Hey @Akikiki , on a slight tangent on this thread, saw on teslatap, that you tried out the new repeater sidecams AP 2.5/3.0 vs the original AP2.0 repeater cameras. Do you feel its worth replacing the side cameras? Asking as I have an AP2.0 car that I recently upgraded to AP3.0/MCU2, but the cameras are still the old ones. TIA
Oh no, just got a note today from the service rep, my car is now on engineering hold and they assigned a loaner to me. feels like to me its going to be a while before I can get my car back

Thanks for the update. Sometimes being on the "bleeding edge" of technology can be painful. I'm hoping Tesla's Costa Mesa Service Center gets this figured out soon so I can upgrade my 2015 P85D+ frequently sluggish MCU1 to a MCU2 before my MCU 1 dies (which would be covered under my 4-year Tesla Extended Service Agreement Extended Service Agreement (less my $200 deductible of course).
Ok folks, my MCU died this week on my 2015 MS. I just got word from Tesla it's a 1-2 month wait for a rebuilt MCU1 or I can pay $2500 for a new MCU2. The car is still under Tesla's 4 year CPO warranty.
Has anyone gotten a new MCU2 for less than $2500 when the original MCU1 died under warranty?
Thanks in advance.

Lol. Sounds like you are SOL. Beg them for a loaner and rack up miles on it for 2 months

Yeah, that’s not gonna happen.Wow that's a bummer. I'll see about that loaner then
Nor is a discount on MCU2 upgrade.
That said, most people are waiting 1-2 months right now for MCU2 parts too...
Nope, but they may be prioritizing the supply that is available to people with failed MCU1s. (Hence why they gave you the option to get your car repaired sooner.)

I agree with Mike. We are finally seeing Tesla offer MCU2's to people with failed MCU1 - REGARDLESS of YEAR of car. Yes, they are offering MCU2 to AP1 and Pre-AP that have failed MCU1's. Sounds like a great idea considering shortages of MCU1.
Anyone with failed MCU1 might want to consider MCU2's. There's been a shortage of re-manufactured MCU1s for about two months now.
I just my predictions, but now that we are seeing more MCU2's available. Think about it, every MCU2 installed frees up another MCU1 core that goes back for re-manufacture. Its still going to take a couple of months before we see the MCU1 re-manufactured stock catch up to the backlog. Maybe two months or more.

Always wonder why some SC's have issues with the settings and firmware and configuration and all. Mine was painless (back in March). Is there some real reason why every SC that does this shouldn't have the same documentation and process and once the mechanical part is done, it should be, do this and that and then this (with the toolbox or whatever) and it works? Or am I missing something? Serious question.
I have received an estimate for my MX FSD retrofit. one of the line items reads "Full Self-Driving Computer and E-Speaker Retrofit".
Does anyone know anything about "E-Speaker Retrofit" or received one? I never heard of it before. it appears to be bundled with Full Self-Driving HW3 upgrade.

@boaterva, if I were to guess, based on my years doing auto and IT work? We don't read the documentation or instructions until it fails to work 4-5 times. Why would these humans be different? I think if I were in their shoes, I'd find myself doing the same thing, if this is accurate.
Huge shout out to @Akikiki for this. I just did it, no errors or issues. Wanted to get it into this thread - I probably would have had the SC do this at the same time as the MCU/FSD upgrade if I'd known it would work.

@captjoemcd, If it eases your mind, SC likely would not do it. Right or wrong, make sense or not, they have policies against doing mods that disrupt or change the car's configuration. They don't want to deal with changes to the cars. That's the reason that they would not activate my digital tuner - even though later in same year cars have digital tuner and active radio in the configuration.
