I just got my MCU replaced (MCU2). The SA is telling me this is because there was a reboot loop (which apparently caused all sorts of issues). He explained that it was due to MCU data corruption and it is very time consuming for Tesla to repair the data corruption so they just choose to replace the MCU. He blamed the MCU data corruption on my USB drive that I use for Sentry mode (SSD 120GB USB3 TB Rugged drive from LaCie). The drive was disconnected when I dropped off the car for service.
He is telling me that the only drive I can use is one that matches Tesla's recommendation (which my drive does match). He also says that it must be a USB key and not one with a cable. Has anyone ever heard of this requirement to only use a USB key?
It sounds like BS to me... but I'm in a quandary. The USB drives that I see recommend are ones just like the one I have. Samsung T5/T7. According to the SA I can't use that. I must use a shitty USB key. And does it really sound likely that they would replace an MCU instead of just factory resetting the data on the MCU if it was just data corruption?
FYI - all this started b/c the MCU had faults relating to USB which caused some issues with GPS starting up when I would start driving in the morning.
Thanks,
Noah
