mean that was completion however. Taking delivery Friday, and I’m not feeling too optimistic about about receiving the upgrade. Anyone have words of hope?

Report on the part number they replace it with please.

Not likely but good luck!

888xx MX 75D -- picking up on Saturday. Prod Started 2/22..... I'm hoping all of the March deliveries get this upgrade. I'll keep you posted!

Awesome! Hopefully, we can get some confirmed sightings and match to some Vin/Prod Starts.

$h1t! I was hoping but not banking on it. I know every other owner thinks that giving this much for a car with a 6 year old mcu on it is frustrating, but it’s even worse to be so close and miss out.

On the S it looks it it needs to be produced after the factory shutdown which is ~2/28 or so. Don’t know about the X but good luck!

I am going to email my local sc for them to ask hq about possibility of a retrofit. This is something that I really, really want.

Oh man, that would be brutal. I’ll take all the luck I can get!

So the MCU powering the 17" main display is now an Intel Gordon Peak chipset (awesome!), formerly a Tegra 3 chipset. Up to now, the IC was powered by a separate Tegra 2 chipset.

Can we try to confirm whether the IC display chipset has also been upgraded from the Tegra 2?

I would throw a fit if you don't get the upgrade and only missed it by a few days. I'd be very upset if I missed this upgrade, which is a significant usability improvement IMO.

Are you taking delivery in Brentwood? If so, I'll be there taking delivery myself and will gladly support you in person, even if I get the newer MCU. I'm serious, just let me know.

No wonder they easily changed my MCU a last month during service for a noise. Old MCU was about to be obsolete soon!

No doubt! I have this gut feeling that mine might end up with a fist-sized dent in the middle of the screen. "Shifting cargo" will probably be cited as the cause.

Be very careful throwing words like “throw a fit” around here. Those are fighting words.

Unique issue. Is later VIN better?

Thanks Arrowpine, unfortunately I am taking delivery in Decatur, GA. I am really big on tech, and wouldn’t be upset if I missed my several months because I would have the benefit of at least enjoying the car. to miss it by a week or so when others are receiving their vehicle before me, and getting updates will be frustrating to say the least. I bought a Tesla for several reasons. Beautiful vehicle, American made, and a startup company that many said would fail, and that I also very much wanted to support. Their in a cash crunch, and I thought maybe my purchase would help a little. I want to see them succeed, but I also want a technologically advanced car. Enough rant...I just really would like a more responsive MCU.

I won’t be throwing a fit, but I do plan to ask nicely and politely if there is anything they can do for me. I’ll still take delivery, I’m not going to piss $2,500 down the drain. This is like sports...a 1 point loss in OT is always more painful than a blowout. At least in a blowout, it didn’t seem like there was anything I could do.
