Not exactly, only the eMMC failure is getting the extended warranty. Nothing else will be covered. For example the screen, LTE, WiFi, GPS, etc. (Other than the eMMC and bubbling/yellow screens the rest of the MCU seems to be fairly reliable.)

Any luck on getting them to approve what? Repairing the failed MCU/eMMC? People have been having "luck" with that for a very long time.
But the FAQ specifically calls out that it is not a pro-active replacement and they don't want you scheduling a service appointment unless you are experiencing a failed MCU.
There should be one benefit: They should get their $200 deductible back if they had a repair covered by the extended service agreement. (Which is not an extended warranty.)
Well, This should be QUITE interesting. Had my MCU1 replaced in April due to complete failure (Blank Screen) this was out of warranty so cost me $2000, based on the info here (from Tesla) I should be reimbursed for this.
The replacement "remanufactured" MCU is now rebooting regularly and the steering wheel controls have failed again and were replaced at the end of last month. Service stated that they "Reflashed the FPGA due to errors" and the MCU is now "error free and working as designed". Except for the fact that it has just rebooted again this week and is sluggish to the point of un-useability for navigation, both of which are hallmarks of impending MCU failure (for the second time)
I see a number of scenarios playing out
1. Tesla denies any problem with the current MCU, after protracted "discussion" refunds my $2000 for the 1st replacement
2. Tesla Blames the first MCU failure on the car stereo system I had installed (happens EVERY SINGLE SERVICE!!!) and claims I am ineligible for the refund, AND denies any problem with the current MCU
3. Tesla says "our Bad" and offers an upgrade to MCU2 in lieu of refund for MCU1 replacement (Which I would gladly accept)
Based on past experience I'ma say scenario 2....
Or more likely:
4. Tesla refunds your $2,000 for the prior repair and replaces the Tegra daughtercard with a new one when your MCU "fails" for free. (Assuming you are still in the 8-year/100k mile period.)
partially was done to avoid class action lawsuit that was pending in California and to avoid a costly recall forced by the government.

well....very interesting thing just happened
.......I dont mean to burst anyones bubble here, but I reached out to the service center on the mcu daughterboard email, and inquired about when they could perform this. I received a message saying this......just for some context here. I have been experiencing random reboots, frozen maps, laggy spotify, laggy everything that I would characterize from my understanding of a eMMC chip that is definitely struggling due to whatever reason. So, that being said, not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but it doesnt look like Tesla is just going to happily replace these boards
