So far so good MCU2 upgrade

[vchadha]

I am thinking to upgrade my MX 2017 MCU1 to MCU2. I think it costs around $3k+tax. I know that current Tesla's are using MCU3. Does anyone know if Tesla will ever offer a MUC1 to MCU3 upgrade?

No. It made a bit of sense for MCU1 >> MCU2, because there were folks who were stuck with AP2 and MCU1 - but It would be an incredibly wasteful exercise to offer a MCU upgrade to a version built for a different layout and different supporting systems on a car that's up to 10 years old.


If you want MCU3, their stance will be: "buy a new car."

I may have missed this, so apologies in advance - does the MCU2 upgrade retain driver profiles, connected BT devices, garage door opener etc? Or does all of this have to be setup again?

In my case most had to be setup again. I didn't mind really - it kind of had the effect of getting a new car feeling to it all.

I couldn't believe how seamless mine was. Got my car back last night and driver profiles, garage door opener, spotify login were all intact. The only thing I had to do was to add my phone back, that's it!

The trip counters were reset to zero, but that's ok and not a biggie at all.
