Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

[bmah]

I'll admit that I don't know much in this area, but I don't think there's that much of a connection/dependency on the AP version and the MCU. I could be wrong, though.

My comment wasn't quite about technical viability, I was thinking mostly from the standpoint of Tesla needing to test and support combinations of hardware that don't currently exist.

Ah, I see now.

I’m sure the upgrade will happen. MCU1 is really struggling with these updates. Spotify is almost unusable and songs constantly skip. So much lag when pressing the screen. I’m scared to run requests for songs and have navigation on at the same time. Tesla has to do something about this.

 

[DigAdrenaline]

Yeah, especially if they time it to do FSD, yellowed screen and MCU all on the same visit. Seems like there would be a great profit opportunity, without much additional labor cost while the dash is opened up.

Yep. I’d be in, gladly. That’s exactly the service I would want.

So reading this thread, I decided to clear the 2 years of history from my car. Interestingly, many addresses will delete, but reappear when I go back into the address history. Any thoughts?

I deleted my profile, created new, but everything was still there even after that. So I’m a bit confuzzed.

# Intel UI profile data backup and restore utility

Script and API also reference "computer_replacement" so seems pretty darn clear to me what it is intended to be used for...

Also they already have a routine for MCU1 to MCU1 in toolbox, so this is definitely something new.

Could it be utility for a MCU2 to MCU2 replacement??

Try swiping right on each location.

I think there is a bug when you try to “press and hold it for a second and tap X”

I had that exact same problem way back a year or two ago with some version v8.1. Deleted destinations would reappear after reopening the Nav. Only some destinations but always same ones, problem went away eventually after one of the updates, I forget exactly which one.

When was MC2 introduced?

Did nothing. No option to delete.

Does this really works? Sounds like an awful coding job to me.

Jan, I am one of those owners with a late 2017 MX who up until the 2019 updates experienced nearly flawless experiences. Since the 2019 updates I have experienced regular stuttering with Spotify, considerably long Power Up periods, jumbled letters in the main display and sometimes very sluggish response, indicator signal goes silent, a higher frequency of having to reboot, first inbound phone call no sound, etc. Overall, the software, in me experience, has become very unstable lately. Could be related to new features now consuming more CPU cycles (MCU1) and my vehicle only has 3G connectivity. Tesla Service has suggested I perform a Factory Reset, but so far I have resisted to avoid resetting all of my preferences, but if a Factory Reset does the trick, resetting personal settings is a small price to pay for near-flawless experience again.

That's the method I've always used to clear them.

When was MC2 introduced?

I think it was around March 2018.

 

[mebwp]

When was MC2 introduced?

Exactly 1 day after my car was built.

I took delivery late March 2018.
Car was build end of Feb. Not a happy time waiting for delivery knowing it was coming with an "older" MCU.
And yes I am one of the lucky ones having lots of issues with mine.

You have to slide them all the way to the right, until they disappear.

Why didn’t you cancel if you knew ahead of time?

I am the same as you. Built end of Feb 2018 didn’t see it coming

I don’t feel so bad than mine was Jan 2018 build .. this isn’t so bad though my friends X was built 2weeks before this last refresh

MCU1 to MCU2 upgrades? They definitely will. Some evidence in the latest MCU1 firmwares that they’re getting ready for it. They added some tools in the firmware and on their servers to help migrate user data/settings/etc from MCU1 to MCU2.

They should do that anyway for repairs even if they never intend to market an upgrade path.

Yep, Worked after a reboot. Thanks
