The yankee sheila at Melbourne service said they had just started doing them before she left USA to live here & that it was a ‘simple swap’. They would probably train their mobile tech to do it

Are you saying that she stated AP2/MCU1 upgrades were occurring? My understanding is that they can't do them yet, in fact Musk tweeted something last month IIRC that they hope to be able to do the upgrades in a few months. There are rumors that AP3 and MCU1 are not compatible.
Meanwhile AP2.5 swaps are definitely taking place on S/3/X (in the USA).

I have read this also, but have not seen the technical explanation why. One thing’s for sure they will have to upgrade from 3G to 4G sooner rather than later because maps won’t render for even semi-autonomous driving
Also is the yellow border an issue on MCU2 cars? Because if they do end up replacing the MCU1, it will then kill 2 birds
Yes it is. My AP2.5 MCU2 S had the yellow border issue, but it was resolved with the UV machine that they have available in Australia now. Not sure whether it will come back, but it's been a few months now and no sign of yellowing again.
Each service centre is getting a UV machine, after the solitary unit failed in December. They are still waiting
So the AP2 cars can't easily update.
The full FSD will probably not be released (withheld) until all the AP2 cars are rust buckets anyway.
In the meantime they release "features" piece by piece (like NoA and traffic light recognition, stop sign recognition) to keep the bulk of their customers slightly happy and encouraged; but the AP2 cars do not even get these features.
How stupid were the AP2 customers? Someone got a hat with "loser" written on it that they can send me?

Bet you still love the car?
If you’re in an S/X don’t worry, it won’t rust
I knew you would say that!!! But it'll rust before it drives itself I bet... Prove me wrong.

It won’t rust, as in fall to bits rust as it’s all aluminium....I bet you’ll get the upgrade to AP3.0 (if you’ve paid for FSD) before it rusts....I’m sure if you have AP2.0 it drives itself now, albeit it not Level 5
There is no reason why the AP2 cars can’t have NOA. They do in the US.
Someone has observed, and I think there is evidence to suggest they are correct, that it's MCU1 that was unable to be updated to 2019.40.50.7, not the drive computer (AP2).
NoA has been running in the USA on AP2 for quite some time.
I genuinely believe that the Model S/X AP2 MCU1 cars in Australia will be getting NoA when whatever the issue is, is resolved, its just unfortunate that the build that finally enabled NoA in Australia is currently incompatible with them - potentially due to MCU1.
Not so long ago, Elon said they didn't recommend upgrading to MCU2, and that they were trying to achieve further software optimisation of MCU1. Maybe that is what we are waiting on. Having said that I wonder if the MCU1 flash lifetime issue will render that opinion incorrect.

Maybe. Their are two now - one in Maryland and the other in Texas. Both locations are apparently in China
Has anyone said that those who purchased FSD get their MCU1 upgraded as well as their AP2.0?
Seriously the early adopters are going to feel it really hard... Very disappointing...

Anyone that bought FSD on a AP2.0/2.5 S/X has been promised an upgrade that will make it feature parity with AP3.0 cars. One would assume all hardware however I guess it could be a combination of hardware and software....
... it seems to enumerate the lanes from the centre towards the outside. Then when a shoulder exists in the middle of the road, the AP will perceive this as the phantom overtaking lane and align itself to the wrong lane to take the exit.
