Model S/X deliveries with Intel-based MCU

[Trebek1762]

I have a 244xxx VIN and it does not have the x64 in the UA string

what were your order / production dates?

Still in WY?

I'm in TN with delivery Saturday. I am a 244xxx...I fear that I have the same fate as pears.

It's not just about ViN comparisions, it's about when it was produced...there have been 246xxx viN with the old MCU. What was your production date?

Can anyone set up a page to enter production dates, Vins, etc for comparisions?

IThe followup question is, how long has that comment been in the firmware code? Could it date back to the original?

This is a new addition, was not there in 18.6

 

[SucreTease]

So... I have some potentially very disappointing news for old MCU users.

I'll let you draw conclusions yourself from this comment found in a recent firmware:

/* Overrides for platforms that have newer WebKit versions which can parse thise section
       and new special font handling for differences since the original Qt WebKit. */

@verygreen, in a previous reply to me, you mentioned that you are using a decompiler to examine source code. How on Earth are you getting access to code comments? Decompilers can't reconstruct those.

I don't know my exact production date, but was notified of completion on 2/22/18.

Hmm... Planning to go in for yearly service in about a month. Do you think they would honor another swap if I complain about the reman part? Might get lucky and get one of the new MCUs. How did you approach the SC? Should they not have replaced failing screen with a remanufactured part? Thx

I called SC and explained my position that in a car, which I brought brand new, was a brand new MCU that failed under warranty and it is just reasonable to expect the replacement of that MCU to be brand new, not remanufactured. They offered me one extra year of warranty on the REMAN MCU which I declined and they said, ok, bring it in. It only took one phone call. But, if I were you, I would call now to lodge the complain get the ball rolling, get SC to commit to replacement, then wait a month or so to make sure new model MCU trickle down to SCs

Faster processor is nice and a logical step forward, but I'm not having any real issues with the slow one when driving the car around. I don't see it as a big deal in practice unless you spend a lot of time web browsing in the car. I'd rather they ironed out some of the irritating bugs, like Spotify often hanging after losing signal for a short time, requiring a screen reboot to re-connect.

It sounds like those with the new MCU do have different builds than those with the older MCU. It looks like some got delivered with 2018.6.50 and some have already been updated to 2018.10.1 and neither of those builds had previously been reported.

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

Great news! My MX 75D is 906xx and still showing as "in production" on MyTesla page. Though my delivery specialist claimed in an email yesterday that it's already in transit. So I'm a little nervous, as I don't know when it actually went into production (crazy I know, I never really checked my account page for updates). But I'm guessing it went into production sometime during the first week of March. Scheduled pickup on 3/26

So picking up my MS today. I know that somewhere in this thread is a program to run on the system. Could someone get me that info so after I go through the process and after having a joy ride, i can run the program. I will most likely know when they are going through the car, but I could then verify it.
Thanks

Congrats!! Please grab a quick video as well of the system including a full nav run through

Thanks!

This was in a css for internal UI elements (some of which are implemented via javascript and html and styles).

Order confirmed - Dec 18th
Prod - Feb 16th

Yes, still in WY.

Thanks and will do it as soon as I get my driving in. Probably not until late afternoon early evening

Just as an FYI your warranty specifically states that they can/will use remanufactured parts. So they don't have to replace it. If I were them I would make sure to set aside a new Tegra based MCU just for you.

I tend to agree. I think tesla is prepared for this and has a stockpile of tegra MCUs to use for warranty claims

I'll go out on a limb and be hated, but I have my doubts this is retrofittable with doing a @wk057 special on it, ala Non AP -> AP1, but not as drastic obviously. You probably need the new MCU (known), new drivers mirror(known), new wiring harness(known) and I strongly suspect a new IC ( speculation on this part )

Does the new MCU still have the failing flash storage soldered on?

Most certainly. But the problem is two fold. Older MCUs run at considerably higher temps. The other factor is the repeated rewriting caused by logging and other functions. They haven’t really done much to minimize the write cycles, but the newer MCUs have a lot better cooling ability.
