Moderator comment - thread renamed from "MS Ap1 mcu upgrade or not?"
Hi guys,
Second post and wanted to say a huge thanks to all the users who gave so much great advice in my first post.
I have recently bought my first Tesla, MS 85 2014 (64plate) with AP1.
I now know a bit more about the car and absolutely love it, even if the range is on the short side and charges comparatively slow to other users cars. But i do appreciate having free supercharging and premium connectivity for life.
I have been experiencing some crashing of the trip computer and the energy graph on the IC. After a few reboots, i finally decided to do a factory reset, which seemed to take forever ! Since then the issues seem to be resolved for now.
Before the reset i called Tesla because i have read alot about the emmc chip issue and recall, but seems the previous owner may have had it done thirdparty.
Anyway, i wanted some thoughts, experiences and advice as i am considering upgrading mcu2 , even though my mcu1 still seems fine albeit very very slow and only 3G.
Has anyone here had it done on an ap1 car?
If so, is there any noticeable change to autopilot?
Tesla told me today that it will remain 3G, can anyone confirm this as my research seems to indicate that the new mcu2 will have LTE.
Is the Wifi chip changed ? And if so is wifi performance better?
Does the mcu2 also include a new IC display? If so, is it less 'old school LCD backlight bleed' with blacks instead of greys?
Looking at how often i am at the superchargers, i rather like the idea of having my Youtube premium on the display instead of small phone screen !
Thanks guys!!
