The original replacement computer was part 1637790-S0-D. They had to go to part 1637790-S0-F for it to work.Since you edit ur posts can you share again the previous revision letter they tried to use so that way I can make sure I don’t go through the same experience

Same here, firmware upgrade issues they say will be solved by an ethernet module. Guess this explains why people were so adamant that refresh had ethernet connection but mine never did haha.

Not my main car, driven mostly by family so I'm not sure. No tidal or anything that takes up extra space that I'm aware of though.
Question for the forum regarding refreshed 2021 Model S/P and deficient HW (not meeting Steam reqs):
1) Were ALL of the refreshed 2021 Model S/P shipped with 8GB RAM?
^If not, is there evidence (in this forum or publicly) showing that at some point in 2021 Tesla changed from 16GB RAM to 8GB RAM for 2021 Model S/P deliveries? And do we have an idea as to WHEN this was?
Thanks! Will help with my case.

That is my intention. Tired of these games and wasted time. Never in a million years did I ever think of suing BMW, Toyota, Nissan, etc... over features shown prior to purchasing one of their cars and then not delivered. In fact, I think those companies mentioned are pretty good with their fine print on commercials/marketing material with anything shown and calling out specific model requirements ("Premiere Package", "Basic Package") in order to obtain said features. Unlike Tesla who shows the world what the refreshed MSP features are, then after you purchase and take delivery, takes the position of "we never said YOUR refreshed MSP would be able to have those features" nor inform you (the more fraudulent point here) that the car you just purchased is incapable of the features that were marketed without you purchasing additional hardware in the future. I'm absolutely OK with the way the established car companies level their car models (Basic, Premium, Luxury) and related features/price when purchasing, but when you buy the most expensive model Tesla sells (no other "level" up to purchase) and you do not receive what was marketed at the time of purchase-- to me this is outright fraud. If Tesla had informed me that "x,y,z features" are NOT present at the time of my delivery, but will be coming in future upgrades and that some of these features may require additional hardware to purchase...I would have been propoerly informed and could have made a decision to purchase, or wait. And the fact that the company plans to burn their highest paying customers, is an alarming customer loyalty position. They could easily make this right for those who have the 2021 MS/P models, why they have chosen the position they have astounds me.
>>>AND TO GET AHEAD OF THIS... I'm DO NOT (nor would I ever) feel that I'm entitled to any features BEYOND what was marketed at the time I purchased this car. I am ONLY demanding that the features that were marketed at the time of my purchase be delivered<<<
Hi - I have a November 2021 build. I do not see steam. Sounds pretty awesome.

It's pretty cool if you don't mind bad input latency. Surprised nobody else seems to care about that (that I've seen), but it's really noticeable.
I picked up my car. I added a samsung T7 2 Tb SSD drive and a PS5 controller. Steam has many artifacts on the menu portion, but inside the games artifacts are gone (for the most part).. Brutal Legend had artifacts at first, then was OK when restarting later. Sonic was fine. You have to download the games in the Tesla, you cannot add the game directly to the hard drive. When you format the drive in the Tesla , 64 gb goes to your Tesla cam and the rest goes to a separate encoded linux partition that requires a passcode. To download the game to your hard drive I found I have to keep the door open, if I close it steam turns off. The downloads take quite a while. You can also stream directly from your home computer but it is slow and glitchy. As far a gameplay .. I added brutal legend and sonic so far and they play great. Gamesaves are synced to the cloud so you can go from your Tesla to your computer or steamdeck and resume the game. It is still a beta first version so things will get better. Also when the computer is changed you have to have the techs send the latest firmware which contains FSD for your VIN, otherwise FSD will not be there. You also have to renengage autopilot and fsd when the computer is swapped out.
Attached is my original invoice (which has the amount due) and a second invoice with no charge because they installed the wrong computer and needed to add and ethernet port and a jumper.

Any video of these artifacts? Mine has some odd flashes as it loads the front end, but none once loaded.
I posted this a few threads on this topic.
My 2 cents on unkept promises…
I believe Tesla should upgrade the MCUs at no charge to make them capable of the promoted features (gaming) that they claimed the car would have with future updates.
The tilting screen falls into this category as well. However, with the reports of rattles… I feel lucky not to have one.
And frankly it seems unnecessary. Great visibility from any angle. I would rather see bigger fonts with more contrast in the UI.
The New Headlights are not in this category.
Moving the horn to the center of the yoke isn’t either, however I believe it is a safety issue that Tesla should also resolve at no cost.
That said…as a result of price increases I paid $23,547 less than I would pay today when I took delivery of my Red Model S Plaid with 19” wheels & FSD in September 2021.
So if I have to begrudgingly fork over another 2k to get it up my MCU upgraded, I will. Not entirely to gain Access to Steam Games.
I suspect future un-promised features will appear down the road that won’t work without the 16gb.

Mine does, too, I believe. Also, the menus are not super responsive. They're responsive "enough" but we're talking around 100ms lag, and the worst input lag I've seen on a modern device, especially one as powerful as the Tesla's CPU/GPU, which is the biggest issue with Steam in the car. A real shame.
