You define the two together? When it crashes, it reboots?
I guess the IC2 reboots with MCU2.
I've read no reports - honest - of MCU2 rebooting while driving.

If some day you put your MCU2 car up for sale and there are other like year, optioned, FSD but MCU1 S's or X's for sale, which do you think will sell better and sooner? I believe our MCU2 cars will bring a better price than MCU1 cars. I don't think it will bring $2500 more, but we will get some of that $2500 back. Maybe not in trade to Tesla, but private sale - uh huh.
By the way, even though FM radio is gone, Tune In sounds much better than it did before with MCU2.
IC display is still a separate process so assuming it's just the QtCar process that crashed IC will still work.
Whole node crashes are rare on both mcu1 and mcu2.
reportedly it does not make much difference yet (based on people that restore and sell tesla cars from salvages).
HW3 or not makes a difference in both price and speed of sale, mcu2 - not yet.
I've had it happen to me. Scared the crap out of me the first time it happened.
Another call from Tesla and another delay for my MCU/FSD upgrade. Originally scheduled for May 11.
They still haven’t received my FSD computer. They pushed the service appointment by another week, but honestly they have no idea when the parts will arrive. No ETA.

My wife's 2018 Model S with MCU2 apparently reboots regularly enough while driving, that when I once drove my teenage daughter once and my MCU1 rebooted, she told me "mom's car does it all the time". I know my wife doesn't even know the two thumb salute reboot, so apparently MCU2 just reboots spontaneously. Oh, also, my wife stopped telling me about any such issues because she really doesn't want to go through the hassle of Tesla service, especially that most of the time they come back with "just wait for a new firmware upgrade", even for things like stupid folding mirror which was not unfolding all the way - it took 4 visits to SC to fix, and by the last one my wife told be to duct tape the freaking mirror because she had enough of wasting time going to the service center (not SC's fault btw, Tesla engineering released a bad design and took few months to correct it, we got 3 or 4 mirror assemblies swapped before getting a one which doesn't go limp while driving).
On the one day/two day, I've *never* had Tyson's do anything same day. From watching the cars on the app, I think they just get them in and get to them when they can. Pretty sure all the work for my MCU upgrade/HW3 was done in one day.

Right. So your cars have issues and you complain about them rather than even try to get them fixed. I guess if you don't get them fixed it means you can keep complaining. Hasn't this been going on exactly this way for years? You should have your own YouTube channel.
My MCU1 freezes and needs reboots all the time. Should I complain to service about that

Mine was pretty stable overall and definitely not 'all the time'. I'd question your eMMC going bad. I'd track the 'all the time' date/times and then contact Tesla for sure if you are under warranty. Otherwise I'd get the eMMC replaced. Or as I did do the MCU2 upgrade.
Since FSD MCU1 is borderline unusable. I am not complaining about web browser but the default maps is so laggy that if you miss your exit and by the time nav reroutes will miss another exit.
I actually did factoy reset due to severe lag after FSD computer upgrade and noted old color maps prior to downloading new maps! Why is Tesla uploading new maps over old maps?

it should be noted that you don't know if you have a reboot or a UI restart unless you closely time it (and yes, hvac and music cuts and so on even on just the UI restart so cannot depend on it)
I've seen plenty of UI restarts, full node reboots are rather rare in my experience on the other hand.
verygreen, How to identify a UI restart vs reboot? (when the screen(s) go blank while driving)

For people who've done the upgrade, how is listening to the radio only through streaming? Is it frustrating, or not a big deal? (I like to flip between channels while driving quite often I suppose)
It is seriously stupid that Tesla won't install a new tuner to go along with it

Wait... can't you test this out already using your MCU1?
Personally I'm thrilled they are doing MCU1 to MCU2 upgrades at all. That was HUGE! Geez. They probably should have allowed another $500-600 option for those that can't live without their FM. I only used it at the Drive-In movies occasionally.It is seriously stupid that Tesla won't install a new tuner to go along with it

The MCU1 takes ages to buffer any of the streaming channels. I wanted to know if the performance on the MCU2 is better or still painfully slow to switch channels?
It's not bad with LTE and a fresh emmc. Are you on 3G with a old car?
