I was reading another thread, and realizing that there are some very different situations with the MCU2 upgrade.
Some people bought a car in 2012. The MCU2 upgrade for $1500 gets them LTE ($500 otherwise), and feels pretty reasonable after 9 years of ownership, more than half that out of warranty. It's amazing Tesla supports that! MCU1 already did so much more than was ever advertised originally, and now MCU2 does it even better.
Some people bought a car in 2018. It still has almost 2 years of warranty left. $1500 just to get voice commands working while under warranty feels very wrong. MCU1 is so bad at many of the things it was advertised to do.
The more I think about it, the more it's wrong that Tesla has a fixed "upgrade" cost. Cars still in warranty should be treated differently.
