A'-Lo-HA ! y'all
Toni does a great job. I had mine replaced with him. Great guy! If someone isn't comfortable opening up their entire dash, taking out the MCU and the board, I can help you with that (west coast). I'll come to you, and bring the chip to Toni and then came back to you and put everything back together.
I have done a lot of repairs on my own and other people's Model S, if you need help with other things I might be able to help.

I believe the word you are looking for is twit. Grin.
I think it was before .40 I cant remember the exact version. However recently Tesla has changed the logging. Green has twitted the info, we have also seen it.
It's greatly reduced to only when car is on now. It's not eliminated, however eliminated is not great either.

Thanks TonyT. Good to hear you comments. And good to hear you repeat - sort of confirming that logging has been reduced.

If you still are doing this, I would be greatly helped! I’m left with this issue at a charger in a parking garage that won’t fit a tow truck. Tesla refuses to send out mobile technicians.
If there’s anyone who can do this in the Bay Area, I’m in South Bay in great need of help.
Thank you I’m advance.

I believe the point is to avoid driving an unreliable car. If your emmc is dying, your car becomes a ticking time bomb. Would you like to go on a cross country trip knowing that your emmc is on its last legs? Even if it's under warranty, if it dies in the middle of your trip it will cost you way more in the trip interruption costs that the preventative emmc swap. Imaging being stuck 1,500 miles from home and having the option to tow the car the last 1,500 miles, or pay to live in a hotel somewhere for up to a month while waiting for a free MCU replacement, or you can fly home, then return to pick up the car, or have it shipped once it's fixed - all costs not part of warranty coverage. When my MCU started dying, I would not take my car anywhere past about 60 miles away from home, never wanted to have it die on me with almost empty battery either, as it could prevent your car from charging.
There is also one more hidden benefit of preventative replacement under warranty, if your MCU cannot be recovered, just it back together and have it repaired by Tesla under warranty - they have ways to regenerate keys if needed.
Is there someone that can copy my eMMC data, remove the old chip replace the new chip (I bought it).
Or is there someone in NY that can do this?
Thanks!

Yes we can help with that via shipping. Total time including shipping takes about 1-2 weeks. Can be faster with faster shipping options.
Thanks TonyT I was given appleguru name as he's on the east coast about 3 hrs from me.
