Tesla confirms recently updating Model S/X media computer, results in faster and smoother experience

Retrofit possible?

I wanna silk smooth like model 3

My car was built from Feb 23 to March 3. Hope I get the new computer!

My X was delivered in mid Feb. and the screen does seem pretty slick, although not amazingly so. I wonder if I was lucky and made the cut for the new processor? Any way to tell either way?

Try here
What's my user agent?
If amd64, then new one

Brilliant thanks! Mine says "undefined" for cpu so looks like I must have the old one. A bit of a shame I narrowly missed out, but the screen seems pretty responsive anyway. Just a bit sluggish on webpage scrolling, but don't use that feature very often anyway.

And now for the big elephant question. Will they offer support for Model S manufacturer dated prior to February?

 

[kevinof]

Here you go. Skip to 5:20 for the start of the "demo".

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

shame you can't just pull the CPU/RAM and swap them or swap a mother board or something...

don't hold your breath on that one, I guess.

This is not yet official, of course, just the gut feeling.

Hmm. My center touchscreen just got replaced yesterday for the yellowing borders. I wonder if that means the CPU was swapped out too?

Let us know if the browser check took reports AMD Cpu.

Not 100 sure but I feel my center console borders might possibly likely but uncertain approaching a lemony color as well!

Haha. Mine was getting pretty bad. An MCU upgrade would be icing on the cake.

Right, can’t wait for you get hands on one

Technically not a "AMD cpu", but amd64 which indicates x86_64 and is an Intel chip.

I did read Intel CPU but it is referred to as AMD64 architecture interestingly enough. I believe x86 is just the 32 bit version.

I wonder what the exact chip is!

dang, that is a pretty big change based upon the screen speed. Feel bad for any new Jan/Feb owners that didn't get this upgrade

From my OA:

"We recently introduced some minor changes to the onboard displays in Model S and Model X currently being built at the factory.

It does not appear that your new Model X has the Intel MCU. Your vehicle was built prior to the minor hardware change. The good news is these changes do not dramatically affect the user interface or overall experience, and are unrelated to Autopilot."

Well, darn. I've got some thinking to do. Right now, I'm leaning toward considering the $2500 the cost of upgrade and cancelling and reordering.

Vin: 913xx
EAP/PUP
Prod start: 2/27

based upon the youtube videos, it does not seem to be a "minor" hardware change. I mean unless Tesla can you show you in person the differences are minor then I'd take the $2500 hit and upgrade because the MCU is something you will be using everyday and is the core of the car.

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

for $2500, i'd prolly do it... you're going to have this car for a while, I assume...

You guys realize there is like a six page post on this already? @bmah can consolidate this all down to 1 thread?
