My guess is the Biden administration will be less tolerant of a light regulatory touch. Doubt they will get a pass on this.
Also have a scheduled customer pay daughter board replacement coming up and deciding what’s the best move now. Suspect supplies will be hard to get for quite some time if they are forced to do the full recall
Purely from a technical aspect: After being subjected to nothing but issues on my MCU1 after upgrading to HW3? I finally bit the bullet and purchased MCU2 upon guidance from my service advisor. Since that MCU2 install? ZERO issues. All voice commands work all the time, zero black screens/delays, zero "loading" messages for streaming services, zero delays/lag..I mean its as if the MCU2 was engineered/designed to work with HW3.
mcu2 is the real remedy. I think The software is too bloated for mcu1. There is both the hardware problem and the self inflicted “bloat” problem.
the ghost of my cheapskate father is keeping me from paying the $2500 for the MCU2 upgrade. Hard to break old habits!
U.S. asks Tesla to recall 158,000 vehicles for touchscreen failures
Wow. I guess Tesla saw this coming and started offering the goodwill fix.
Somehow, I missed the "goodwill fix". Perhaps I will get a "goodwill refund" if it progresses!

You can have mine. Scheduled cust pay request in late Sept. Still has not shipped. I cancelled appt yesterday.

"NHTSA added that “during our review of the data, Tesla provided confirmation that all units will inevitably fail given the memory device’s finite storage capacity.”
Don't count on any assistance from Tesla until the NHTSA forces them to make the change. My 2016 in in shop as we speak due to the MCU chip issues. Black screen, bluetooth screwups, not able to upload updates, and even going forward when I put it in reverse!!! A full reboot fixes the issue each time.And i have to do either a soft or hard reboot at least once a week.U.S. asks Tesla to recall 158,000 vehicles for touchscreen failures

Did they say what the symbol was?Finally!
Presently the "Warranty Adjustment Service Advisory" that us affected users have faced states that they will upgrade the 8GB eMMC to a 64GB eMMC (flash module in the MCU). My MCU reboots constantly and frequently loses audio notifications while using autopilot (lane changes without a ding to notify me - no turn signal sounds too).
I took my car in for this eMMC replacement but my SC refused to replace it as there is apparently a prompt that needs to be displayed by my car for them to do so.
My best is this recall just forces them to replace the eMMC instead of relying on whatever software update to identify it as an issue.
Weird. They told me two weeks when I did it. Appt is for next week.
Newer software making old hardware obsolete is not a software bug, it’s a feature!I speculate that a large portion of the problems we are experiencing are software bugs.
clearly some have hardware problems but even people with new replacements are experiencing problems.
curious if they can optimize or cut down some of the bloat and make it work again.
I do like the idea of MCU2 at a discount with some features removed like advanced games, netflix, etc.
HA!In the letter to Tesla, the NHTSA estimates that the MCU failure takes an average of only 5-6 years. I bought a used Model S from Tesla (so still under warranty) and my MCU failed after 4.6 years and 36k total miles. It was replaced under warranty (with a refurbed MCU1) but since the odds of it failing again are 100% according to NHTSA, I'm curious what they are going to do permanently fix this. Tesla has a history of taking the cheap and easy way out and now they are going to have to pay for this behavior.
I'm sure you are correct. Both the Model S and Model X manuals have incorrect explanations of ways to invoke the voice recognition feature. This defect has been present in the manuals through several iterations of the manuals -- at least since 2019. If the _visible_ documentation can't be performed correctly, just imagine how well the _invisible_ coding is.I speculate that a large portion of the problems we are experiencing are software bugs.
HA!
5 to 6 years for a failure?
My 2012 Sig has 43K miles.
I am on my 3rd MCU as of Dec 2019.
So try a MBF of 3 to 4 years, and not too many miles at all!
