Onboard Computer upgrade/expansion

[MonkeyBC]

Have Tesla upgraded the computer since 2012? Are there provisions to add more ram or update the CPU etc? Computers are getting faster and more elaborate and as new functions are developed it would be nice to know that our cars can have the latest computer technology if required.

I've not seen any mention of RAM upgrades. They have also not changed it yet, so upgrades are not possible.

They might design the next objects a drop in replacement, but expect very high cost.

Yeah the system is really slow, even after clearing cache/history from the navigation.

Now that AP2 cars have two computer, do you guys think the UI performance will be better?

I've been waiting for this to happen... It's what's kept me from upgrading... well that and these cars are damn expensive. Unfortunately the 7500 tax credit will probably be gone before we see new CPU/GPU/RAM skus for the dash and center screens

No, the powerful computer is dedicated to AP only. Not connected to the UI at all.
